Crafting and Fighting with the Smouldering Mace

Crafting the Smouldering Mace

The Smouldering Mace provides a fire-focused combat option that defends against environmental flames while scorching nearby monsters.

1. Gather a Blaze Rod from a Nether Fortress.

2. Open a Crafting Table and arrange the recipe using a standard mace layout, substituting the standard Breeze Rod with your Blaze Rod.

3. Pull the Smouldering Mace from the crafting output slot.

Combat and Fire Defense

The Smouldering Mace provides both passive defense and offensive area-of-effect capabilities:

• Passive Protection: As long as you hold the Smouldering Mace in your hand, you are completely protected from fire damage.
• Triggering the Fire Ring: Position yourself above hostile targets. Jump and execute a melee attack while descending. Landing the downward strike triggers an elemental blast that forms a protective ring of fire around you.
• Crowd Damage: Enemies standing in or touching the flames will burn over time, while you remain safe and unharmed inside the fiery perimeter.
