Choosing Between the Mace Variants for Combat

Comparing the Three Variants

Each mace variant fills a different role:

  • Diamond Mace – faster and stronger than the vanilla Mace, plus a main-hand speed boost. Best for players who want mobility and consistent melee damage.
  • Flame Mace – built-in Fire Aspect. Best against fleshy, non-fire-immune mobs and for damage over time.
  • Wind Sword – Wind Burst II and Sharpness. Best for knockback, crowd control, and launching enemies into fall damage.

Picking the Right One

  • Fighting fast, evasive mobs? Use the Diamond Mace for its speed.
  • Facing a tanky mob that you want to whittle down? The Flame Mace's burn helps.
  • Surrounded by a mob swarm? The Wind Sword's knockback scatters them.

General Tips

All mace variants still benefit from the mace smash mechanic, so jump or drop before attacking for bonus damage. Keep a backup weapon for fire-immune or knockback-resistant enemies. Carry the variant that matches your playstyle rather than switching constantly mid-fight.
