Anti-Mace
by AvatarKage
Anti-Mace is a NeoForge mob mod that changes how a turtle helmet interacts with the mace's falling attack.
What it does
Wearing a turtle helmet cancels the extra damage from a mace's falling attack, so the helmet works as a counter to that one attack. The change is limited to the mace's falling strike and leaves the rest of the combat unchanged. Anti-Mace runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Turtle helmet counter
A turtle helmet blocks the bonus damage a mace deals when the wearer is struck from a fall.
Redirected helmet damage
Damage that a turtle helmet would take from a mace hit is redirected by the mod, so the helmet is not overpowered against maces.
Single-attack scope
Only the mace's falling attack is affected, and other weapons and attacks work as they do in vanilla.

What the author says
Don't you think the mace is just too overpowered? This simple quality of life mod makes it so that wearing a turtle helmet negates mace falling attacks by redirecting all damage to the helmet. It also works on turtles!
