Mace Optimizer
by cutebow
With Mace Optimizer installed, a mace smash shows its sound and impact particles on the client without waiting for the server reply.
What it does
The mod predicts the mace smash feedback on the client when a player attacks with a mace while falling, so the smash sound and impact particles appear sooner instead of waiting for the server response. Players with higher ping are the main audience for this change.
The server still decides the real hit, damage, cooldown, fall distance, knockback and whether a smash happens. The mod does not increase mace damage, extend reach, bypass cooldowns or alter mace behavior on the server. It also reduces duplicate smash sounds when the confirmed server sound arrives after the predicted one. A server can opt out, in which case the optimizer turns itself off there.
Mace Optimizer is a Fabric mod with 16 release versions in one jar, and its 1.21.X builds are covered together. Its files are released under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
Key features
Predicted smash feedback
Smash sound and impact particles are shown on the client as soon as a falling mace attack starts.
Duplicate sound reduction
When the real server sound follows the predicted one, the second copy is suppressed so the impact stays clean.
Server opt-out
A server can disable the optimizer, and it then switches off on that server without any client setting.

How it compares
Wind Charge Optimizer is a client-side Fabric mod under All rights reserved, aimed at wind charge feedback rather than maces. Mace Damage Indicator is also client-side and covers Fabric and NeoForge, so it reaches more loaders. Mace Optimizer is limited to Fabric and is not open source.

What the author says
Makes mace smashes feel more instant and responsive on the client side. When you hit with a mace, Minecraft can sometimes feel delayed because the server has to confirm the real hit, smash, sound, and particles first.
