Maceify
by DeltaSegundo
Maceify brings the Mace weapon and its smash-attack mechanics to Fabric on Minecraft 1.20.4 and later, for players who want the 1.21 weapon in an older world.
What it does
The Mace deals 6 attack damage at 0.6 attack speed, with the same stats as the vanilla 1.21 Mace, and has 500 durability that blaze rods can repair at an anvil. A new Found Combat tab in the creative inventory holds the items. Bonus damage grows with fall distance: a smash adds 4 damage for each of the first 3 blocks fallen, 2 for each of the next 5, and 1 for each block after that. A successful smash fully negates fall damage, enemies near the impact are knocked away, and impact particles and sound play on the hit.
The mod supplies its three mace enchantments, which come from the 1.21 release, and players can get them at an enchanting table, on an anvil, or through commands. Wind Burst launches the player back into the air, and chain smash lets a player smash again after a successful landing without touching the ground. Punches through armor reduces the target's armor effectiveness by 15% per level. Heavy Core does not exist in 1.20.4, so Maceify uses a simple custom recipe for the Mace instead.
Maceify is a Fabric-only mod, and Fabric API is required. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, and the latest is 1.0.0 for 1.20.6, released 2026-06-12 under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Mace weapon
The weapon deals 6 attack damage at 0.6 attack speed, the same numbers as the 1.21 vanilla mace, and lasts 500 uses.
Fall-scaled smash damage
Bonus damage rises with the height of the drop, so a higher fall produces a harder hit on the target.
Impact effects
Enemies near the landing point are knocked away, and particles and a sound mark the smash.
Three mace enchantments
Wind Burst, chain smash and armor-piercing enchantments are included, with levels up to 5.
