Shockwave Enchantment
by Kristy
Shockwave Enchantment adds a treasure enchantment that turns a successful hit into an area attack, dealing damage and slowing nearby entities.
What it does
A Shockwave hit needs a fall distance requirement that drops as the enchantment level rises. When the conditions are met, the player damages entities within 3 blocks and the damage range increases with level. A hit on a block entity can also trigger it as a side effect. After a successful Shockwave hit, the player receives Slowness 2 and Mining Fatigue III for a cooldown of 20 ticks, which runs alongside the hunger cost tied to the enchantment level.
The enchantment is part of the Minecraft Tweaks collection and serves as an area-of-effect alternative to the mace. Level three adds only 3 damage to prevent one-tapping players, and the attack requires less fall distance than a normal mace hit. The mod is server-side and requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.11, and the code is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Key features
Area damage on hit
A successful Shockwave hit damages entities within a short radius, with the range growing at higher levels.
Slowness and cooldown
The wielder is slowed and mined less quickly after a hit, then the cooldown shortens as the enchantment level rises.
Indicator sound
A high-pitched anvil ping signals when the Shockwave is ready to use again.
Treasure enchantment
Shockwave appears in random chests and fishing loot, with at least one book in each Pillager Outpost and a 45% chance of a second, and it can be traded.
