Old Mace

by Tviz

Old Mace brings the mace weapon from Minecraft 1.21 into the 1.12.2 version of Forge, with its smash attack and fall-based damage.

What it does

Old Mace adds a mace item to Minecraft 1.12.2. The weapon deals more damage the higher the player falls before an attack, and a successful hit on a mob or player while falling cancels the fall damage the attacker would otherwise take. The mechanics are modeled on the mace from newer versions, and the weapon fits within the existing rules for enchantments, durability and combat.

Crafting uses a custom recipe built from iron blocks and sticks, so the weapon can be made in the early game without a new material. The mod is lightweight and is meant to sit alongside the existing vanilla gameplay rather than change it.

Old Mace is for players who prefer the 1.12.2 version but want a weapon from modern Minecraft. It runs on Forge for 1.12.2 only, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Both the client and the server need the mod installed.

Key features

  1. Smash attack

    Attacks made from a height deal more damage, with the amount rising as the fall gets longer.

  2. Fall damage cancellation

    A successful hit during a fall removes the fall damage the attacker would take from that drop.

  3. Iron block recipe

    The mace is crafted from iron blocks and sticks through a custom recipe added by the mod.

  4. Vanilla combat compatibility

    The weapon follows the existing enchantment, durability and combat rules of the 1.12.2 game.
