Universal Smash
Universal Smash lets melee weapons deal extra damage when a player strikes a mob while falling, in the style of the Mace.
What it does
The mod brings the falling smash attack of the Mace to melee weapons in general, including weapons added by other mods. A hit that lands after a fall of sufficient height deals bonus damage that grows with the fall distance. Built for Minecraft 1.21.1 on Fabric, it is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it. Server owners can set the minimum fall distance, toggle smash particles and sounds, cancel fall damage after a successful smash, and use an item whitelist or blacklist to choose which weapons qualify.

A smash lands extra damage scaled by the distance fallen before the strike.

Configurable smash rules
The minimum fall distance, smash effects and fall-damage cancellation can be adjusted.

What the author says
Universal Smash brings Minecraft's Mace-style falling smash attack to all melee weapons, including weapons added by other mods. Fall from a sufficient height and strike an entity before landing to deal additional damage based on your fall distance.
