How Fast Can You Get The Mace?

I wanted to know how long it takes the average player to get the mace (new 1.21 Minecraft feature). Cause it is an end game weapon.
Thanks for watching :)

@@alex6027 not really no? its not really like you need alot of knowledge of the game to know how to get a mace, only luck would be a real big factor, and even then you can just cheat your way through it via outside tools or commands, and on skill, fighting mobs shouldnt be too hard with things like bed respawn points, shields, armor, keep inventory, saturation, and so on in the game, and its not like their AI is that complex either, so you can just exploit that too, even more so if you dont need to deal with a timer that much

[@fleggy5050]

Minecraft doesnt really have that much progression. Your first set of armor ur most likely to get is the 3rd best and before netherite was literally the 2nd best one. You use wood for like 2 seconds to get stone tools, those for a little more before u get iron and ur almost at the best gear possible. Minecrafts progression is a little lacking. Like its not a massively big deal but there is totally a lot of depth that could be added. Im not even mentioning that there are like 2 bosses. It feels like the devs wanted to add way more but sorta forgot or went to develop other things instead. Then again with the recent april fools update being kind of a list of things the devs wanna work on but for whatever reason cant and there being a boss kinda shows they are aware of it, so I hope there will eventually be an update that will make the game feel a bit more cohesive and maybe flesh out the progression more. Cuz right now its just get iron in like 30 minutes, get diamonds in 2 hours max and beat the game in like 3 on a casual playthrough. Just look at RT Game's recent playthrough, he beat the game in the first episode lmao.

[@stephenkrahling1634]

@@fleggy5050 Yeah considering how many systems and structures there are that reward the player with "gear" the game both emphasizes that getting max gear is your reward for doing things and yet getting 90% of the way to that point is incredibly easy... Making all these systems feel ultimately worthless for 90% of the time you're playing.... It's legit harder to move up the ore tech tree in terraria pre hard mode, and that's not even 2% of the game Minecraft is a game of many interesting problems with uninteresting solutions, and even less interesting rewards for solving said problems... Honestly this is what makes the create mod so special, it completes the other half of the sandbox by giving the player cool and unique ways to find their own solutions, and unlike other mods it makes those solutions even come with their own challenges and problems for the player to solve and work around. You want to make a farm for renewable granite?

Saying "An area of 262,000 blocks" is very misleading. That number doesn't mean anything to anyone except it is big. Only one village generates in an area of 295,000 blocks but obviously people know that villages aren't that rare. Nice video though, I also agree with your point, but I feel like a lot of things in Minecraft are too easy to get, and that the issues just stem from the progression in general.

Amazing video, update looks amazing. I feel like the trial chamber should have an entrance starting on surface, like a sprial challenge type dungeon. Mining fatigue should probably accompany this to make it truly an endgame structure, as you can box up and get away pretty easily while carrying low tier armor

[@niesn]

An Entrance would be so cool, but idk about mining fatigue. They would've to implement it better than it is in monuments. Maybe so it only lasts for a few seconds after you leave the trial chambers and it's weaker than the mining fatigue we currently have.

[@Hutch2Much]

something about the mace is that it’s not just tedious to get, but also incredibly situational. how often are you getting the jump on something from 3+ blocks above them, and how accurate is your hit gonna be on a moving target?

[@niesn]

yeah that's very true

[@stagnant-name5851]

Enchantments and wind charges makes it a weapon so powerful that only crystal pvp can match up to it. Watch some mace pvp videos, you can hit a target actively running away full speed and combo them. Doing enough damage to instantly kill someone with full prot 4 nephrite armor easily.

[@brunogoldbergferro5664]

wind charges:

[@egg1267-dj4qq]

I feel like mace would ruin the use of swords and axes completely. Although there are some counters to the mace such as shields, shields are very easy to break and its easy to get hit with your back turned on them. Plus, if you have the enchantment, the mace will just keep jumping and hitting you until your shield breaks. A good method to escape this is probably pearling away but you can only have 16 of them in a stack. Imagine a fight where its just ppl pearling over and over again. If it runs out, then its really bad. This really encourages the use of mace over axe and sword which basically makes the mace the meta. I know there is a use of axe to disable shields with but the axe just serves that one purpose. What if the mace doesn't do more damage than a sword unless you jump from high enough to give a purpose to the sword. What if there's a direct counter to maces unlike pearls. I thought of breeze balls having a second feature that can be used to dodge in the horizontontal(to not make it too op) direction you are looking, such as a jett dash. I think this would be more reliable than pearls since you don't take damage and also have more stackability during a fight. It also activates instantly so you don't need more reaction time to use it unlike pearls. This would counter the mace completely and make the players resort to swords and shields if they wanna do damage. I wouldn't want a new weapon to be countered completely but this would be helpful when the enemy is eating, not moving, or just caught of guard. The weapon is op and I think it would def have a use with these changes. Thats just my idea.

[@niesn]

Holy. Honestly, these are all really good ideas. But I don't think the devs are gonna change anything. And also, I think ppl will come up with some good counters over time. We'll see

[@dr_hex9258]

🤓☝

[@iulic9833]

Dude there's a counter that makes the mace close to useless in the endgame. It's called end crystals. There's an entire community centered around cpvp. End crystals absolutely obliterate players if they stand above them, and since the mace's entire thing is jumping to deal damage, it would suck.

I like how Enchanted Golden Apple was made less rare because of it. But honestly, the Mace isn’t that good. It’s novelty. It’s like a trident… you might need it for some uses. But it’s nowhere near as important to put it into a rare reward tier of a more difficult Trial Chamber tier which is in itself finicky to trigger.

[@lolz3895]

Not really. Mace is very good. Mace is different to trident and is more important than sword and axe. You just have some massive skill issues.

[@terrariaskeletonpre1.0.39]

considering it took you about three hours to get the mace with the sole intent and dedication of working towards it, i think this is less about where it lies in "the progression" of a sandbox game and more that you need to put in work to get a powerful weapon. a lot of people seem to view the progression in minecraft as overworld>nether>end which, while it makes sense as a passive observation, if you delve into minecraft's game design it's never that simple. Goals are player driven and need to be weighed out for several factors, how easy the goal is, how rewarding the outcome is, what obstacles need to be overcome, to name a few

[@niesn]

yeah I agree, but making it a bit harder (like having to kill a wither to make beacons) might be good idea

[@zarrg5611]

​@@niesn I think it should be tied to the monuments instead, that way you have powerful items tied to the Overworld (Mace) Nether (Beacon) and End (Elytra).

[@schnek8927]

This has nothing to do with progression. It's inherently unbalanced in it's current state, which rarity or progression has no effect on. With that being said, this was extremely unoptimized and could be cut down to half an hour or so by any dedicated player. Probably even less. Find village, level map maker, go to structure (this might take the longest), get potion from vault, get core from vault with potion effect. Bring a bed to respawn wherever.

[@terrariaskeletonpre1.0.39]

@@schnek8927 try the mace yourself, it is not as easy as clicking an enemy to kill it, you actually have to be skillful with the mace, rather than just watching people's twitter clips in which they show the 1 successful attempt after countless failures it's powerful, so long as you actually know how to wield it properly, which seems pretty balanced to me

That's very strong, but still less than the damage of an end crystal.

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

@@bytezero3818 The density enchantment DOES in fact change that, since the setup (which barely requires any) MASSIVELY reduces the amount of block you need to use and fall from-- which also massively reduces the risk. And this doesn't change the fact that being able to 1-hit a Boss is just bad game design by itself, especially considering this item isn't even that much harder to get compared to other rare items like Beacons (from Wither Skulls). Remember; Ender Dragons and Withers aren't even updated yet which they 100% plan to do, so that excuse isn't even gonna hold up in the long run. Think more outside the box because Maces literally limits the variation of mobs and bosses they can add in the future if they ever want to add something actually challenging, by forcing them to only have 1 movement type as to not be a trivial mob to take down because of the Mace If you ACTUALLY played with anyone with a Mace before, this one is just straight up not true. You only need to drop from 2-3Blocks (a common elevation) to 1 hit kill a fully-geared player with Strength II, if there's no elevation; you can always use Wind Charge to go up 2-3 Blocks which aren't as easy to "simply move away" from. Even without Strength II, it's completely possible to nearly 1-hit a Player from just 7 Blocks with Wind Charges even if they are moving, it's not as hard as people here are claiming considering you yourself can move mid-air and you still have 3 blocks of range Not only that; the fact that it makes Netherite Swords and Axes completely obsolete is again-- bad game design, because even with End Crystals; both Swords and Axes still have use cases in PvP, now there's no reason to use them at all (Not to mention; End Crystals are completely impractical in PvE) Either way, just because there's already an awfully balanced weapon that exists doesn't mean there should be another one. Also, they already have combat experiments that are actually well balanced solving the DPS issue we have now, using "people don't just can keep eating golden apples to offset the damage" is simply a lazy excuse for a badly balanced weapon and will not hold up inevitably, so they might as well balance it now so there's not gonna be a bigger backlash in the future. I brought up the future a lot here, this is because Minecraft is a long-term game and decisions that works out in the long run are much better than short-sighted features that are only good at the moment, otherwise; you get broken features like Anvils, 1.9 combat, etc.

[@dominocrownbromark1982]

before the mace was revealed, I had a feeling they were gonna add a new weapon

[@shady8045]

honestly most "late game" things in Minecraft can be cheesed hard, this is one of the less egregious examples imo (like... its still harder than what you would have to do to beat the game in 20 minutes). I don't think most of the player base will be doing this willy nilly.

[@niesn]

that's true

[@kaden-sd6vb]

You probably couldve found a chamber more easily without third-party shenanigans via piston-composter x-ray glitching in various spots till you catch sight of one That trick does still work, right?

[@TankieBoi]

The item is too strong for Minecraft period, I don't care how hard it is to get. Think End Crystals, annoying and hard as hell to get, but out of place in a fair pvp setting for how utterly broken they are

[@niesn]

It is really strong, but there are multiple ways to counter it. You can use shields or just move out of the way if you can. Then again, it can one shoot players from a 2 block fall or sth. I guess we'll see once 1.21 comes out

[@turkey4802]

From an infinite height it’s probably not that hard to dodge

[@TankieBoi]

@@turkey4802 Do we really need to start playing Minecraft multiplayer like it's a third world country and constantly be watching for the equivalent of insta-killing drone strikes? Everything can be "countered" in some capacity, but that doesn't mean it's balanced

[@iulic9833]

End crystals are way more powerful, and are way easier to get (it's just an eye of ender and a ghast tear) than the mace so I'm not sure what the point is.

[@TankieBoi]

@@iulic9833 I mean, if they're not even considered hard to get then end crystals are even worse than I thought balance-wise

To make it more difficult to obtain, add to the recipe: 1 Netherite block 1 Conduit 1 Totem 1 End crystal 1 Amethyst shard 1 Music disc 5

Mojang should make it a post Ender Dragon item just like the Shulker Boxes and Elytra, where it you will only get the Heavy Core at the Trail Chamber if you already defeat the Ender Dragon.

[@sockhead]

Love the use of Skylanders music ❤

[@justv7536]

The Mace being easy to get isn't the issue, it's a problem Minecraft suffers from in general where it lacks any real 'game' to it. if you really want to, you can beat the boss with your bare hands, unarmoured, as long as you're willing to sleep with it (me fr). Adding progression locked behind certain things, instead of just making shit obscenely rare (why is it 1 in 14,000 for a blue Axolotl), would be the ideal way of making a real 'end game'. See games like Terraria for how to make a game as apposed to a sandbox.

[@niesn]

yeah kinda, it's difficult to do sth like that in mc tho. But just adding one item from the end to the crafting recipe for the mace might work

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

Blue Axolotls are there for novelty and fun exclusively, their entire point is to be rare just like the Pink Sheep, why mention it as if it's part of the game's progression lol

[@justv7536]

@@user-tzzglsstle585e38 You missed the entire point of what I was saying. Everything's a novelty. The fact that going to an external website to find a lukewarm ocean 19 6487109 blocks away so that I can receive Neptunes left ball for the ability to grow sea grass 2 the sequel is stupid. I already said the progression sucks. It's just, get beds, go to nether, kill endgame boss. I'm talking about adding in reasonable progression and you, in your single mindedness, focused on one minute detail of my overall point.

[@justv7536]

@@niesn I mean no really, Modders have been doing it for years. What's stopping them from coding in anything? Mobvotes? Community backlash? Twitter/X? If people want change they'll ask for it, I'm a staunch believer that Minecraft, as a game, is at best a 3/10. I would even put it as a 2/10. I often do. but it's a 9/10 Sandbox easily. So when people complain about the gameplay elements or progression, and call it a game, I judge it based off how I feel about it as a game. It's like how Garry's mod is technically a game, yeah. It's not a good one. But it's definitely a sandbox, and one of the best. These things don't have to be different, they can be the same thing, but a Sandbox where I can only hold 39 items is a bad Sandbox (seriously what the FUCK do I gotta do to get some good storage around here) and don't say "go get shulkers" cause by then, I've beaten the fucking game. There's nothing left. There are only sandbox activities, not even side quests. Not even sub objectives. Merely little titbits of gameplay that take hours to do legitimately, or maybe five minutes if you've got elytra and an internet connection. That's not really what I'd called good gameplay. I wouldn't even call it gameplay. I'd call it poor game design. Creative is where Minecraft shines, every SMP you aren't earning money on dies after the first week when people move back to Stardew Valley, CS, Tarkov and other games that have more clearly defined directions. I'm not saying I want Minecraft to not be a Sandbox, I'm just saying I think of Minecraft as a game first and a sandbox second. And, at least for me, in my completely selfish, subjective opinion, I want gameplay first, sandbox second.

[@DodgeThatAttack]

cant believe mojang saw all the problems with villagers and went "lets just make people rely on them even more"

[@GeoSage1137]

Though its hard to get, the fact that you can get diamonds, notch apples, and other great loot while grinding for the mace makes it a much more realistic weapon. Now if you want great loot, you can rush the end, or one of these things

[@niesn]

good point

[@KNKNHT]

I feel like bad omen is just a placeholder, I feel like an ominous potion, similar to how it's gotten using the ominous potion, would be a more permanent feature

[@Catishcat]

There are a lot of people who don't even kill the Ender Dragon. Our perspective is heavily skewed by the expectation that we're gonna be playing the same world for a very long time, using the best tools available to us. "Endgame" is different for different people, to me elytras and rocket farms are literally just the beginning. I really doubt most people will be getting the mace, it's a deliberate and rewarded effort.

[@niesn]

true, I agree

[@Americanbadashh]

This IS NOT an endgame weapon. It only gets OP once you get to the end game, but even then it's a skill based risk/reward weapon; until then though it's just a fun option like tridents or fireworks.

[@niesn]

I don't know, we'll see once the update comes out

[@bruvance]

i think whats more concerning is you could get diamond and notch apples from killing a few skelebones

[@Jaivlogsandgameswithhimself]

[@gxhhhdhdhd9067]

you can skip the villager trading part by using the pie chart, I found one in 10 min with no other structures nearby. Ominous bottles can also be dropped from trial spawners and vaults.

[@niesn]

Oh, right

[@takujaba6746]

The problem is, the mace TECHNICALLY is an end game weapon, but due to Minecraft's sandbox nature, the progression is all over the place.

[@user-tzzglsstle585e38]

Not just this, Trial Chambers as a structure are made *intentionally* to be a mid-game structure, adding another common effect (Bad Omen) doesn't make Ominous Trial Chambers more on the farther side of the progression, the only late-game thing about Maces is how powerful it is-- trivializing every enemy in this game.

[@Greeneon6073]

They should add a magic enchant on armor that makes it so when someone holds a mace near the armor the mace flies away like a throwing trident

[@niesn]

uh I think that might be to much actually

[@iothedango]

God I’m so glad that a trial chamber spawned in the cave near my base,, I had no clue they were so rare 😭

[@niesn]

well, 262k blocks sounds insane, I should've put it differently. 262k blocks area = 511x511 blocks area

[@sinaelb2596]

Listen I just started playing minecraft again for the first time in over 10 years. I have been building and debugging a 20 minute iron farm for 2 days now. I get scared when I enter caves and basically every time when I encounter more than one evil mob. No way would I survive those battles so easily. XD From a noob's perspective you are severely underestimating your fighting abilities.

[@niesn]

Honestly I kinda miss getting scared of mobs lmao. And thanks

[@genericgoat]

I think the mace would be cooler if you had to assemble a bunch of parts from different areas. Like using an end rod for the handle, and using some combination of a nether star, something dropped by and elder guardian, something dropped by a warden, and then finally assembling it using something you can only get in a trial chamber.

[@niesn]

yeah right, that would be so cool

[@-Robert]

So are the vaults like a chest, once looted, you can't use them anymore? Or are they an infinite item generating lootbox and to access it you can just farm keys?

[@niesn]

you can only use them once (per player)

[@-Robert]

@@niesn Interesting. Maybe that could get reworked by having the chance for a really rare key to drop when the player killed all monsters, and the key can access a vault previously opened. Thanks for the answer and it was a good experiment!

I _don't_ think its too easy to get... Because its based entirely on RNG. Making it rarer would exponentially make it worse and worse to get, because already it can take ages to find one if your luck is bad enough.

[@YamamotoOne]

Hi, I’m new to Minecraft and would like to know how you’re playing In the next update. Thank you!

[@niesn]

Sure, just open the launcher, go to the installations tab and check the "snapshots" box. Then you should get a new installation with a name like "snapshot 23w44a" (that's for java). For the other version of minecraft, bedrock edition, just create a new world and activate "experimental features"

[@somerandomguy3768]

the takeaway is while you can get the mace as soon as you spawn in and it would take you a while do consider the fact that in that amount of time you probably could have beaten the game thrice over with end cities looted

[@niesn]

basically yes
