Mace + Wind Charge = SMASH! ▫ Minecraft 1.21 Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.99]

[@octopusoup]

Assuming you wouldn't mind not using a shield, windcharges could be off-handed while holding a mace in the main hand. Wind charges thrown while falling can also work as an alternative to waterbuckets. Might be a possible way to end off a wind burst combo but haven't tried it out myself yet.

[@Cobalt-M1st]

They work really well!

[@AF-zw4wv]

I took some Wind Charges with me to fight the End Dragon (only my second time killing it) and found they were excellent for preventing all fall damage I would have taken when it flung me into the air. Like a much easier clutch water bucket, which I am neither skilled or brave enough to attempt, you can throw it under you before hitting the ground.

[@Finity_twenty_ten]

slow falling potions are better.

[@octopusoup]

@@Finity_twenty_ten Slow fall is the best option if you want to negate fall damage, but there are options that a slow fall potion doesn't have. Wind charges can be stacked to a much higher quantity than potions as well as having the option for ranged offense. It's not a bad alternative if slow fall isn't readily available and easier to use than water buckets if there's lag.

@Pixlriffs You've GOT TO do a combo of the caves and cliffs advancement with using the mace on a nametagged warden

[@thectyptid00]

omg that would be sooooo cool

[@emmathompson9080]

Nice overview! I didn't realise the mace was going to be that fun :D

[@crashgaming2694]

For flying it’s really good to have your chest plate in your hot bar since you can quickly switch between it to deactivate your elytra. Also wind burst works if you do a smash attack on an armor stand!

[@wyw876]

Aha, the mace drop smash = the "MLG bucket clutch" turned into actual gameplay mechanic

[@stillpumping]

if you want to do maximum damage with the mace + windcharge combo. put the windcharge in the offhand so the mace is fully charged when you attack.

[@UNKA757]

its like the old Quake Rocket Jump... and the Achievement is a reference to Quake, imo.

[@technicallyblue]

Feels like the Devs that created the wind charged played team fortress during the Quake1 era.

[@labschi]

A mace enchanted with Wind Burst... come on, guys, who else thought about the obvious choice "Mace Windu" as a name for that weapon? :D

[@sirlordepicname8692]

That's a good one

[@TheRealWormbo]

I think that density damage chart might have been incorrectly adding only a constant damage amount. The bonus amount should have been per level and block fallen, as mentioned in the calculation afterwards. There should have been an ever-growing gap between the base damage line and density damage line.

[@GreyOrb]

You are correct, the graph showed an addition of a constant rather than a rising linear function, as it should have.

[@BlondieSaidWhat]

Totally not shouting "hulk smack" as you were hitting the poor mobs, 🤣😁💚

[@skyebrown3854]

Hi pix, I believe in Java the warden has the most hearts at 250, then it’s actually the wither at 150 (somewhere in the region of 300 in bedrock), the elder dragon has 100 and the iron golem is 4th with 50 (Ravegers also have 50), just above the elder guardian at 40. Hope that was a helpful clarification 😊

[@elliotgandersen]

Mojang: Here’s the Warden, you are not supposed to fight it as it will kill you. Also Mojang next update*: Also here’s the mace, you can one shot anything now! 🙃

[@marekmarkowski437]

One thing I've learnt from @fWhip is to always have a chestplate prepared in one your slots, to be able to replace the elytra with it. It's a one click action then - just press digit and right click to take off the elytra and reinforce yourself with a brand new chestplate

[@bimmerfan2126]

after you enchant the mace, throw a book in the enchanting table, I got D-4 on the mace, then the next enchant in the table came up with D-4 on a book ;)

[@KingOskar4]

16:52 😂😂😂 my wi-fi stopped at this exact time stamp... Just take a look 😅... Man, what a rush! This is a great episode about... The Mace, including what enchantments you can put on your mace. Is jt just me 😅 or I like to use the Heavy Core for decorating, instead of the Mace?😂😂😂

[@samueltheblonde]

Great thing about minecraft, you can do what you want! How do you use the heavy core to decorate? Interested in ideas.

[@KingOskar4]

@@samueltheblonde Sooo... The heavy core, when placed, reminds me of an unlit Lantern. So I use it mainly as placed on top of a polished tuff block, place a heavy core on top, and it looks like a little Shinto Shrine candle-less Lantern 😍 ... I also used heavy cores in front of "Embassies" placed on top of Andesite Blocks, in front of the door(s). Even tho I am always Single-player and Embassies are for between villages..... Useless but Lore-enticing.

I woke up to a new survival guide episode, best morning ever!

[@Tw0Ta11]

Shortly after getting the update, I went fishing and got an enchanted book with one of the enchantments for the mace. I was confused and went down a minecraft rabbit hole, finding out a bunch of things I didn't know about yet.

[@guacamoleo25]

insomnia has brought me early to another survival guide video!!!!

[@sharkdentures3247]

Same.

[@alexgallion8112]

There is a possibility of creating a chain of mace attacks using wind charge 3 would recommend using 2 tall fences and have a 1 by 2 area so you can use a wind charge and start in the first area then back between the rest of the fences Would recommend using mobs like sheep or cows that have a big hit box my best is 7

[@aryamanray960]

Mace, yayyy! Wait I got a wind burst book before the heavy core wut 💀

[@enoiladoe]

A bit off topic, I have a trial chamber in a jungle biome with lush cave features like glow berries and vines. That combo seems to have broken the no mob spawn mechanic since I've encountered 3 creepers and a witch so far, (and its a slime chunk so lots of them as well). Bedrock is fun.

At 8:58 I caught a glimpse of a block of emerald ore…how can you just leave that! I’ve yet to find emerald ore even just once, I have plenty of emeralds from trades and whatnot, but man, I can’t find ore in the high mountains let alone in deep caves.

[@lorenzogeere1956]

A riptide trident and a mace would be a deadly combo!

[@justinhackbarth8147]

cant wait for the episode focused on smash attacking a Bat.

[@lckittyqueen]

2:47 i got a 20 emerald mending villager yesterday on a random unconverted librarian, but i didn’t realise the trades changed so when i came back with the emeralds he had become a loyalty iii or something😭😭

[@jonnyblaze2692]

When you're doing villagers for books make sure you have some paper on you so you can lock in the trade

[@lckittyqueen]

@@jonnyblaze2692 yeah🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@paulelderson934]

That's pretty sad. I've seen mending trades come up a lot for villagers, so it probably won't take too much time to get a comparable trade. Getting Smite V to show up though.....

[@JoelRipke]

New iron farm mechanic: fall onto iron golem to kill with mace, then bubble elevator back up to drop platform

[@karactr8361]

Something not mentioned that I am curious about: what effect would slow falling have when using a mace? Does it have a negative effect on damage? Does it provide more time to set up a hit? Or the second, third, fourth hit? Or would it bollox the whole thing up?

[@jonathanbates9928]

they elytra attack might be easier if you keep a chest plate in your hot bar so you can switch without opening inventory

[@Ironsight_Army]

I saw Silentwisper get the wind burst 3 book in the deep dark city from a chest. Don't know if that is a Bedrock only thing. But I was surprised to see it

[@johnmorris8621]

Pix! The central floor of your storage room is still grass and stone. How about you get Tuff with that floor. Keep up the good work

[@mrtbts]

10:00 mogswamp watching this :

[@origulator]

I bet if you keep your chestplate on the hotbar you could do a pretty cool elytra drop into smash attack really easy.

[@GeeklingNo1]

The poor wandering trader just wants to travel around with his pet llamas selling mediocre items in peace. Leave the poor guy alone 🤣

[@shenko_]

There are some Mace changes from 24w18a that destroyed its effectiveness, but in fairness it is still the most fun you can have with a weapon!

[@MythicAce218]

It still one shots most things

[@Smokeinspace49]

15+ chambers and i only got to wind burst 2 its a grind. I think it would be cool if there was a way to reuse the vaults an extra time. I like having to explore and its cool that they arent unlimited but a one time recharge would be nice.

[@CoG3in1]

really nice new mechanic

[@rictaazera]

I wonder if you can safely get the "Caves & Cliffs" achievement using the mace... now THAT would be a flex in multiplayer lol

[@georgezp7787]

I didn't know that density and breach were mutually exclusive.

[@oaksparoakspar3144]

The mace is totally overkill for normal single player worlds - though it is a way to cheese a wither, which on Bedrock could be worthwhile since you are not spawning it into bedrock to completely cheese it. In PvP, however, it shines. A 10 block drop into a crit attack is enough with either Density V or Breach IV (the top levels), to take out a player in full Protection IV Netherite armor according to the Wiki. That does mean that Density remains the best option if you are looking for one hits against difficult players. That is a lot less than what you need for an anvil drop or velocity arrow.

[@sarahsaebz7453]

I lost my old survival world so i had to start a new one and when getting librarians with top tier enchantments i got two villagers one with breach lV and density V

[@TenkoBerry]

Ah Yes, PixelSmash!!!

[@frowningfaun4528]

Try the mace with the dragon. How many hits to get to the center of the dragon.

the mace doesn’t have that charge up thing which is good cause we can’t put wind charge in our off hand

[@jacobmuench5277]

How do bane of arthropods and smite work with the mace? Do they work the same as they do on swords with a basic addition to the damage against the specified mobs or do they work like the density enchantment but better against the specified mobs?

[@meowwowgaming9685]

Dear Pixlriffs. Could you *please* fix the floor of your storage building? I've been watching nearly 100 episodes and it hasn't stopped driving me nuts. Thank you for all the great content. (-:

[@mitch85714]

I do miss the bedrock mechanic were you can inactivate the elytra mid flight. Would make elytra mace hits easier. But like others have said, i think wind charges in the off hand would be cool

[@_Abjuranax_]

Suggest naming the mace "Bonkers", lol.

[@mattsully5332]

Your Sharpness Sword does 8/oh god or 14 attack damage. On bedrock however, It does 14 attack damage…

...so you're telling me that I somehow 2:41 got the rarest thing from an ominous vault twice (if I heard correctly the diamond block is rarest and I got at least two of those) without seeing either a Wind Burst book or a Heavy Core? What even is that luck... lmao

[@fabiogius2451]

I'm thinking: is the damage of the mace constrained by world build limit? If not, I could imagine exciting attempts from even higher heights, just by removing the elytra once high enough. (Or dismounting a pig in a boat)

[@shawnholbrook7278]

ok, I have a silly question: What would happen if you fell from world height on a charged creeper at bedrock? Would it blow up a block of bedrock? I am guessing that the creeper would have to be corralled in a berry fence or a hole or something. And, you would have to have excellent aim, which I do not possess.

[@jcrim88]

The icon of the mace looks cool but the actual mace itself looks kind of silly. The head of the mace is to flat, it needs more muscle lol

[@ExplorerRedburn]

That is a cool very cool item

[@tehSunBro]

Can't you just hold a windcharge in your offhand to not worry about the chargetime from swapping to the mace? I feel lile offhanding charges and mainhanding the mace would be the way to go. I mean with some proper training you can easily avoid enemy attacks by jumping arpund with charges

[@TylerTeacher]

There are so many tools and weapons to carry, there really needs to be an update for inventory. Even if some are not in your hotbar for quick use, they are taking up space. Otherwise, we will need to make decisions on what weapons to carry with us and some just never get used because they aren’t as versatile as others. This is why I never seem to use the trident and the mace might get put in that category too, sadly.

[@silverutopia]

I agree. I never use the crossbow for the same reason.

[@ion0057]

i hear crouching before the wind charge causes a significant increase in height

[@BlookyBeat]

that used to be the case until the feature was removed in a pre-release. thankfully, the launch strength was increased to compensate for that removal.

[@gritz1701]

Will feather fall boots minimize the damage with a mace?

[@NZArchie]

Note: Breach and Density are also available via Librarian Villager trade. Unfortunately for me, while I was attempting to get Mending, I kept getting either of those two trades. Yes, a novice Librarian can potentially offer Density III and Breach IV. Last things I needed on a new server
