The mace is gonna be so funny when the dragon throws you up, and you just slam down and one shot him

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

Oh wow, I didn’t think of that. Depending on how easy it is to do (which is unlikely), they may want to fix that! Either way, I doubt patching out a cheese strategy is at the top of Mojang’s list as long as the bed method exists.

[@rabocko]

Bro you're genius😂

[@Cuestrupaster]

good luck with that one...

[@Noizzed]

Put water below the portal, tower up from the center, wait for the dragon fly to there and insta kill it. Edit: Well, you don't even need water because it negates fall damage...

[@Eo-ms3kw]

I don't think the dragon can throw you high enough for that. You need some pretty insane height.

[@jpting_]

Really excited about the mace! I do feel it needs a 3d model like the trident has, as such a large cluster of pixels looks kind of weird on a weapon. I also would love to see the heavy core get anvil-like gravity mechanics! With the mace being centered around gravity-based attacks, it'd be cool to see the core able to be used in the same way to drop onto enemies heads

[@Apple_Beshy]

Yeah it's weird looking on 2d

[@kiz__]

I’m not excited it’s such an odd weapon with odd abilities like what are the devs thinking? They added breeze rods to breeze mobs and all of a sudden had an impulse to make a new weapon with such random abilities

[@1TooManyToons]

I think it wouldn’t look vanilla with a 3D model

[@jpting_]

​@@kiz__Think about it from this angle, it's a new weapon that adds an entirely new combat style. Minecraft has never really had many 'class' options regarding combat. Outside of Swords and Axes, the only differing combat styles would be Bows, Potions, Pets, or I guess End Crystals? There's not too much variation. The mace can be paired with jump boost potions and wind charges to deal a lot of damage while also engaging in a unique fighting style, I think it'll be really entertaining to see mace 1v1s on PvP servers. I will admit it feels a little underdeveloped, and I think it could use some exclusive enchantments like what the crossbow got. But I do feel like this could be a good new addition if fleshed out

[@jpting_]

@@1TooManyToonsand I feel like it looks modded with the 2D texture xD It reminds me a lot of something I'd see in Tinkers Construct or something. Though, at the end of the day, whichever one we end up with will eventually feel vanilla. Just like with all the concretes and terracottas

[@notrelevant5582]

Riptide + Elytra + Rain + Mace is gonna be so much fun

[@tdstealthninja]

The mace removing fall damage upon hitting a mob makes me immediately think of the assassination achievement in Halo, which will most likely become a map design if this sticks around

[@tdstealthninja]

The synergy with the wind charge reminds me of rocket jumping and market gardening in TF2

[@mrjack3855]

If they came to hear me beg

[@CommissarChaotic]

Say did they really remove that achievement from MCC? At least I did get my mister chief helmet...

[@Haydyne]

It will stick around, it’s meant to be a combo weapon with a Wind Charge launch

[@KingsBard]

...Minecraft Grifball...

[@Erynash]

The mace needs to be 3D. Tridents have a models, so should maces, especially when the heavy core is a cube. This does however make it more likely Mojang will add more unique weapons in the future and I'm here for it!

[@noholla]

i have a feeling it's temporary, seems weird they'd add a 3d model for the core and have the weapon be a sprite

A 3d model may take up too much screen space, unless they do it well.

​@@Ethan13371 I dont think it would be quite and issue, itd probably only take up as much space as a block

[@curiouscreator8806]

I feel like they'd do it for Bedrock, but not Java.

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

This feels like the air version of the trident. Would be cool to see a blaze/breeze equivalent mob that drops the ingredient for a trident, and unique enchantments for the mace.

[@IronDino]

The fact that you can't craft a trident is a tragedy. Maybe they could introduce an aquatic version of the Breeze that creates whirlpools that drag the player down (they could only spawn in deep ocean biomes and drop 'Benthic Rods').

[@cheesymeatball174]

if they did this, then there's also a chance of blaze getting a fire weapon

[@Hamza2_7272]

@@cheesymeatball174 that'd be awesome for PVE but for pvp i'm not sure if it'd make a huge difference considering fire resistence is a thing

[@krihs7983]

Trident + Mace is a god combo by the way. If it’s raining, launching yourself in the air with a Riptide III Trident and striking down at mobs with the Mace is extremely OP and fun. You can 3 shot the warden without needing to build up 143 blocks.

First we had Hot Guy. Soon: Scor

[@daridon2483]

So the mace works with momentum or only fall height? Because if it's the former, you could just propel yourself with a rocket and then one shot stuff with the mace

[@rayquarizard2911]

Tbf if you manage to land a hit while using an elytra you deserve the high damage

[@bowiemtl]

Agreed, I think they could still be working on it though

[@DoenSnikduj]

Agreed!

[@CoolJosh3k]

This reminds me a lot of the Market Gardener weapon in Team Fortress 2. You have to be launched by an explosive, then hit an opponent at just the right time to deal massive damage.

[@niravrabaral3518]

Just like tridents the mace will also end up as a gimmick which very few people actually uses but another cool weapon for us completionists is always appreciated

[@byeMaurice]

yes i dont see anyone replacing their sword or a use up a hotbar slot

[@unfamousinfamous]

I am more concerned that they added two new resources that will be useless outside of one craft, again

[@GoTouchSomeGrassBro]

​​@@byeMauriceAlot. Mace is way better than sword. It won't be gimmick weapon.

[@binkhowell8242]

You can divebomb one hit a player with no resistance, so it is kinda good, just that anvils fucking suck with repairing items.

[@SemiHypercube]

I definitely feel like the mace not being enchantable is more of it just being unfinished, rather than a balancing thing. (like they even let you put Mending on a carrot on a stick) I do hope they add unique enchantments for it, and maybe make it a little easier to get (I don't want this to be another trident scenario where it feels too hard to get to be used as a viable weapon)

[@shmovinnn]

balancing is definitely an afterthought here at the moment yeah, the damage from the mace is completely uncapped at the moment lol

[@SemiHypercube]

@@shmovinnn actually I think they should keep the uncapped damage, I think it's funny that you can just one hit kill the dragon if you fall from high enough

[@thetele8646]

Tridents are easy to get in bedrock so they are viable on bedrock, java is another story. You have to either make a farm or look for underground ruins.

[@anonymgamer3416]

Yeah I hope this is not the final form. The concept is nice, but not beeing able to enchant it and put Mending or other enchantments on it would be a bummer and I would straight up not use it as much if at all. I'm not going to repair it every few hits if i jump really high with just 200 or so durapoints. Also with Mending it could potentially be really nice for new farm designs. Without mending, it would not be viable at all

[@aetheriox463]

@@anonymgamer3416 they could keep it unenchantable but then fix anvils so that they dont progressively use more materials to repair, i like that its unenchantable but it needs a way to repair that doesnt get to the point where you cant repair it

Personally, I would've allowed the mace to "charge up" an attack to bonk with extra force. You could also make it a useful tool if the charged-up swing broke (most) blocks in a single strike. Sledgehammers WERE often used while mining, after all!

[@joshuawalkermusician]

The mace is going to be so much fun. And I'm glad that they're making it so that you can only get 1 unstackable item in the trial chambers. Ps, those new banners and pottery shards are so cool! Oh, the beacon particle tweak is clever, too.

I tested a few things for you! Warden has 500 health points and if you drop from a height of 143 blocks in the air and successfully hit it you can one shot the Warden! Same logic works for the Wither! Drop from a height of 86 blocks in the air and you can one shot the Wither! I tried the ender dragon as well but I couldn't make it work.

[@Yorick257]

[@theukon-dos7271]

⁠@@iDrinkRaid_no they mean like placing the block itself cause otherwise it could just be an item

Its called a heavy core, so I assume that the copper civilization either used it because it was heavy,making an object with gravity, or, they used it for Redstone, as it makes you think of nuclear cores, especially with the copper feel of the trial chambers, or to do magic like whatever was in the ancient city, because in those days magic was common

I think this snapshot is giving that moment for me. Before, the trial chambers kind of felt like a pointless addition that just added a "minigame" to Minecraft, but these recent changes are so, so cool. I love how they're fitting it all together with previous features and the mace is such a cool concept (if a little overpowered for now). I do also love how the breeze rods mirror the blaze and I look forwards to any more features the heavy core might get.

Loving this update so far!

omg ur right

[@EVILBUNNY28]

What would take the Mace to the next level would be if you could right-click with it to shoot a wind charge projectile (it would consume one from your inventory like a bow consumes an arrow) That way you can do some awesome combo attack by launching yourself in the air to slam dunk on a mob/player

[@elio6361]

You can already do that by putting the wind charge in your off hand though

[@bbittercoffee]

As the other guy said, you can just do this with the off hand But I appreciate the thought for those unlucky of us that can only play bedrock :)

[@MinecraftWorld1954]

I have NEEDED this kind of weapon in Minecraft for so long.

[@MrA6060]

I think when just normally jumping it is just the crit multiplier rather than the mace property, doing it with a sword with 7 damage will deal the same amount when critting with the mace.

[@samurexatlas7373]

I kinda hope the Heavy Core is added to Trial Spawners, or has a low chance to spawn in mob hands. That way the Mace is renewable and has a higher chance. Because Vaults are still one shots, we don't need a player mobbed by the server to steal their Mace.

[@grandmoffjake6871]

Xiuma showed you can get it from using a key on the spawner thing. Those loot tables are separate for each player right? So no scarcity problem for the server.

[@samurexatlas7373]

@@grandmoffjake6871 Vaults are one use per vault per player. It's entirely chance to get a Heavy Core, so if a few players are lucky in a server they could be hunted.

[@mjm3091]

Or you can just use some other lootboxes. Trial Chambers probably won't be the hardest thing to find and finish. Especially if you have enough resources to hunt other players - you probably have enough resources to just make one extra Vault.

The mace is so cool, a great addition, and it seems so useful in some cases as to how much excess DMG you can do, (looking forward to maybe more about it)

[@LeoIsBehindYou]

ive experimented a bit and with VERY good timing you can 3hit an irongolem with ONLY 3 wind charges and a mace

[@evanchilson9829]

Hey X, I just wanna thank you again for making these snapshot videos, especially near the start of this new hermitcraft season. Other channels cover the snapshot, but either fail to be as thorough or move on from interesting moments to quickly for the sake of pumping out a short video. I really appreciate your research and efficiency of explaining the new updates in an entertaining way!

I like your profile pic

[@Sock-Monster-Simian]

Wow. The mace is pretty rad. Collecting wind charges and other mob materials make the trial chambers actually continuously useful. Very interesting. I'm loving all of the small details that Mojang has been adding.

[@HelloX475]

Rekrap is gonna love this, with even more armor trims

[@AjaxXavior]

The Mace is so cool glad we’ve got a new weapon we haven’t had one since 1.14s crossbow

[@Roaxial]

I did some testing of my own, and when combining the mace with a well-timed wind charge along with jump-boost 2, you can deal enough damage (72) to one-shot a player wearing full prot 4 netherite

[@minestar2247]

Ok, thats quite op to be honest, do you think there would be a counter move or something like that?

The last couple of snapshots are really great, love the new mace

[@SimplyAlice21]

Thank you for always bringing us the freshest news, X ❤

[@backpacking_trombonist]

I suspect we'll end up with a couple new enchantments in the coming snapshots related to the Mace. That would provide yet another opportunity for unique loot in the trial chambers.

[@Nephelangelo]

You should be able to hit the ground with the Mace and create an impact radius which knocks back all nearby mobs and entities.

[@rajashreeghosh964]

It does that, but nerfed version, meaning to hit an entity to get the shockwave

[@Nephelangelo]

I wouldn’t call that nerfed, since you’re simultaneously inflicting quite a lot of damage to a particular mob while inducing Knockback, it’s actually a more powerful action. I think separating it into a different action with different result would make it a more interesting and dynamic weapon. So I’d reduce the Knockback of a direct hit, and increase the Knockback of a charged ground slam.@@rajashreeghosh964

[@omerahmed4066]

i think the mace needs a texture tweak. it just looks odd IMO. maybe making it a 3d model like the trident would work . also, this update is building up to be so awesome! tbh I was kinda underwhelmed when they announced it, but after all the stuff they've added since, I'm super hyped for it.

[@miraclePoints]

I agree with making it 3d. As is, it looks too much like an axe

[@detto1998]

FINALLY SOMEONE. It's ugly as hell.

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

I’m quite enjoying how things are shaping up here as well. Mojang certainly has gotten better at delivering the updates with more than what we expected, however I feel like that’s only half the package. I feel that they should announce a bit more initially, because right now Minecraft Live is a whole lot of nothing. Add it to the fact that it’s always announced shortly after the mob vote results, everyone is pretty riled up anyways, making a much tougher crowd.

[@helmenhjelmen1955]

I think the simple shape of the triedent works very well and has to be 3D when thrown. But i find 3D weapons in mods for the most part very goofy looking. So i hope they dont go too far with the mace. Im gonna be honest i was happy with this update as soon as i got my hands on autocrafting and copper bulbs. I even liked the changes they gave to the copper bulbs as then the builds i tried to make with them actually functioned the way i wanted them too.

[@omerahmed4066]

@@helmenhjelmen1955 PheonixSC actually uploaded a video where he made a custom 3d model for the mace, and it definitely looks odd there. maybe it could work with a few adjustments, but I think mojang actually made the right call now

[@MythsAreTooGood]

I'm gonna have to try out that mace. It'll be soo cool in end cities!

[@surferguy45]

Awesome. Another really cool tool I’m gonna wanna carry in my hotbar and ever so surely want a better inventory system.

[@HeartGamer26]

I'm excited to see fun ways people will come up with to cause the most damage with the mace and I'm sure there will be some fun games coming from this. Also getting new banners, trims, and sherds in the trial chambers makes complete sense

[@YonatanPetrover]

When the full version comes out, can you make a video about all the updates in it?

[@DarchrowTheEnigma]

Trident with Riptide + Mace dive into an Enderman cluster must feel so satisfying (without mob sounds ofc)

[@politos73]

More banner patterns? Perfect, love it already
