A Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.9+ that implements advanced mace PvP techniques, including weapon swapping, armor swapping, and automated aerial combat sequences based on competitive mace combat strategies.
Automatically swings your mace when falling to ensure you never miss the critical moment and take unnecessary fall damage.
- Automatic swing detection - Triggers when you're falling with mace equipped
- Smart targeting - Attacks nearby enemies within 4 blocks
- Fall damage prevention - Swings automatically when close to ground (within 2 blocks)
- One attack per fall - Only attacks once to prevent spam
- 50ms cooldown - Prevents accidental double attacks
The most fundamental technique in mace PvP - automatically swaps from your sword/axe to mace right before landing the hit to transfer damage and attack speed bonuses.
- Hold Netherite Axe or Netherite Sword while falling
- Mod automatically switches to Mace at the optimal moment (within 2-3 blocks of target)
- Can increase damage from 3.5 hearts to 6+ hearts
- Netherite Axe is statistically preferred for maximum damage boost
Critical technique for aerial mace combat - the mace cannot deal falling damage while gliding with elytra!
- Automatically detects when you're falling with elytra equipped
- Swaps to chestplate mid-fall to apply full accumulated fall damage
- Swaps back to elytra after landing for continued mobility
- Note: Manual left-click may be required for armor swap in some cases
- Falling (0.5+ blocks/tick): Switches to sword/axe for weapon swap technique
- Fast Falling (2.5+ blocks/tick): Direct mace switch for spam clicking
- After Landing: Automatically switches back to mobility items
- Ascending/Gliding: Ensures mobility items are ready
