With the release of update 1.21, Minecraft server hosting combat mechanics have undergone significant changes, with the mace standing out as a powerful new weapon. It delivers devastating blows, especially when used from above. But what exactly does the "Density" enchantment do, and how does it compare to other upgrades? Let's dive in!
The "Density" enchantment increases the damage dealt when attacking with a mace from a height. The more blocks a player falls before striking, the stronger the hit. Specifically, each level of this enchantment adds 0.5 extra damage per fallen block. In gameplay terms, every two levels of Density add a full heart of damage.
In terms of raw power, "Density" surpasses "Breach." However, its effectiveness depends on playstyle: without frequent use of wind charges or the "Wind Burst" enchantment, its advantage is less noticeable. If you don’t plan to attack from above, "Breach" will likely be a more useful choice.
Mace Stats and Damage
Without any potions or modifications, the mace has an attack speed of 0.6 and deals six damage on a fully charged hit, equal to three hearts. If the player falls more than 1.5 blocks before striking, additional damage is applied: four extra damage for the first three blocks, two for the next five blocks, and one additional damage for each block beyond that.
Mace vs. Sword
A Netherite sword has an attack speed of 1.6 and deals eight damage per fully charged hit. Additionally, it can strike multiple targets at once, making it effective in group fights.
When choosing between a mace and a sword, the decision depends on the situation. In confined spaces like caves or narrow Trial Chamber hallways, a sword is often the better choice, especially against unarmored enemies. However, if you can consistently attack from above, the mace becomes a powerful tool for dealing high single-target damage.

Game Content Writer
I’m Mr.Brauwn, and I’ve been part of the Minecraft world for over 10 years. Like many others, I started playing with friends in the early versions, but soon I discovered that servers had enormous potential to create unique experiences. Servers and Projects Over time, I specialized in creating custom servers, developing private projects, events, and collaborations with content creators. Configuring plugins, designing systems, and shaping communities quickly became an essential part of my daily life. The Leap into Content Creation After so many years working on servers, I realized I could also share all that knowledge and those experiences visually. That’s how I started streaming on Twitch, showcasing my own servers and playing on them with the community. From Twitch to YouTube Later on, I understood that this content shouldn’t only remain in livestreams. I decided to launch my YouTube channel, where I share curiosities, tutorials, plugin reviews, updates, and technical aspects of Minecraft. It’s a space for other players and creators to discover the same potential I once found in this game. What Minecraft Means to Me For me, Minecraft is more than just a game. It’s a part of my daily life: recording, editing, testing mods, configuring plugins, building, and sharing with my community. After more than a decade, my goal remains the same: to create, inspire, and enjoy this infinite world alongside everyone who joins me on the adventure.
