Best Minecraft Mace enchantments

Mace to the face!

Getting the right enchantments in Minecraft can take your favorite tool or weapon from great to incredible, severely improving its performance. Enchanting a pickaxe, for example, can make mining much faster and provide several minerals for mining just one block. Quickly, four Diamond ore can turn into 12 Diamonds.

The best enchantments for the Mace in Minecraft

The best enchantments for the Mace are going to be Density, Wind Burst, Mending, and Unbreaking. Density provides additional damage per fallen block, and since that’s the purpose of the Mace anyway, your one-shot potential goes way up. Wind Burst creates a Wind Burst when hitting an enemy, and sends you upward. This sort of follow-up attack enables you to finish off anything that may have survived that initial attack. Finally, Mending and Unbreaking allow the Mace to be sustained indefinitely meaning you won’t need to get another one any time soon.

It’s important to note that there’s one other enchantment that’s incredible for PvP players, that being Breach. This reduces how effective that target’s armor is, meaning you can make Protection IV Netherite armor have the same effectiveness as Protection IV Leather armor, roughly speaking. That’s a huge difference, and combined with Wind Burst means you’ll be dealing consistent and high damage, draining your opponent’s resources.

All Mace enchantments in Minecraft

In total, the Mace has nine enchantments that you can get. These include some of the classic enchantments on almost all tools but includes a few unique ones as well. The enchantments can be found below:

EnchantmentWhat it doesMax level
Bane of ArthropodsIncreases damage against arthropods.V
BreachReduces target armor effectiveness.IV
Curse of VanishingCauses the item to disappear on player death.I
DensityIncreases the damage dealt per fallen block.V

MendingCauses the Mace to regenerate durability from experience.I
SmiteIncreases damage against undead mobs.V
UnbreakingIncreases the durability of the Mace.III
Wind BurstCreates a Wind Burst on hit that sends you into the air.III

When it comes to some of the unique enchantments, the effectiveness of said enchantments is as follows:

  • Breach reduces the armor effectiveness by 15% per level, up to 60%.
  • Density increases the damage by 0.5 per fallen block for each level, up to 2.5 increased damage per fallen block.
  • Wind Burst sends the attacker into the air by seven blocks per level, up to 21 blocks in height. However, you will also lose the fall damage protection from getting a normal hit. Feather Falling is heavily recommended.
