Many creative projects in Minecraft add new weapons, like katanas, daggers, and glaives. Some players have turned the axe into a weapon with durability and enchantment abilities. Mods have introduced chaotic elements with flamethrowers and earthquake makers, or added utility with new backpacks and gadgets. Recently, a Minecraft player went viral for creating a powerful new weapon inspired by the famous Mjolnir.
Reddit user ctkrocks has developed a datapack that introduces a new weapon to Minecraft called the copper mace. Players can craft this mace using a heavy core and a lightning rod. When the mace is held during a thunderstorm, it may become charged. The heavy core will light up to show the charged state, and each charge triggers four lightning strikes: one directly hitting the target and additional strikes affecting nearby mobs. You can download the datapack for free on GitHub if you want to try it out.
How to make the copper mace in Minecraft
The copper mace, created by OP, is one of the standout additions to Minecraft this year, offering players a powerful new weapon for their adventures.
To craft the mace, players need a heavy core, which is found in ominous vaults, and a breeze rod, dropped by the hostile Breeze mob. The mace can negate fall damage when you hit enemies with it, and its power can be boosted further with Minecraft's enchantments.
The Minecraft community is always busy adding exciting new features, but Mojang also continues to introduce fresh content through official updates. Recently, they released a snapshot that reintroduces the bundle, giving players a new way to store items. The bundle was tested back in 2020 but wasn't included in the game until now.
