About this Mod
β Mace Effects
Make every mace hit legendary. Explosions, lightning, confetti, a cartoon BONK, real slow motion, combo ranks, floating comic-book popups, and a roast for every kill. And for every miss.
π₯ What it does
You fall from 30 blocks, slam a mace into a creeper's face... and the game just plays the normal sound. Not anymore.
- 6 hit effects: Explosion, Divine Smite (lightning), Confetti, BONK! (anvil sound + cartoon stars), Stars, Snowballs. Or set it to Random for a surprise every time.
- Scales with height: a quick tap gets a light effect, a smash gets the full show, and a kill gets the biggest one. The higher you fall, the louder it gets.
- Real slow motion on kills. The whole world slows down smoothly and eases back. No jitter, no fake interpolation.
- Floating popups in the world:
BAM!,CRUNCH!, damage numbers like-18 β€, and kill stamps likeβ BACK TO SPAWN. - Camera shake, FOV punch and screen flash on big hits.
π Every kill gets a roast
After each kill a joke pops up above your hotbar, picked to fit what just happened:
β KILL FROM 23 BLOCKS
Fell 23 blocks. Landing pad: Steve
- Smash kills: "Force = mass Γ 23 blocks of acceleration"
- 25+ blocks: "NASA confirms an object impact on Steve"
- Players: "Steve is already typing "hacks" in chat"
- ~45 mobs have their own lines:
- Villager: "Hmm. HMM?! HMMMMM!!!"
- Creeper: "Ssssss... BONK"
- Warden: "Do you even realize WHAT you just did?!"
- Cat: "WHY THE CAT?!"
β Missed? You'll hear about it
Fall 5+ blocks with a mace and hit nothing? You get a big MISS, a sad trombone, and something like:
"You attacked the ground. The ground was not impressed."
π₯ Combo ranks
Chain hits for ranks with their own sounds and particles:
WARMING UP (x3) β NAIL DRIVER (x5) β MACE-POCALYPSE (x10) β SOMEONE CALL AN ADMIN (x20) β GO TOUCH GRASS (x50)
π Records
Lifetime kill count and your highest smash are saved. Beat your record and the game lets you know.

π Info
| Minecraft | 1.21 |
| Loader | Fabric (0.18.4+) |
| Requires | Fabric API |
| Side | Client. The server doesn't need it |
| Languages | English, Π ΡΡΡΠΊΠΈΠΉ, Deutsch |
Notes:
- Slow motion only works in singleplayer. On a server, time isn't yours to bend, so you get the flash and shake instead.
- Every effect is visual and client-side. The mod doesn't change damage or give any advantage.
- Jokes live in the language files as numbered keys (
maceeffect.quip.kill.1,.2, ...), so a resource pack can add as many as it wants.

Does MaceEffect need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks MaceEffect as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does MaceEffect require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
MaceEffect is not working β what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
