Sword & Mace
This mod lets players unleash epic “Mace-style” attacks with Diamond and Netherite swords. Combine powerful swords with heavy-hitting blows and experience combat chaos like never before. Perfect for fans of melee combat and intense action.
About this Mod
Sword & Mace transforms late-game melee combat by reworking Diamond and Netherite swords into mace-style weapons with distinct mechanics and a heavier feel.
Instead of the default fast sword combat, these weapons focus on slower swing speed and higher damage per hit, rewarding timing and precision over spam-clicking. This creates a more deliberate and impactful combat experience, especially in late-game scenarios.

Why use this mod?
If you enjoy Minecraft’s vanilla style but want more depth and variety in combat, Sword & Mace offers a fresh take without overcomplicating the game. It’s ideal for players who prefer skill-based melee fighting and a slightly more medieval combat feel.
