💥 MaceShock
Make every smash count! MaceShock is a lightweight plugin designed for Minecraft 1.21 that enhances the new Mace weapon mechanics. It turns a simple falling attack into an epic, ground-shaking event.
When you hit an enemy with a Mace while falling (Smash Attack), the plugin creates a shockwave that affects all nearby mobs.
✨ Features
- 🌊 Physical Shockwave: Enemies around your target are knocked back violently away from the impact point.
- ⚔️ AOE Damage: Deal splash damage to groups of mobs (perfect for Trial Chambers!).
- 😵 Stun Effect: Concussed enemies get a temporary Slowness effect.
- 🎨 Immersive Visuals: beautiful particle explosions and heavy impact sounds (using new 1.21 sound effects).
- ⚙️ Fully Configurable: Turn off features you don't need or tweak the power in
config.yml.
🎮 How it works
- Equip a Mace.
- Jump or fall from a height (default: > 1.5 blocks).
- Hit an enemy.
- BOOM! Watch the sparks fly and mobs scatter.
