Is the Minecraft Mace an OP Weapon? Here’s What I Think
View quick summary
Mace is the new Minecraft 1.21 weapon that is fairly OP. Its pros include high damage output that's not capped, powerful complementary enchantments and the highly risky but fun and potentially strong combo with the elytra. The cons of the mace are the pure rareness of the heavy core item, the difficulty of mastering it and the fact that it's useful in open areas only. Personally, I believe the mace is very well balanced. It doesn't overshadow the other features nor is it redundant. Overall, the mace is a great addition to the Minecraft 1.21 update.

View quick summary

Thanks to density 5, you can one-shot the Warden if you fall for about 100 blocks.
