The Mace recipe
We will guide you with a step by step guide on how to make a mace in Minecraft. The quick answer is to craft a mace with 1 breeze rod and 1 heavy core in a crafting table. Learn the craft details in this article.
1. Gather resources
- 1 Breeze rod
- 1 Heavy core
The mace craft needs 1 Breeze rod and 1 Heavy core. All the ingredients of the Mace Recipe are found in the Trial Chamber.
Find a Breeze rod
The way to get a Breeze Rod is to find a Breeze in a Trial Chamber. There are spawners in these dungeons, so you should find them easily. Attack this mob to make it drop a Breeze Rod.
Get a Heavy Core
The way to get a Heavy Core is to end the whold Trial Chamber dungeon. You need to defeat the dungeon mobs and break the spawners.
In fact, breaking an ominous trial spawner has a 30% change to drop an Ominous Trial Key. This key is mandatory to get access to a Heavy Core.
Once you made it to the vault at the end of the chamber, called ominous vault, you can use the key. Use the Ominous Trial Key on the Ominous Vault and you will have a 7.5% chance to obtain a Heavy Core.
2. Place ingredients in the crafting table
Now that you have collected all the resources to make a Mace, let's craft it ! You can either use a crafting table, or your inventory since there are only 2 items in the recipe.
Place your Breeze rod in any slot that's not at the top row. Then, place the heavy core at the top of the rod.

3. Move the mace to your inventory
If you followed the previous instructions, you should be able to take your Mace from the crafting table. Drag it in any of your inventory slots.

You have now successfully crafted a Mace. Now that you know how to make a mace, feel free to try its power on hostile mobs while falling from a high place. Make sure to either use the Mending enchantment or to have enough breeze rods to repair your Mace. Its durability of 250 is quite low by default.
