Mace

Several changes from the latest Bedrock Preview were ported to Java Edition:

  • Reduced base damage by 1.
    • In both Java and Bedrock, a player attacking with a mace does 6 damage under normal circumstances
    • In Java, the mace’s tooltip shows “6 Attack Damage”, while in Bedrock, the mace’s tooltip shows “+5 Attack Damage”, not including the additional 1 damage from the player’s fist
  • Durability increased from 250 to 500.
  • Mace smash attack damage now has fall-off:
    • First 3 blocks fallen give 4 damage per block
    • Next 5 blocks fallen give 2 damage per block
    • Any further blocks fallen give 1 damage per block
  • Reduced density damage per block from 1 per level to 0.5 per level.
  • Breach, Density, Smite, and Bane of Arthopods are all supposed to be incompatible with each other, but this behavior is currently bugged.

The mace’s attack speed was reduced from 1.6 to 0.5.

Entities

Projectiles can now only be reflected once. If the projectile hits another breeze, it will instead pass through the breeze. Fixes MC-268367

If a mob is set on fire for a non-integer number of ticks, then the fire duration is rounded up to the nearest tick.

Trial Chambers

Download a world containing every trial chamber structure template.

The TNT trap was removed.

Vault Loot

The “rare” loot table for Ominous Vaults has changed. Wind Burst books are about twice as common, but are now always Wind Burst 1 books.

Note that ominous vaults pull from a common, rare, and unique pool, the table below is only the “rare” pool. Since ominous vaults always pull 1 item from the rare pool, the chances in the table below are also the chances to get that item from an ominous vault.

Misc

The frosted ice block no longer random ticks. Instead, it cracks by one level every 3-6 seconds until the block thaws.

Tridents with loyalty levels above 127 function identically to Loyalty 127.

Data Packs

The weather location predicate was not added. The existing weather_check condition is used instead.

“Arrow-like projectiles” includes tridents, which also now have a weapon NBT tag.

Edits

May 4 2024

  • Clarified damage calculations in Bedrock edition, since “base damage” in Java is total damage, while “base damage” in Bedrock is added to the player’s fist damage

May 6 2024

  • Re-word section on weapon NBT tag since it was mentioned in the official changelog
  • weather location predicate wasn’t actually added, thanks to Misode for pointing this out
