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

1. Equip a Mace.
2. Jump or fall from a height (default: > 1.5 blocks).
3. Hit an enemy.
4. BOOM! Watch the sparks fly and mobs scatter.
