MaceEffect
ModAdds epic visual effects, custom particles, and cinematic slow-motion to your Mace kills!
Description
⚔ MaceEffect: Kill Effects for Every Weapon
Make every hit legendary. Mace smashes, sword crits, axe chops, trident stabs, even bare-handed punches. Explosions, lightning, confetti, a cartoon BONK, real slow motion, combo ranks, floating comic-book popups, and a roast for every kill. And for every miss.
💥 What it does
You fall from 30 blocks, slam a mace into a creeper's face... and the game just plays the normal sound. Not anymore.
- Works with every weapon: mace, swords, axes, tridents, spears. Or set it to Anything and punch things bare-handed.
- 6 hit effects: Explosion, Divine Smite (lightning), Confetti, BONK! (anvil sound + cartoon stars), Stars, Snowballs. Or set it to Random for a surprise every time.
- Scales with the hit: a normal hit gets a light effect, a mace smash or a jump crit gets the full show, and a kill gets the biggest one. With a mace, the higher you fall, the louder it gets.
- Real slow motion on kills. The whole world slows down smoothly and eases back. No jitter, no fake interpolation.
- Floating popups in the world:
BAM!,CRUNCH!, damage numbers like-18 ❤, and kill stamps like☠ BACK TO SPAWN. - Camera shake, FOV punch and screen flash on big hits.
🗡 Not just the mace
Every weapon gets its own kill banner and its own jokes:
| Weapon | Banner | Sample roast |
|---|---|---|
| Mace | ☠ MACE KILL | "The mace doesn't ask. The mace informs" |
| Sword | ☠ SWORD KILL | "The sword was sharp. Steve was not" |
| Axe | ☠ AXE KILL | "Shield? The axe didn't read the memo" |
| Trident | ☠ TRIDENT KILL | "Poseidon sends his regards, Steve" |
| Spear | ☠ SPEAR KILL | "Personal space: violated. Steve: deleted" |
| Fists | ☠ BARE-HANDED KILL | "Steve lost to a fist. A FIST" |
Choose what triggers the effects in the menu: Mace only (the original), Melee (default) or Anything.
😂 Every kill gets a roast
After each kill a joke pops up above your hotbar, picked to fit what just happened:
☠ KILL FROM 23 BLOCKS Fell 23 blocks. Landing pad: Steve
- Smash kills: "Force = mass × 23 blocks of acceleration"
- 25+ blocks: "NASA confirms an object impact on Steve"
- Players: "Steve is already typing "hacks" in chat"
- ~45 mobs have their own lines:
- Villager: "Hmm. HMM?! HMMMMM!!!"
- Creeper: "Ssssss... BONK"
- Warden: "Do you even realize WHAT you just did?!"
- Cat: "WHY THE CAT?!"
✘ Missed? You'll hear about it
Fall 5+ blocks with a mace and hit nothing? You get a big MISS, a sad trombone, and something like:
"You attacked the ground. The ground was not impressed."
🔥 Combo ranks
Chain hits with any weapon for ranks with their own sounds and particles:
WARMING UP (x3) → NAIL DRIVER (x5) → MACE-POCALYPSE (x10) → SOMEONE CALL AN ADMIN (x20) → GO TOUCH GRASS (x50)
🏆 Records
Lifetime kill count and your highest mace smash are saved. Beat your record and the game lets you know.

📋 Info
| Minecraft | 1.21 – 1.21.11 |
| Loader | Fabric (0.18.4+) |
| Requires | Fabric API |
| Side | Client. The server doesn't need it |
| Languages | English, Русский, Deutsch |
Notes:
- Slow motion only works in singleplayer. On a server, time isn't yours to bend, so you get the flash and shake instead.
- Every effect is visual and client-side. The mod doesn't change damage or give any advantage.
- Jokes live in the language files as numbered keys (
maceeffect.quip.kill.1,maceeffect.quip.weapon.sword.1, ...), so a resource pack can add as many as it wants. - Want the mod in your language? Translations are welcome!
