Learn everything you need to know about the extremely useful Density Enchantment for your mace in Minecraft.
Minecraft is filled to the brim with mechanics and concepts that impact your playthrough, with the fascinating list of enchantments playing a huge role in transforming your gameplay. The Density Enchantment is one such element of the game. This enchantment is exclusive to the mace and has the ability to increase the weapon’s force in particular scenarios severely.
In this article, we will break down what the Density Enchantment is and how you can get around to using it in Minecraft.
What is the Density Enchantment in Minecraft?
The Density Enchantment amplifies the mace’s smash attack based on your fall height onto enemies. The higher you fall, the more devastating your attack. Here’s how it stacks up:
- Fall Damage Boost: Unlike other melee weapons that deal limited damage from high falls, the mace’s damage increases significantly with higher fall heights. Density Enchantment amplifies this already exponential damage.
- Extra Knockback: Increased gravitational force from a higher fall results in greater knockback during an attack.
- Damage Per Block: Each enchantment level adds specific extra damage per block fallen:
| Density Enchantment Level | Extra Damage per Block Fallen |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.5 Heart / 0.25 x Heart |
| 2 | 1.0 Heart |
| 3 | 1.5 Hearts / 0.75 x Heart |
| 4 | 2.0 Hearts |
| 5 | 2.5 Hearts / 1.25 x Heart |
How To Acquire the Density Enchantment
There are several ways to acquire the Density Enchantment in Minecraft. You can craft an enchanting table using one book, two diamonds, and four obsidian blocks, then surround it with bookshelves for the best enchantments. Alternatively, you can trade with a librarian villager, go fishing in various water bodies to obtain enchanted books, or search for enchanted books in vaults and chests within different structures.
Crafting and Enchanting the Mace
Follow these steps to craft and enchant your mace:
- Craft an Enchanting Table: Use a book, two diamonds, and four obsidian blocks.
- Arrange Bookshelves: Surround the table with bookshelves, maintaining a one-block distance.
- Craft the Mace: Utilize a breeze rod and a heavy core. Breeze rods drop from breeze mobs, and heavy cores are found in trial chambers.
- Enchanting Process: Place the mace on the enchanting table and use 1-3 Lapis Lazuli to apply Density.
The Density Enchantment stands out among others due to its universal applicability and ability to make every high-fall attack deadly. While Density is incompatible with Breach, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods, it proves effective in many scenarios. Combine it with the Wind Burst Enchantment for even greater damage.
