Minecraft 1.21: Density, Breach, Wind Burst

Everything new on the 1.21 Mace, including the calculator-handled conflict rules for the Mace's damage enchantments.

AD

Density (max V)

Adds bonus damage scaling per block fallen during a smash attack - rewards Mace + Wind Burst aerial combos. Book multiplier 1, max level 5. Conflicts with Breach, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods.

Breach (max IV)

Reduces the effectiveness of armor on hit targets - the answer to Protection IV stacks in PvP. Book multiplier 4, max level 4. Conflicts with Density, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods.

Wind Burst (max III)

On a smash attack, launches the user upward - allowing chained aerial smashes that compound with Density. Book multiplier 4, max level 3. Treasure-only (no enchanting-table drop), find it in trial chamber loot. The official Java 1.21 notes list the three Mace enchantments and these incompatibilities.
