Sword & Mace

Sword & Mace transforms late-game melee combat by reworking Diamond and Netherite swords into mace-style weapons with distinct mechanics and a heavier feel.

Instead of the default fast sword combat, these weapons focus on slower swing speed and higher damage per hit, rewarding timing and precision over spam-clicking. This creates a more deliberate and impactful combat experience, especially in late-game scenarios.
