Each vault has a 2.2% chance of dropping a Heavy Core Block. Currently, the only known use for the Heavy Core is crafting a powerful weapon Mace. Combine heavy core with Breeze Rods to create this powerful tool.

How to Get Mace 

1. Find a Trial Chamber

To craft the Mace Weapon, you must first find the Trial Chamber. Because you will get Heavy Core Block and Breeze Road only in the Trial Chamber. And only with the help of these items players can craft the mace.

These are new structures composed of tough and copper blocks, located between -20 and -40 underground in the Overworld.

2. Defeat Breezes

To access Breeze Rod, you will have to defeat Breeze, which you will find in the Trial Chamber.

3. Acquire a Heavy Core

It is a bit difficult to get Heavy Core as there is only 8.3% chance of getting Heavy Core from Omnious Vault. You may need to find multiple trial chambers to obtain one.

4. Craft the Mace

First Open your inventory or use a crafting table. Place the Breeze Rod in any of the two bottom slots of the crafting table, then add the Heavy Core above the Breeze Rod. The mace will appear in the result slot on the right.

How to Use the Mace

The mace can be used like any other melee weapon in Minecraft. Get close to a target and press the left mouse button to attack. Jumping and attacking will cause you to perform a critical hit, increasing the damage dealt.

Attacking

Hold the mace and press the left mouse button to attack.

For maximum damage, hit mobs while falling from a high place.

The longer you fall, the harder you’ll hit.

Timing matters: your fall damage is negated only if you land the blow.

To execute a smash attack, fall more than 1.5 blocks down on your victim. If you fall more than 2.5 blocks, the mace attack will also knock back your enemy.

How To Find Breeze Rod & Heavy Core Block 

Breeze Rods: Breeze rod can be obtained by defeating Breeze mob, which are found in Trial Chambers. Using the Looting enchantment on your weapon can increase the drops of Breeze Rods dropped upon killing a Breeze.

Heavy Cores: To get a Heavy Core, you'll need to open an ominous vault within a Trial Chamber. This requires an ominous bottle, which can be acquired by defeating pillager raid captains outside of raids or defeating a trial/ominous spawner, looting a trial/ominous key from it, and opening a vault or ominous vault.
