Funny Minecraft video reveals what happens when a fox gets an enchanted mace
The Minecraft 1.21 update added a powerful new weapon called the mace, and it ended up becoming a welcome addition. It comes with unique enchantments and can be a challenging weapon to master. While the 2D look can be jarring, things get even funnier when a fox gets an enchanted mace and uses it. Thankfully, someone made a video of the same and it has been getting quite popular in the game’s community on Reddit.
A Minecraft player and Redditor u/CookieCruncher99 shared the video showing how the fox takes the enchanted mace and when a rabbit is spawned nearby, it attacks the rabbit with it. The fox is launched into the air the moment it attacks the rabbit, which is quite comical.
Reacting to the clip, u/Jellie_the_Cat said that they want to make an army of such foxes holding the mace with wind burst enchantment. Another user Redditor u/TrogdorKhan97 said that Minecraft is quite immersive in that it allows the fox to use the same game mechanics for the mace as the players.
User u/Vayne_Solidor jokingly said how the rabbit would suddenly start hearing the boss music play as soon as the fox woke up. Meanwhile, user u/Turbulent-Pause6348 added that it was the tactical fox that got up to action.
Redditor u/Right_Gas2569 said that they had never thought that giving a fox an enchanted mace would send it almost 30 blocks in the sky and even kill it. They found it quite funny as well, while user u/Raysofdoom716 said that it would be even more hilarious to see the fox kill the player. This could then, perhaps, show a rare death message in Minecraft.
User u/theWubber asked the original poster to use the splash potion of slow falling on the fox so it does not die after falling. They also wanted to know whether it would deal the fall damage with the mace. They mentioned that they will be trying it out themself.
A look at the mace in Minecraft
Minecraft players have been asking for an update that improves the combat of the game. For years, they only had the sword and the ax as the primary melee weapon, and they aren't too different.
A new melee weapon that also required some practice would have been the best thing for the game, and that is exactly what Mojang Studios did with the addition of the mace. The mace is an extremely powerful weapon that comes with a twist.
Players need to master it to deliver the most powerful blow. The higher it is used from, the more powerful the blow it gives. However, there is also a risk of the player falling down and even dying due to the fall damage. Some fans have even created some great mods that allow the creation of copper mace.
What’s even better is that these copper mace weapons can get charged and deliver a lighting strike when hit. It goes to show how Minecraft’s community has been fostered all these years and is still growing.
