"No totem is actually insane LOL": Minecraft fans impressed as player one-shots the Warden in Hardcore mode
Minecraft recently got a brand new item called the mace, and it is the most powerful melee weapon in the game. It can be crafted by using the breeze rod and the heavy core block. The mace is extremely rare as it is so powerful. When used the right way, it can defeat the strongest mobs in the game with just one hit.
Minecraft player and Redditor cybladium shared an impressive video on the game's subreddit, showing how they killed the Warden mob with just one hit from the mace. While other players have done this before, what makes it so impressive is that the original poster did it in Hardcore mode. One small mistake would've meant losing all progress, including an enchanted mace.
Reacting to this video, Working_Pen2702 commented:

Another user named switjive18 pointed out something interesting. They said that even if the original poster had missed, the hay bale would have saved the player if they wore armor with Protection IV enchantment and Feather Falling enchantment on the boots. They also mentioned trying it by surviving a 300-block fall with four and a half hearts to spare.
automodtedtrr2939 mentioned that one can even go further by eating an enchanted golden apple. With that item, players can fall 1,129 blocks and still survive.
Athefight2011 mentioned a small pet peeve: Java Edition players get an offhand slot that lets them carry anything they want. For Bedrock players, they can just hold maps, totems, fireworks, and arrows.
Sud_literate said that Bedrock Edition cannot have everything in the offhand slot because of the restrictions by touchscreen mobile devices. The user also mentioned that they like the Bedrock Edition as it has better-optimized worlds and reasonable trident spawns.
Powerful items in Minecraft
The addition of the mace weapon in the game was exciting and welcome. For years, players had been asking for a new melee weapon and Mojang took their time to develop something great. The mace comes with an interesting mechanic.
This weapon is as strong as the player's skill at using it. The higher the player is with the mace, the stronger the attack. However, if not timed right, it can lead to a severe amount of damage. The risk and reward are high when using it.
