MaceEffect: Kill Effects for Every Weapon

2.1.0: Every Weapon Update 🗡

The effects aren't mace-only anymore.

✨ New

• Effects for every weapon: mace, swords, axes, tridents and spears (1.21.11). New Weapons setting in the menu: Mace only, Melee (default) or Anything, which includes bare fists.
• Jump crits count as strong hits with non-mace weapons and get the full effect, just like a mace smash.
• Each weapon has its own kill banner: ☠ SWORD KILL, ☠ AXE KILL, ☠ TRIDENT KILL, ☠ SPEAR KILL, ☠ BARE-HANDED KILL.
• 23 new jokes for swords, axes, tridents, spears and fists, in English, Russian and German.
• 2 new menu splash lines.

🔧 Changed

• Gravity and mace jokes now only show up for mace kills. Mob jokes that mentioned the mace were rewritten so they fit any weapon.
• Menu layout: Test Drive and Done now share the bottom row, so the menu still fits on small screens.
• The miss detector (sad trombone) and the highest-smash record are still mace-only.

2.0.0: The Roast Update 💥

A full rewrite. The mod now actually works, and it got a lot louder.

🛠 Fixed

• Slow motion actually slows time now. It used to just break interpolation for 5 seconds after every hit, making mobs stutter and teleport. Now it uses a real tick-rate slowdown with a smooth ease-out (singleplayer).
• Hit detection is accurate now. The old version watched the health of every mob within 100 blocks each tick and counted any damage near a mace swing as your hit. Now the mod records your actual attack (with fall height) and waits for the server to confirm damage or death.
• Big performance improvement: no more scanning every entity in a 100-block radius every tick.
• Volume above 100% did nothing (Minecraft caps it), so the slider is now 0–100%.
• Removed an empty mixin and a hand-written refmap.

✨ New

• 3 new effects: Confetti, Divine Smite (lightning), BONK!
• Effects scale with fall height: light tap → smash → kill.
• Jokes after every kill, matched to the situation: smash height, 25+ block meteor strikes, player kills, and own lines for ~45 mobs.
• Missed-smash detection: fall 5+ blocks with a mace, hit nothing, get a MISS popup, a sad trombone and a roast.
• Floating popups in the world: hit words (BAM!, CRUNCH!), damage numbers, kill stamps.
• 5 combo ranks: Warming up → Nail driver → Mace-pocalypse → Someone call an admin → Go touch grass.
• Records: lifetime kills and highest smash, with a "new record" popup.
• Camera shake, FOV punch, screen flash. Can be turned off.
• New settings menu (J): two columns, tooltips, volume slider, stats, a random splash line, and a ⚡ Test Drive button.
• New settings: Jokes, Popups, Shake & Flash.
• New icon.

🔧 Changed

• Explosion effect is more compact and no longer fills the screen with smoke on close-range kills.
• The combo counter moved to the right of the crosshair, so it doesn't overlap world popups.
• All texts rewritten in English, Russian and German.
• Old configs are migrated automatically: invalid values are reset and volume is clamped to 0–100.
