The Wind Burst enchantment in Minecraft is a powerful ability exclusively for the new melee weapon, the Mace. It enhances the Mace's unique "smash attack" by launching the player back into the air upon a successful hit, allowing for rapid, chained attacks.
How Wind Burst Works
When you successfully land a smash attack with a Mace enchanted with Wind Burst, the enchantment triggers an effect similar to a Wind Charge explosion, propelling you upwards. This aerial boost is crucial for continuing the Mace's special attack chain:
- Re-launching: Instead of falling to the ground after a smash attack, you are instantly launched back up, enabling you to immediately initiate another smash attack from a height.
- Chaining Attacks: This allows for a continuous sequence of high-damage aerial assaults, especially effective against multiple targets or for maintaining combat momentum.
- Mobility: It provides a unique form of vertical mobility during combat, which can be used for both offense and repositioning.
Wind Burst Enchantment Levels
Wind Burst has a maximum level of three, with higher levels typically providing a more pronounced upward boost.
| Enchantment | Max Level | Effect | Applicable Weapon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wind Burst | III | Launches the player upwards after a successful Mace smash attack, enabling chained aerial assaults. | Mace |
Strategic Uses
- Infinite Combos: With practice, players can essentially stay airborne while repeatedly landing smash attacks on targets below.
- Crowd Control: The combined knockback from the smash attack and the Wind Burst re-launch can help manage groups of enemies.
- Environmental Navigation: In some scenarios, the upward thrust could even assist with minor vertical traversal in combat zones.
This enchantment significantly elevates the Mace's combat potential, making it a dynamic and engaging weapon for players who master its unique mechanics.
