Everything about the Wind Burst in Minecraft 1.21 update

As the name suggests, the Wind Burst enchantment in Minecraft creates a burst of wind when a weapon enchanted with it is used.

However, there’s a catch. The Wind Burst enchantment is only available for mace, a new weapon in the game. That’s not all as it also cannot be applied to the mace by players.

The only way to get a mace enchanted with the Wind Burst enchantment is by opening the ominous vault, a new block that contains rare loot items and can only be opened with a trial key once per player. Note that normal vaults will not contain the enchanted mace.

The mace enchanted with the Wind Burst enchantment will create a burst of wind when smashed. This causes the player to be knocked up in the air and allow them to attack once more. It is worth noting that the Wind Burst enchantment does not negate fall damage. Using a normal mace from a height on time will negate fall damage.

The mace is the strongest weapon in the game when used the right way. The higher the player attacks from using the mace, the stronger the impact.

There are three levels of the Wind Burst enchantment. Level I launches the player eight blocks above the ground, Level II launches them 16 blocks above the ground, while Level III launches them 24 blocks above the ground.

The mace can be made using two items: the heavy core block that can be found by opening vaults and the breeze rod that can be obtained by defeating the Breeze.
