[Mace Combat Backport] Mace 3D in Hand
If you have been enjoying the Mace Combat Backport mod but felt that the default flat mace sprite lacked impact, this resource pack is exactly what you need. The [Mace Combat Backport] Mace 3D in Hand add-on transforms the weapon into a fully three-dimensional model, making every swing feel weighty and satisfying. Instead of a simple 2D icon, you get a detailed, hand-held mace that reacts to your movements and lighting, pulling you deeper into the medieval combat fantasy.
Why a 3D Mace Changes Everything
Vanilla Minecraft treats most items as flat textures, which works fine for blocks and tools, but weapons deserve more presence. With this pack, the mace becomes a true extension of your arm. The model, originally crafted by UnduGT for the Undopia 3D Mace pack and approved for use here, features a sturdy handle, a spiked head, and realistic proportions. When you raise it to strike, the depth and shading respond dynamically, making combat feel far more immersive than the standard flat sprite ever could.
Immersive Combat Visuals
Imagine charging into a raid with a mace that actually looks like a medieval weapon. The 3D geometry catches light from torches and lava, casting shadows and highlights that shift as you move. This small change enhances the entire combat loop, especially when paired with the Mace Combat Backport mod’s mechanics. You will notice the difference the moment you equip it, whether you are fighting off pillagers or dueling friends on a PvP server.

It works seamlessly on Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, the most common targets for backport mods. You can use it with either Forge or Fabric loader environments, as long as the core mod is installed. No additional dependencies are needed beyond the mod itself and a resource-pack-compatible client.
