How to get all of the different Minecraft mace enchantments

1) Enchanted Book Enchantments

All of the previously existing Minecraft enchantments that have been made compatible with the mace are available via enchanted book. The full list of these enchantments is as follows:

Enchantment	Effect	Max Level
Density	Damage dealt per block fallen increased by 1 per level	V
Breach	Target's armor is 15% less effective per level	IV
Mending	Converts a gained experience point into two durability points repaired on an item	I
Unbreaking	Weapon will last level + 1 times longer	III
Smite	1.25 extra hearts of damage per level against undead	V
Bane of Arthropods	1.25 extra hearts of damage per level against arthropods	V
Fire Aspect	Sets targets on fire upon contact	II
Curse of Vanishing	Dying with the item causes it to vanish	I

Density and Breach are two new enchantments, added specifically to give the mace exclusive enchantments.

Density is a common enchantment that makes the mace much deadlier. At max level, it doubles falling damage applied from 1.5 hearts per block to four. Breach is a rare enchantment that reduces a target's armor by up to 75%, making even short falls much deadlier.

Additionally, Mending is unavailable from the enchanting table and must be obtained via trading or fishing. You should keep in mind that both of these methods can be time-consuming, so the sooner a mending book is obtained, the better.

All of the previously mentioned enchantments, other than Curse of Vanishing and Mending, are also available for maces via the enchanting table. Getting the highest levels of these enchantments will require a level 30 Minecraft enchanting setup. Cycling enchantments to find the mace-specific ones might also require some blank books and a grindstone.

3) Omninous Vault Exclusive Enchantment

There is one enchantment for the new mace that cannot be obtained by either the enchanting table or regular means of acquiring enchanted books, such as fishing or Minecraft villager trading. This enchantment is Wind Burst. It has three levels and will cause you to spring back up in the air after landing a falling strike, with higher levels equating to higher bounces.

The only way to obtain Wind Burst, surely up there with Minecraft's best weapon enchantments, is by looting ominous vaults. These are newly added variants of 1.21's upcoming vault block, which only appear when entering trial chambers while under the bad omen status effect. This effect is gained when killing a flag-bearing pillager leader.
