When wielding an enchanted Mace with Density, your damage output will be heightened when landing on top of an opponent. In addition, the effectiveness of this boost will escalate depending on the number of blocks you fall past.

The maximum stacking for this will be five levels/blocks. The following is a breakdown of the damage dealt by each level.

Level	Damage per Block Fallen
1	0.5(Heart x 0.25)
2	1 Heart
3	1.5(Heart x 0.75)
4	2 Hearts
5	2.5(Heart x 1.25)

How to Obtain the Density Enchantment

Obtaining the Density Enchantment requires bringing a Mace and Lapis Lazuli to an Enchanting Table. If you wish to increase your chances of getting a Level 5 Enchantment, you can encircle the Enchanting Table with 15 Bookshelves.

The Density Enchantment can also be acquired by finding Enchanted Books in generated structures, as they may contain the spell. The most promising structures to search are Trial Chambers, as Ominous Vaults within them often hold the Density Enchantment.

There are many tools available in Minecraft besides Density, so make sure to educate yourself on Respiration, Breach, and the locations of Smithing Templates.
