Create servers perfect for combat, PvP arenas, and competitive gameplay where enchantments like Breach add strategic depth to player battles.
Breach is a powerful combat enchantment that fundamentally changes how armor protection works in combat scenarios:
Enchantment Details:
• Weapon Type: Exclusive to maces only
• Maximum Level: Breach IV (4 levels available)
• Effect: Reduces target's armor effectiveness by 15% per level
• Damage Calculation: Applied before damage reduction, making attacks significantly more effective
Level-by-Level Breakdown:
• Breach I: 15% armor reduction
• Breach II: 30% armor reduction
• Breach III: 45% armor reduction
• Breach IV: 60% armor reduction
Combat Impact:
Against a player wearing full diamond armor (20 armor points), Breach IV would reduce their effective armor to only 8 points, dramatically increasing damage taken. This makes Breach one of the most impactful combat enchantments for breaking through defensive strategies.
How Breach changes the battlefield dynamics
Breach bypasses armor protection before damage calculation, making it exceptionally effective against tank builds and heavily armored opponents in PvP scenarios.
Focus on heavily armored targets to maximize Breach effectiveness. Light armor opponents may be better engaged with other enchantment combinations.
Breach creates rock-paper-scissors dynamics where mace users counter armor builds, while agile opponents may counter mace users through mobility.
Configure enchanting mechanics, PvP settings, and combat balance to create the perfect environment for strategic battles featuring Breach and other combat enchantments.

If you own your own domain from a Domain Registrar such as Namecheap or Google Domains, you can set it up by following our guide on setting up DNS records.
All servers have the ability to make a free subdomain ending in .my.pebble.host through their gamepanel.
Our Premium hosting uses the faster Ryzen 7900 CPU, which means it's able to handle higher playercounts and more intensive servers than on Budget.

No, Breach is exclusive to maces only. It cannot be applied to swords, axes, tridents, or any other weapon type in Minecraft.
This limitation makes maces specialized anti-armor weapons while maintaining balance with other weapon types that have their own unique enchantment combinations.
Breach can be combined with other mace enchantments like Smite, Bane of Arthropods, and utility enchantments. However, it cannot be combined with Sharpness on the same weapon.
The armor reduction from Breach is applied before other damage calculations, making it synergize well with high base damage enchantments.
Yes, Breach reduces the effectiveness of all armor types equally by percentage. This makes it particularly powerful against high-tier armor like netherite and diamond, where the absolute damage increase is most significant.
Against unarmored opponents, Breach provides no benefit since there's no armor to penetrate.
There's no direct counter to Breach's armor penetration effect. Players can use mobility, shields, healing items, or ranged attacks to avoid mace combat entirely.
Some servers implement custom enchantments or items that provide Breach resistance, but this isn't part of vanilla Minecraft mechanics.
For servers emphasizing combat and Breach mechanics, configure balanced enchanting systems for fair access to rare enchantments, create PvP arenas and combat zones with appropriate rules, establish clear guidelines for weapon and enchantment usage, implement ranking systems that reward strategic combat skill, and maintain stable performance for precise hit registration during intense battles.
