Heavy Core
minecraft:heavy_coreThe Heavy Core is a dense, mysterious block dropped as rare loot from ominous vaults in trial chambers, with a hardness of 10 and blast resistance of 1,200. Its primary purpose is crafting a mace by combining it with a breeze rod, giving players access to one of the game's most powerful melee weapons.
