Charge Damage Bar

Quickstart

1. Craft the Charge Damage Bar using the recipe below (it's also automatically unlocked when you join a world).
2. Hold it in your main hand or offhand and attack any mob.
3. Watch the charge bar appear at the bottom of your screen — it fills up as you land hits.
4. Land your 10th hit to unleash a massive 50-damage strike, then the charge resets and you start building it up again.

Overview

The Charge Damage Bar is a melee weapon built around patience and timing. Instead of dealing consistent damage on every swing, it rewards you for sticking with a fight: every hit builds up a charge, and once fully charged, your next attack unleashes an enormous burst of damage before resetting.

What It Adds

• Charge Damage Bar — a craftable melee weapon that tracks how many hits you've landed and delivers a devastating finishing blow at max charge.
• An on-screen charge meter that shows your current progress and lets you know exactly when the big hit is ready.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Charge Damage Bar using a diamond, netherite ingot, redstone, and a stick:

The recipe for this weapon is automatically given to players as soon as they join the world, so you don't need to find or unlock it manually — just open your crafting table and build it.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Charge Tracking: Every successful hit against a mob increases your charge by 1, up to a maximum of 10.
• Charge Meter: While holding the weapon in either hand, a bar appears near the bottom of your screen showing your current charge out of 10. The bar's color and label change once you're fully charged, clearly marking that your next hit will be a finisher.
• Finishing Strike: On your 10th consecutive hit, the weapon unleashes a massive attack dealing 50 total damage instead of its normal hit. After this strike lands, your charge resets to 0 and you begin building it up again.
• Durability: The weapon takes durability damage each time you hit an enemy, so keep an eye on its condition — it can eventually break like any other tool.
• Enchanting: The weapon can be enchanted with weapon and durability-related enchantments, letting you customize it further (e.g. Sharpness, Unbreaking, Mending).

Progression And Strategy

Because the finishing strike only triggers after 10 hits, this weapon favors sustained engagements over hit-and-run tactics. It performs best against tougher enemies where you can safely land multiple hits in a row without losing your charge streak to death or disengagement. Watch the charge bar closely — timing your positioning so the 10th hit lands on a high-value target (like a boss or tough mob) lets you make the most of the 50-damage payoff.
