Overview

The Dreadlaugh Warhammer is a powerful Epic-tier melee weapon forged from dark materials. Its grotesque, blood-dripping face terrorizes enemies in a wide radius on every swing, and its wielder can call upon its dark power to restore themselves to full health in an instant.

Abilities And Mechanics

On Hit — Area Devastation

Every time you strike a mob or player, the Dreadlaugh Warhammer:

• Deals splash damage (3 hearts / 6 damage) to all living entities within 4 blocks of the target.
• Applies Poison II for 5 seconds to every living entity in that radius, including the primary target.
• Plays an evil laugh sound at the point of impact.

The primary target still takes the full weapon damage on top of any splash effects.

Special Ability — Dreadlaugh's Feast (Use/Interact)

While holding the hammer, use/interact to instantly restore your health to its maximum value. An evil laugh plays at a lower pitch as confirmation, and your action bar displays a message.

• Cooldown: 30 seconds.
• If the ability is still on cooldown, your action bar shows the remaining seconds.
• The cooldown resets if you leave and rejoin the world.

Progression And Strategy

• Early sweep tactic: The 4-block area damage radius means even a single attack in a crowd poisons and splashes everything nearby — ideal for mob farms, sieges, or PvP skirmishes.
• Sustain in combat: Time the heal ability at low health to completely negate burst damage. The 30-second cooldown means it won't save you twice in a short fight, so use it wisely.
• Enchanting: The hammer uses the sword enchantment slot, so Sharpness, Looting, Fire Aspect, and Knockback all apply. Fire Aspect combined with the built-in area splash can ignite entire groups.
• Repair: Keep Netherite Ingots on hand — each ingot restores 390 durability at an anvil, giving the hammer a long lifespan.
