Which is called as morning star?
That would be either a mace with spikes, or a flail with spikes.
Does a morning star weapon have a chain or doesn't it?
A Morning Star actually is a bronze or iron ball with 12-15 sharpened spikes on it. It has a wooden handle attached to the ball. So it is more of a club or in a more accurate term ... a spiked Mace. They did NOT have chains in them - that would be a Flail.
What was the morning stars and maces types of?
Both are medieval weapons. A mace isbasicallya club with a metal head to increase the energyof the impact. A morning star is similar, but the head includes protruding spikes.Modern reproductions of the morningstar sometimes have the weapon's head attached with a length of chain, similar to a flail. The authentic medieval military flail was more commonly simply two lengths of wood, similar to the agricultural flail that was used to thresh grain, with the striking end sometimesreinforcedwith metal. The degree to which the "spiked ball and chain" version of the morning star is authentic, and to how common its use was, is subject to debate and speculation, There are a few such weapons extant, but they seem to date from the very late middle ages to the 16th century.

What materials was the flail made of?
a flail was made by a blacksmithA flail is an agricultural tool used for threshing, to separate grains from their husks. It is usually made from two or more sticks attached by a short chain ; one stick is held and swung, causing the other to strike a pile of grain, loosening the husks. The precise dimensions and shape of a flail would have been developed by generations of farmers to suit the particular grain they were harvesting. For example, flails used by farmers in Quebec to process wheat were generally made from two pieces of wood, the handle being about 1.5 m long by 3 cm in diameter, and the second stick being about 1 m long by about 3 cm in diameter, with a slight taper towards the end. Flails for other grains, such as rice or spelt, would have had different dimensions. French peasants threshing with flails around 1270.Flails have generally fallen into disuse in many nations because of the availability of technologies such as combine harvesters that require much less manual labour. But in many places, such as Minnesota, wild rice can only be harvested using manual means, specifically through the use of a canoe and a flail that is made of smooth, round wood no more than 30 inches long.[1] The flailis a medieval weapon made of one (or more) weights attached to a handle with a hinge or chain. There is some disagreement over the names for this weapon; the terms "morning star", and even "mace" are variously applied, though these are used to describe other weapons, which are very different in usage from a weapon with a hinge or chain, commonly used in Europe from the 13th century to the 15th century. In construction, the morning star and flail have similar, if not identical, spiked heads. Thus, morning star is an acceptable name for this weapon, especially as the name "flail" is also used to describe a style of whip used for flagellation. The term "morning star" actually refers to the head of a weapon[citation needed] (the small round spiked ball) and can be used for either a morning star mace (on a shaft) or flail (if on a chain). Flails also sometimes had blunt round heads or flanges like a mace. Some written records point to small rings attached to chains on a flail used to inflict greater damage, but no historical examples are known to exist
