What is Trident in Minecraft?
The Trident is a very rare and powerful weapon in Minecraft that can be used for both melee and ranged attacks. It is a three pronged spear that is more powerful than a diamond sword in melee combat. What makes the Trident truly special is that you can also throw it like a spear, making it a versatile weapon for any situation. It is the only weapon that works effectively both in hand and as a projectile. The Trident can also be given a set of unique and powerful enchantments that are not available for any other weapon, such as the ability to summon lightning or to fly through water and rain. This makes the Trident one of the most sought after and exciting weapons in the entire game.
How to get Trident in Minecraft
Getting a Trident is a real challenge, as it cannot be crafted. The only way to obtain a Trident is as a rare drop from a Drowned. Drowned are zombie like mobs that spawn in oceans and rivers. Only Drowned that naturally spawn holding a Trident have a small chance of dropping it when they are defeated. The chance is very low, only 8.5%. You can increase this chance by using a sword with the Looting enchantment. The best way to farm for a Trident is to find an ocean biome and hunt for Drowned at night or in deep, dark parts of the water. It can take a long time to find one, but the reward is well worth the effort. In Bedrock Edition, Drowned can also spawn from regular zombies that drown.
How to use Trident in Minecraft
To use the Trident as a melee weapon, you just swing it like a sword. To throw it, hold down the right mouse button to charge it up, and then release to throw it. After you throw it, you have to go and pick it up again, unless you have the Loyalty enchantment. The Trident has several exclusive enchantments. Loyalty makes the Trident automatically return to you after you throw it. Riptide allows you to launch yourself through the air when you throw the Trident while you are in water or in the rain, which is an amazing way to travel. Channeling makes the Trident summon a bolt of lightning on any mob it hits during a thunderstorm. Impaling increases the damage the Trident deals to aquatic mobs. A fully enchanted Trident is an incredibly fun and powerful tool.
