Trident

Obtaining

A trident is associated with drowned encounters and is also listed in the unique reward pool for trial chambers. Only about 6.25% of naturally equipped drowned carry one; the weapon is a rare drop from a drowned that actually spawned with a trident. The underwater route is dangerous, so a recovery trip is safer with a clear route, spare food, and room to retreat. The public snapshot keeps the trial-chamber reward as an explicit source rather than hiding it in prose.

Usage

A trident is used for melee and ranged combat, travel through water or rain, and reliable hits from a safe distance. Its single-slot inventory footprint and durability enchantment tag make it a compact tool for ocean monuments, drowned routes, and trial chambers.

Sounds

The item has distinct throw, hit, ground-hit, return, Riptide, and thunder events. Loyalty uses the return event, while Riptide selects one of its spin-attack sounds.

Combat and movement

A trident is a melee weapon when swung and a projectile when thrown. Holding it for 10 ticks begins a throw; the projectile uses a launch power of 2.5 and consumes one durability point. Loyalty can accelerate its return, Riptide supplies a spin attack only in suitable water or rain, Channeling adds a thunder effect to eligible targets, and Impaling specializes damage against aquatic targets. These hooks are separate enchantment records, so each one can be inspected without turning the item page into a code dump.

Data values

The item uses the `minecraft:trident` identifier, is a projectile damage type, and occupies a single inventory slot. Its model has separate views for ordinary and Riptide movement, while the enchantment tag marks it as a durability item.
