Tridents in Minecraft are powerful weapons that can be used for both melee and ranged combat. They cannot be crafted and are obtained by defeating Drowned mobs, which are hostile underwater zombies. Drowned can be found in rivers, ocean biomes, underwater ruins, and swamp biomes at night (Java Edition). The chance of obtaining a Trident from a Drowned is low, but players can increase their drop rates by using a sword with the Looting enchantment, targeting Drowned that are holding a Trident, or creating a Drowned farm. Once acquired, Tridents can be repaired and enchanted with Loyalty, Channeling, Riptide, and Impaling. Only Drowned holding a Trident will drop one, and using Looting increases the likelihood of obtaining it.
