The Minecraft trident has been in Minecraft Java Edition since the Aquatic update (Java Edition 1.13) as an uncommon drop from drowned enemies. The trident is one of the most powerful Minecraft weapons. It is a weapon that can be employed in melee or combat from a distance, and even its non-enchanted version can deliver more than a diamond blade though its attack speed might be a bit slower. You can also throw a trident as much as 80 blocks away if you can improve your aim.
It is impossible to make a Minecraft trident, and therefore you won't be able to find an underwater recipe for this weapon. Instead, you'll need take one from the dead, cold hands of a Drowned mob, one of the new zombies that came out in the Aquatic update.
The fact that the trident can be a mob drop and as powerful as a diamond sword makes it a great weapon to use early in your Minecraft adventure, if you're strong enough to withstand an Drowned. We'll teach you how to create your own Minecraft trident and what Minecraft magicks can be used to enhance it.
How do I get the Minecraft Trident
Head underwater and look for zombie mobs called Drowned. They can appear in the world with the trident. To get a chance to see a trident dropping from them, you'll need to defeat them. However, this chance is very small at 8.5 percent.
If you're playing in Bedrock or Pocket Edition then there is the chance that a trident will drop from Drowned that are not holding the trident, therefore it's worth slaying any Drowned you come across attempting to get your blocky hands on one of these.taking an imagecan also make use of Minecraft seeds to make underwater worlds to have a chance to spawn Downed zombie mobs.

In Java Edition, only 6.25% of Drowned spawns have a trident, while the chance is slightly higher in Bedrock Edition at 15%. Looting an enchantment could increase your chances of farming.
Minecraft trident repair
These drop rates mean that the Minecraft trident is a bit difficult to find and you'll probably spend a lot of time looking for one. You'll need to harvest a few of them, in addition, because the random durability means it's only an issue of time before one breaks. To repair a trident within Minecraft you simply combine two tridents with an Anvil.
