Overview
Trident is a weapon in the Weapons category of Minecraft, obtained through mob drops (Drowned). It cannot be stacked, so each Trident occupies a full inventory slot on its own the way tools and other damageable items do. With a base durability of 250 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted to extend its working life before it breaks. This item was added to the game in version 1.13.
In this database, Trident sits alongside 11 other Weapons entries, each with its own page. Its 250-point durability sets how many actions it survives before breaking, and pairing it with Unbreaking multiplies that effective lifespan while Mending repairs it from collected experience. When enchanted, it can carry 7 different enchantments, including Loyalty, Channeling, Riptide, and Impaling, which together can dramatically change how it performs.
