Trident does not stack, so a second one is a second slot, and trial chamber vaults hand over one at a time. A double chest holds 54 Trident, one to a slot.

How much durability does Trident have?

Trident starts at 250 durability, and every use takes one off. On Trident the bar is not the end of it, because Unbreaking makes every point last longer and Mending refills them from experience. Set against everything else that wears out, Trident sits in the top 30 of the 78 items with a bar.

Building with it

The trident only comes from drowned, never from a crafting grid, and it is both a melee weapon and a thrown one. Two enchantments define it: Loyalty brings it back to your hand, and Riptide launches you through water or rain, which turns a storm into free travel.
