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. With a base durability of 250 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted.
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. Generated chests only ever hold Trident in one place: trial chamber vaults (roughly 1 in 12).
