Frequently asked questions

How do I get my first trident?
You need to find an ocean monument and defeat all three elder guardians. Each one drops a trident fragment when killed. Collect all three fragments, combine them with prismarine shards in a crafting table, and you'll have a brand new trident.
What's the crafting recipe for a trident?
Place three trident fragments and two prismarine shards in a crafting table. The trident fragments come from elder guardians, and prismarine shards are found in ocean monuments or dropped by guardians.
Do I need to find tridents in the ocean or can I craft them?
This mod adds a crafting recipe so you don't need to find tridents in ocean ruins anymore. You can craft them entirely from elder guardian drops and prismarine shards.
How does loyalty enchantment work now?
When you throw a loyalty-enchanted trident, it returns to you along with all mob drops—items and experience orbs included. This means you can farm mobs from a distance and collect everything automatically.
What happens if I throw a loyalty trident into the void?
Instead of being deleted, the trident will return to you. This prevents losing your enchanted trident to accidents in the end or other dangerous situations.
Do tridents do more damage underwater?
Yes, this mod increases trident damage when used in water, making them more viable for aquatic combat compared to vanilla Minecraft.
How do I repair a trident?
Place your damaged trident and prismarine shards in an anvil. The shards will repair the durability, so you don't need to craft a new trident every time.
Does impaling work differently in this mod?
Yes, impaling now works like Bedrock Edition: any mob that is in contact with water or rain takes increased damage, not just aquatic mobs. This makes impaling useful in rainy weather or near water sources.
What slot does my trident return to when I pick it up?
The trident always returns to the inventory slot you threw it from, making it easier to keep your hotbar organized during combat.
Can I use this mod with other mods that change tridents?
Compatibility depends on how other mods modify trident mechanics. If you experience conflicts, check the mod's issue tracker or community forums for known incompatibilities.
