How to Craft a Trident

In the vanilla game, obtaining a trident requires locating rare trident-wielding drowned mobs and hoping for a lucky drop. With the Craftable Trident Mod active, you can skip mob hunting entirely and build the weapon directly.

Setting Up the Crafting Station

Because the recipe requires multiple slots to complete, you cannot craft a trident using the player's default 2x2 inventory crafting grid.

1. Gather wood planks and construct a standard 3x3 Crafting Table.

2. Place the Crafting Table on the ground and interact with it to open the full crafting interface.

Assembling the Trident

The mod introduces a moderately expensive crafting recipe designed to keep weapon progression balanced while removing random mob drops.

1. Open your Crafting Table interface.

2. Click the green recipe book icon to review unlocked patterns, or enter "Trident" into the recipe search bar.

3. Arrange the required balanced crafting materials into the 3x3 grid as indicated by the mod's recipe layout.

4. Once the pattern is placed correctly, the completed trident will appear in the output slot.

5. Drag the trident into your inventory to begin using it for melee or ranged combat.
