Aiming Tridents Accurately

Charging Your Trident

Tridents behave differently than bows due to their unique weight and throwing mechanics. To master them, hold down your use button to wind up a trident throw. As you charge the weapon, the client-side mod provides an immediate aiming visual, projecting a live trajectory line directly from your character.

Reading the Flight Path

Follow the path displayed on your screen to see where the trident will arc through the air. The physics simulation calculates projectile speed and gravity to mark the exact block or mob target box where your trident will hit. By observing the predicted landing spot before you release, you can quickly adjust your pitch and yaw. This allows you to reliably hit distant targets without guessing, making it an excellent tool for training your aim in singleplayer worlds.
