Minecraft can be surprisingly dangerous, and players will want to find a nice weapon to keep them safe. The Trident is a solid melee and ranged weapon that is good for people who want to ensure their safety while adventuring in dangerous places. While Tridents can be improved with enchantments, they cannot be crafted, so players will want to take great care of them and repair them often.

An important tool for repairing the Trident will be the crafting table, as it will offer players a simple way to get the job done. Players can combine two damaged Tridents on a crafting table to repair them, although this will remove any enchantments they happen to benefit from, so it is not ideal.

Thankfully, that is not the only way to repair a Trident in Minecraft. Players also have the option of combing a damaged Trident with a new one at an anvil. The benefit to this is that the enchantments on the trident will be preserved if there are any, and players won't lose some potentially very strong advantages. Players with two Tridents who need repair and who are not worried about losing enchantments can place them both in a grindstone to get back one perfect Trident.

The final way to repair a Trident is by using the mending enhancement to fix it. Mending enhancement books can be found by fishing, looting chests, trading with villagers, or by turning a villager into a Librarian. Players can then place the Trident into an anvil and place the mending book in another slot.

Players who don't have a Trident will need to get one from a Drowned, one of the most terrifying hostile mobs in Minecraft. Drowned are zombies who have met their end in bodies of water and can spawn in any ocean biome or river biome at light level seven or less. If a player kills a Drowned, it will have a small chance to drop a Trident. This is the only way to get a Trident, and they cannot be crafted or obtained by any other means.

While it is possible for players to throw a Trident as a ranged attack, then pick the Trident back up, it is impossible for players to pick up Tridents that have been thrown by a Drowned. As such, the only way to get them is with some good old-fashioned mob farming near water.

Minecraft is available now on Mobile, New Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
