Description from the author on Modrinth

[](lunapixel.studio/discord) [](https://x.com/Fuss…)

Better Tridents brings some small, but much need improvements to tridents. Especially the loyalty enchantment is much more useful, and there's even a crafting recipe for tridents themselves!

  • Tridents finally have a crafting recipe! All three elder guardian in an ocean monument will each drop a new trident fragment item. Combine those three with a few prismarine shards, and there's your brand new trident!
  • Use a few prismarine shards to repair your trident in an anvil when it is about to run out of durability.
  • Tridents always return to the slot they are thrown from when picked up again.
  • When enchanted with loyalty, tridents accidentally thrown into the void return instead of being deleted from your world.
  • Any loot dropped by mobs including items and experience points will come flying at you together with any loyalty enchanted trident.
  • Impaling works as it does on Bedrock Edition: Any mob in contact with water or rain will receive increased damage, not just selected types of aquatic mobs.

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 SimplySarc for inspiring the trident crafting mechanic from their video on Improving The Update Aquatic.

🌟 releaseHUN for creating that dandy trident fragment texture.

🌟 Zero_DSRS_VX for the idea of repairing tridents in an anvil using prismarien shards from their Repairable Tridents mod.
