Instead, you’ll need to grab one of these from the cold, dead, soggy hands of a Drowned mob, one of the new zombies introduced with the Aquatic update. Interestingly, you cannot craft a Minecraft trident, so you can’t actually find a recipe for this underwater weapon. Plus, if you work on your aim you can throw a trident up to 80 blocks away. The trident is easily one of the best Minecraft weapons as not only can it be used in melee and ranged combat, but even its non-enchanted form can dish out more than a diamond sword, although its attack speed is a little lower. The Minecraft trident has been in Minecraft Java Edition since the Aquatic update (Java Edition 1.13) as a rare drop from Drowned enemies.
