Tridents are hard to get<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re not craftable. You need luck, loot, or time grinding drowned mobs. It&#8217;s a whole quest on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when you finally have one, it should feel worth it. But without the ability to combine enchantments freely, it just feels limited.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-riptide-is-super-situational\">2. Riptide is super situational<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Only works in water or rain. That&#8217;s it. If the sun\u2019s out and you\u2019re not in an ocean \u2014 tough luck. You basically have a glorified melee stick.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-loyalty-is-meh\">3. Loyalty is&hellip; meh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, it\u2019s cool that the trident returns to you. But unless you add <em>Channeling<\/em> or <em>Impaling<\/em>, it doesn\u2019t really shine. And compared to a good bow? It\u2019s underwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-the-combo-would-make-tridents-truly-useful\">4. The combo would make tridents truly useful<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine it: ranged damage when on land and insane mobility in water or rain. That\u2019s not broken \u2014 it\u2019s balanced versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Minecraft-Riptide-Enchant-trident-GIF.webp\" alt=\"Minecraft Riptide Enchantment\" class=\"wp-image-2029\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-modding-community-knows-whats-up\">The Modding Community Knows What&rsquo;s Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The moderators already let you combine them.
