Is it better to throw or melee with a trident?

Whether throwing or using a trident in melee is "better" depends on the game, but generally, melee offers higher consistent damage per hit (like 9 hearts in Minecraft) but with lower overall durability, while throwing provides a ranged option with slightly less per-hit damage (8 hearts) but gains massive utility with enchantments like Loyalty (returns to you) or Riptide (fast travel), making it superior for mobility and utility despite lower raw damage potential compared to enchanted melee/bows..

Do tridents lose durability when you throw them?

Yes, in Minecraft, tridents lose 1 durability point every time they are thrown, regardless of whether they hit a mob, another entity, or just the ground/miss, and this applies to both Java & Bedrock Editions, though Bedrock has unique non-despawning behavior for Loyalty tridents. You must retrieve it or wait for Loyalty to bring it back to use it again.

What makes a trident do more damage?

A Minecraft trident does more damage with the Impaling enchantment, which boosts damage against aquatic mobs (or wet mobs in Bedrock), and by landing critical hits, especially while falling or using Riptide; combining these with Loyalty (for return) and Channeling (lightning) makes it a powerful, versatile tool for water combat and storms, but it needs these specific enchants as it lacks standard ones like Sharpness.

Is channeling or riptide better?

In Minecraft, Channeling summons lightning to strike mobs when the trident hits them during a thunderstorm, while Riptide launches the player forward when thrown in water or rain, acting as fast travel or a mobility boost, making them mutually exclusive for the same trident. Choose Channeling for special effects (like changing mob types or getting mob heads) and combat, or Riptide for quick movement and elytra boosting; many players use separate tridents for each purpose.

What is the best trident enchantment combo?

The best trident combo depends on your goal: for Combat, use Loyalty III + Impaling V + Channeling I + Unbreaking III + Mending I to deal damage and summon lightning; for Mobility, use Riptide III + Unbreaking III + Mending I (add Impaling V for water combat) to launch yourself for fast travel. Loyalty and Riptide are mutually exclusive, so you choose one or the other, but both combat and mobility tridents benefit from Unbreaking and Mending for infinite use.

What is Minecraft's strongest weapon?

The "best" weapon in Minecraft depends on the situation, but generally, the Netherite Sword (with Sharpness V) is the top all-rounder, the Netherite Axe excels in PvP for burst damage, and the new Mace is incredible for high fall-damage tactics, while a fully enchanted Bow remains essential for ranged combat. For true "god-tier" power, players craft "illegal" combinations, but for standard survival, Netherite gear reigns supreme.

What are the rarest enchantments in Minecraft?

The rarest enchantment in Minecraft is arguably Wind Burst (Level 3) for the Mace, as it's exclusive to Ominous Vaults with a very low chance (around 1-3%) and isn't obtainable from enchanting tables or villagers, requiring many Trial Chambers to find. Other contenders for rarity include Soul Speed (Bastions) and Swift Sneak (Ancient Cities), as they're structure-locked and harder to get than common enchants, though still more accessible than Wind Burst. Treasure enchantments like Mending, Frost Walker, and Curse of Vanishing are also rare as they're not on the enchanting table, but are often found in chests or from trading.
