Making Tridents More Fun for PvP

Hi Mojang Team,

I hope you’re doing well! I’ve been playing Minecraft for a long time, and I love how unique tridents are, but I feel like they’re kind of underpowered in PvP. I wanted to share an idea that could make trident combat more fun and strategic.

I’m thinking of a new trident-only enchantment called “Maelstrom.” It would boost damage against all targets, including players and mobs, and could scale with levels so it’s powerful but not game-breaking. The goal is to reward skillful aiming and timing rather than just raw damage.

Some extra ideas that could work well with this:

  • Channeling works in rain, so it’s more reliable during combat.

  • A short stun effect when lightning hits a player, making trident combos more tactical.

I think changes like these could make tridents a real PvP option, without breaking balance. Thanks so much for considering this! I’d love to see tridents get more love in future updates.

Best,

    I think that making impaling do the extra damage to any mob underwater or in rain like in bedrock and making channeling better (and also make it work during rain as you said) could be enough. Impaling does A LOT of damage, but to so little mobs that it isn't worth it. Making it work with any mob but with a specific condition would make it worth it to do more damage than the axe and faster with some strategy or during rain and in underwater fights. Also maybe add more levels to channeling so in level 1 works like it does now, at level 2 it works during rain too and MAYBE a third level that makes it work at any time (but that could be too op)
