Background

The Channeling enchantment can be added to a trident. With this enchantment, your trident will summon a lightning bolt at a mob if you throw the trident and it hits the mob (while its standing in the rain).

TIP #1: The trident will only summon a lightning bolt if it is raining and the mob has open sky above it.

TIP #2: Switch your weather to "rain and thunder" when you wish to use the channeling enchantment to summon a lightning bolt at a mob.

You can add the Channeling enchantment to any trident using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Then throw the enchanted trident at a mob in the rain, and watch a lightning bolt strike the mob just after the trident hits it.

The maximum level for the Channeling enchantment is Level 1. This means that you can only enchant a trident with up to Channeling I, and nothing higher for this enchantment.

Hold the Enchanted Trident

Once you have a trident that is enchanted with Channeling, find a mob in the rain that you want to target (you need to be in a biome that is raining). Then hold the enchanted trident in your hand and aim the trident like you would a bow.

In this tutorial, we want to use Channeling on a creeper and summon a lightning bolt at it.

Now throw the trident like you would shoot an arrow from your bow.

Once the trident hits the mob, a lightning bolt will be summoned and also strike the mob. In this tutorial, we have thrown the trident at a creeper. Now the creeper will be struck with lightning and if it doesn't die, it will turn into a charged creeper.

Make sure you pick up your trident afterwards so that you can use it again.

TIP: Add the Loyalty enchantment to your trident so the trident always returns!

Congratulations, you just learned all about the Channeling enchantment in Minecraft.
