Better Tridents

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

          Better Tridents brings some small, but much need improvements to tridents. Especially the loyalty enchantment is much more useful, and there's even a crafting recipe for tridents themselves! ▶️ Tridents finally have a crafting recipe! All three elder guardian in an ocean monument will each drop a new trident fragment item. Combine those three with a few prismarine shards, and there's your brand new trident! ▶️ Use a few prismarine shards to repair your trident in an anvil when it is about to run out of durability. ▶️ Tridents always return to the slot they are thrown from when picked up again. ▶️ When enchanted with loyalty, tridents accidentally thrown into the void return instead of being deleted from your world. ▶️ Any loot dropped by mobs including items and experience points will come flying at you together with any loyalty enchanted trident. ▶️ Impaling works as it does on Bedrock Edition: Any mob in contact with water or rain will receive increased damage, not just selected types of aquatic mobs. ⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER ⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE) ⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC) ⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC) If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement. For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config , named as MOD_ID-client.toml , MOD_ID-common.toml , or MOD_ID-server.toml , depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all. 🌟 SimplySarc for inspiring the trident crafting mechanic from their video on Improving The Update Aquatic . 🌟 releaseHUN for creating that dandy trident fragment texture. 🌟 Zero_DSRS_VX for the idea of repairing tridents in an anvil using prismarien shards from their Repairable Tridents mod.               

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Utility & QoL on Fabric, NeoForge, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Jun 19, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
