Channeling is a trident enchantment that produces lightning.

Obtaining [ ]

Channeling is available from enchantment tables, raid drops,‌^{[ Bedrock Edition merely ]} books obtained past fishing, minecart chests, dungeon chests, librarian villagers, and from chests found in Overworld non-village structures.

Usage [ ]

Channeling summons a lightning bolt when a mob is striking by a thrown trident if there is currently a thunderstorm occurring.

The mob must be exposed to the open up sky for the enchantment to work. This enchantment allows the histrion to change creepers into charged creepers, villagers into witches, pigs into zombified piglins, and mooshrooms into their opposite colour (blood-red into chocolate-brown and vice versa).

In Java Edition, Channeling doesn't touch mobs in some circumstances^[1] ^[2] ^[3]. A mob cannot be: in water , in lava , in pulverization snow , in a fiber , on soul sand , on a dear cake , on snowfall (if snow layer is 8), in a minecart or in a gunkhole while being hit with this enchantment. Mobs in minecarts and boats can be struck only if passive.

Still, it should exist noted that in the circumstances stated above, even though a lightning cannot be summoned if the mob itself is hit past a Channeling trident, they are still afflicted by the lightning if information technology strikes nearby. For instance, if a Channeling trident hits an armor stand up next to a creeper in water, the lightning is summoned every bit normal, and the creeper becomes charged from existence in the affected radius of the lightning.

Channeling tridents thrown at lightning rods always create lightning without the need for a mob.

Lightning from Channeling never spawns a skeleton horse.

Incompatibilities [ ]

Channeling and Riptide are mutually exclusive. If combined using commands, Riptide supersedes Channeling.
