Impaling is an enchantment for a trident, causing the trident to deal extra damage on each hit against aquatic mobs[Java Edition only], or extra damage to mobs in water[Bedrock Edition only].
Usage[]
Each level of Impaling adds 2.5 (
× 1 1⁄4) extra damage per hit.
In Java Edition, only aquatic mobs receive the extra damage. Aquatic mobs include axolotls, dolphins, guardians, elder guardians, squid, glow squids, turtles and all variants of fish, but not drowned,[1] as drowned are classified as undead mobs rather than underwater mobs.
In Bedrock Edition, as well as in Java Edition Combat Test 4 and after, the damage applies to all mobs and players when in contact with water: underwater, in flowing water, and in rain.[2]
