Riptide is an enchantment to a trident, allowing the player to use the trident as a means of fast transportation.

Usage

Tridents enchanted with Riptide can be thrown only when a player stands in water, during snowy weather in certain biomes[note 1], or during rainy weather. In those situations, a thrown trident launches the player with it. Higher levels allow for traveling greater distances. Players can also reach higher heights by throwing a Riptide trident straight upwards.

If the player collides with a mob or another player, the trident deals throwing damage. Using Riptide consumes durability of the Trident regardless of whether or not the trident collides with a mob or player.

A thrown trident can hit multiple targets.‌[Bedrock Edition only]

Incompatibilities

Riptide is mutually exclusive with Loyalty and Channeling (although Loyalty and Channeling may be combined with each other).

Notes

  1. Riptide tridents do not work in biomes where it snows at all altitudes, see MC-128169
