Before we tell you how to get the Riptide enchantment, you need to find the trident. To get the trident, go to the ocean biome and find Drowned mobs. Killing Drowned will give it to you. But keep in mind that the drop chance of this weapon is a little, so you will have to kill many mobs. Look for Drowned with a trident in hand and use weapons with the Looting enchantment to increase your chances. Once you get the trident, you can apply the Riptide enchantment to it.
There are several ways to get the Riptide enchantment, and next, we will tell you about each of them:
- Use Enchanting Table. Accumulate 30 levels, and put a trident and three lazurite on the Enchanting Table. You will get the desired enchantment after a few attempts.
- Use the anvil and the book with the Riptide enchantment. You can find an enchanted book in any dungeon and abandoned mine, but the chance of this enchantment book spawning is minimal. We advise you to go fishing and catch the Riptide book. Use a fishing rod with the Luck of the Sea and Lure enchantments. After spending 20-30 minutes fishing, you will receive the coveted book.
Once you have the book Riptide Enchantment, use the anvil to combine the book and the trident. As we said earlier, some enchantments have their drawbacks. You can quickly move around the game world using a trident with Riptide, but you will also receive fall damage. To mitigate this effect, put some suitable enchantments on your boots. You can also use Elytra to speed up your journey even more.
