I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
TRIDENT BUFFS
This is a datapack which improves tridents in various ways!
They are stronger and more fun to use as an actual weapon, both thrown and melee.
Changes
General:
- Increased Durability to 750
- Increased throw velocity by 25%
- Thrown Tridents can ONLY be picked up by their owner
- Thrown Tridents create a damaging splash when landing in a block, which deals 6 Drowning damage to enemies near it
- Can change the Splash Damage Value with:
/scoreboard players set #trident_buffs aolu_tb_splash_damage xwith x being the new value.- Default is 6
- Splash damage does not hurt the Trident's Throwers or their Pets
- Damage ownership is from who/what threw the Trident
- Can change the Splash Damage Value with:
Enchantments:
- Impaling: Instead adds 0.8 Damage per Level against ALL entities
- Loyalty: Trident returns MUCH faster
- Channeling: In addition to its normal effects, it also grants Resistance to Lightning Damage when the Trident is held.
Hits apply a custom debuff called Static
- Static will cause the target to be struck by lightning 4 seconds later
- Further hits will reduce the timer by 1.5 seconds
- Tridents will also apply static to themselves when landing, but will get removed if it enters the air again
- [NEW] Aqua Orb: When a trident lands in a block, it spawns a turret above it which shoots water orbs at enemies near it.
- The orb will not target the thrower or their pets
- The orb has 20HP and can be killed before it expires
- It can be powered up with lightning to improve its duration, range and fire rate
- Cannot be combined with Loyalty or Riptide
- It is about as common as Channeling
