DatapacksJava
Tridents Drop Always
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.
This datapack will change Drowned to have a 100% drop chance if they spawn carrying a trident.
In Vanilla, Drowned that spawn with a trident have a very small chance to drop it when they are killed. Especially in the early game, this encourages you to wait for it to despawn instead of fighting it since there's likely no reward anyway and they can be quite dangerous.
