Ways To Obtain the Channeling Enchantment in Minecraft

There are multiple ways to get this enchantment. Some methods include:
- Fishing: You have a chance of obtaining this enchantment book via fishing. Having enchantments like Luck of the Sea and Lure can help this process become just a bit easier and faster.
- Librarian Villagers: Perhaps one of the most consistent and guaranteed methods to obtain this enchantment. You can break and place a lectern until the villager sells you the correct item.
- Enchantment Table: Placing a Trident into the enchantment table will have a decent chance of getting you the Channeling enchantment.

How To Use Channeling in Minecraft

This enchantment calls down lightning whenever you toss your trident and hit an entity. However, you should note that this effect only works in certain conditions.
- Firstly, the current weather must be a thunderstorm.
- Secondly, the mob must not be under any roof, which would disconnect it from the open sky. So, it does not work underground or if any block is present above the mob.
Naturally, you can guess that this has a lot of potential to be put to use. Firstly, you will be doing just a bit more damage with the lightning striking down at your desired spot.
However, the main purpose is used for changing and summoning mobs. For instance, you can use lightning to change villagers into witches and a normal creeper into a charged creeper. A charged creeper has a higher chance of getting you a mob head from the explosion, making this enchantment quite useful.
