What Does Riptide Do in Minecraft
Tridents are a weapon that can be thrown. However, if the Riptide enchantment is applied to tridents, then you can lunge in the direction you are facing instead. This lunge only occurs while the player is in water or exposed to rain. Unless the player is wet, tridents with Riptide cannot be thrown at all.
The distance of the lunge varies based on the enchantment’s level. At its maximum level of three, the trident can throw you a maximum of 21 blocks. This is one of the fastest methods of travel in the game, especially when paired with an elytra. At its highest, you can go upwards of 100 blocks per second.
Note that this enchantment is incompatible with the Loyalty and Channeling enchantments. This is because both of these rely on the trident being thrown away from the player.
How To Obtain the Riptide Enchantment in Minecraft
The primary method of obtaining Riptide is through the enchantment table. A trident can be directly enchanted with Riptide in this way. However, that’s not the only way to get Riptide. Some of the other ways to obtain the Riptide enchantment are:
- Fishing: Fishing has a rare chance to get you a Riptide enchantment book.
- Dungeons: Chests in dungeons occasionally contain enchanted books.
- Vaults: Vaults in Trial Chambers can contain enchanted books.
- Loot: Loot found in various structures such as mineshafts, pyramids, woodland mansions, etc. You cannot obtain it from loot in villages.
- Trading: Lastly, a villager librarian can trade you enchanted books with Riptide. Additionally, if a librarian is not offering Riptide, you can reset their trades by destroying their lectern and placing it back down.
In Bedrock Edition, enchanted books with Riptide can also be dropped by illagers in a raid. That was everything you need to know about getting the Riptide enchantment in Minecraft.
