Trident Buffs

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 x with 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

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
