Channeling is a trident enchantment that produces lightning.

Obtaining [ ]

Channeling is available from enchantment tables, raid drops,‌^{[ Bedrock Edition simply ]} books obtained by fishing, minecart chests, dungeon chests, librarian villagers, and from chests constitute in Overworld non-village structures.

Usage [ ]

Channeling summons a lightning commodities when a mob is hit by a thrown trident if in that location is currently a thunderstorm occurring.

The mob must exist exposed to the open up sky for the enchantment to work. This enchantment allows the thespian to change creepers into charged creepers, villagers into witches, pigs into zombified piglins, and mooshrooms into their opposite color (red into brown and vice versa).

In Coffee Edition, Channeling doesn't affect mobs in some circumstances^[1] ^[2] ^[three]. A mob cannot exist: in water , in lava , in powder snow , in a cobweb , on soul sand , on a beloved block , on snow (if snow layer is 8), in a minecart or in a boat while being hit with this enchantment. Mobs in minecarts and boats tin can be struck only if passive.

Nevertheless, it should exist noted that in the circumstances stated above, fifty-fifty though a lightning cannot exist summoned if the mob itself is hit by a Channeling trident, they are yet affected past the lightning if it strikes nearby. For instance, if a Channeling trident hits an armor stand next to a creeper in water, the lightning is summoned equally normal, and the creeper becomes charged from being in the affected radius of the lightning.

Channeling tridents thrown at lightning rods always create lightning without the need for a mob.

Lightning from Channeling never spawns a skeleton horse.
