Drowned Drop Tridents
Drowned Drop Tridents changes how often drowned mobs carry tridents, so tridents can be obtained more often on a server.
What it does
The mod changes the drop rates and spawn chances of tridents on drowned mobs. A drowned that spawns with a trident does so at a configured rate, and the trident drop chance on defeat is adjusted to match, so the same change applies whether a drowned is killed by a player or dies another way.
Only the server needs to run the mod to apply the new rates, while players may install it or leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5. The latest file is 1.1 for 1.21.5, released on 2025-03-27. The mod is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and it is not open source.
Key features
Adjustable trident drops
The drop chance for a trident carried by a drowned is changed by the mod, rather than left at the vanilla value.
Spawn with tridents
Drowned can be set to spawn holding a trident more or less often, including the rate for drowned that spawn with a fishing rod.
Matched drowned behavior
The rate changes apply to all drowned in the world, so the spawn and drop behavior stays consistent.

Use cases
Servers that want more tridents

Balancing trident access
Server owners who want tridents to stay rare can keep the rates lower than the defaults.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to change how tridents are obtained from drowned mobs. Players only need the mod if their client is meant to match the server's settings.

Tridents are very annoying to get in Java, while they are practically everywhere in bedrock. This datapack changes drowned to match the drowned in Bedrock by changing their drop chances and chance to spawn with tridents. ### Changes - Trident drop Chances 8.5% --> 25% - Drowned that spawn with tridents 6.25% (1 in…
