What it does

The mod adds a new item called the mechanical trident. It is crafted from copper and prismarine shards, which makes it a lower-cost option than the regular trident. Instead of losing durability with each throw, the mechanical trident holds charges that are refilled by right-clicking a water source. Its riptide enchantment can be used whenever the player tries it, even out of water. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod is published for Fabric and Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
