by Kishku7

What it does

Trident Killers 4 Java brings Bedrock-style trident killer designs to Java Edition. A thrown trident pushes into a piston lock so the hitbox of a mob is damaged while the kill still counts for the throwing player, which means loot, XP and kill credit go to the player even when that player is offline. Damage is applied to mobs only, and the trident stays on vanilla piston movement rules.

The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and clients behave as they do on vanilla. Server owners install it on a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt server; Fabric API is required on Fabric and Quilt. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, with snapshot builds published, and the code is not open source. The license is All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Trident killer farms

    Thrown tridents push into a piston lock and damage mobs, supporting the common Bedrock-style killer layouts.

  2. Player kill credit

    Kills are credited to the player who threw the trident, so loot and XP are collected even when that player is offline.

  3. Player-only damage

    The trident damages mobs only, and XP suppression keeps the kill zone from acting on players.

  4. Carpet and datapack tricks

    Build pieces with carpet and datapack tricks, and the farms work in the game level without extra setup.

  5. Blocks, items and commands

    The mod adds blocks, items and commands that complete the killer designs.

Use cases

Mob farms on a server

Server owners build piston-based killer farms that give XP and loot to the player who threw the trident.

Offline loot collection

Because kill credit goes to the throwing player, drops keep flowing when that player is away from the server.

Who it’s for: Server owners who run mob farms and want Bedrock-style trident killers on Java Edition. Players do not need the mod on their clients.

Bedrock-style trident killers for Minecraft: Java Edition. Server-side, no dependencies. Throw a trident, push a piston into it to lock it, and the locked trident kills mobs in its hitbox with full player credit - the core of XP and drop farms. Kill credit, Looting, and player-only drops all work, even while you are…
