Trident Recall
by xelotex
Trident Recall lets a player call a thrown trident back to hand by right-clicking it mid-flight, with the trident's landing point becoming a target.
What it does
A thrown loyal trident can be recalled with a right-click while it is still in the air, instead of waiting for it to land. The hand has to be empty for the recall to work, and a sound confirms that it did. Dropped loyal items stay in the world as persistent entities rather than standard item entities, and the entity keeps its chunk loaded, which allows recall from a distance.
Loyal items record their owner and show it in the tooltip. An owner can also recall an item that a mob is carrying in its inventory, provided the mob has the CanPickUpLoot tag. A configurable delay of 1 second by default applies after a loyal item is thrown, and an input buffer of 0.2 seconds by default queues early recall attempts so they are not lost during that delay.
Trident Recall requires Forge and is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, where the latest file is 1.0.1, published 2026-06-06. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The author states that it works with mods that add trident-like weapons, and tested it with Simple Spears and Ice and Fire's tide trident, but could not get it working with Alex's Caves extinction spear.

How it compares
Crafts: Trident is a Forge option for 1.20.1 that also runs on client and server, but it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Fire Aspect Tridents covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.2 with the MIT License and is open source, so it reaches a range of versions that Trident Recall does not. Always Channel and Trident Void Notifier are server-side only, so players join without installing them, and Tridental covers 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 under All rights reserved.
