Not Enough Tridents
Vanilla Minecraft gives you exactly one trident, and getting it means farming drowned mobs for hours on end. The Not Enough Tridents add-on throws that limitation out the window. This mod introduces a whole arsenal of powered tridents, each with its own special ability, plus a new crafting material called Powered Stone that ties the entire progression system together. If you have ever wanted a trident that explodes on impact or teleports you across a ravine, this is the add-on you have been waiting for.
What Does Not Enough Tridents Add to the Game?
The core idea is simple: tridents should be more than a rare drop with a single moveset. Not Enough Tridents for Minecraft expands the weapon into a category of its own. Each powered trident comes with a distinct effect, and you unlock them by crafting rather than grinding mob spawners. The add-on covers several ability types:
- Teleportation tridents that reposition you instantly on throw or hit
- Explosive tridents that detonate on impact for area damage
- Burning tridents that set targets alight and leave fire in their wake
- Additional variants built around the same Powered Stone crafting chain
Because every powered trident is crafted rather than looted, the mod rewards players who enjoy resource gathering and recipe discovery. You will not need to camp a drowned farm for an entire evening just to try out a new weapon.
Powered Stones and Powered Tridents: The Crafting Loop
How to Get Powered Stones
Powered Stones are the backbone of the entire mod. You craft them by collecting a set of resources that each represent a form of stored power. The exact ingredient list is intentionally left for players to discover, but the general flow is straightforward: gather the base materials, combine them at a crafting table, and you end up with a Powered Stone ready for the next step.
How to Craft Powered Tridents
Once you have Powered Stones in hand, you mix them with a trident to produce a powered variant. The combination determines which ability the finished weapon carries. This two-stage system keeps progression readable: first you build the power source, then you apply it to the weapon. If you get stuck, the mod's Discord server maintains a dedicated help channel where all crafting recipes are posted, so you are never left guessing for long.
If you would rather skip manual file management entirely, the foxygame.net launcher handles the setup for you, letting you add Not Enough Tridents to a fresh profile with a single click and keeping it updated automatically whenever a new build drops.
Combat in Practice: Throwing and Holding Powered Tridents
Powered tridents behave differently depending on how you use them. In hand, they function as melee weapons with their ability active on hit. Thrown, they carry that same effect to range, which makes them genuinely flexible in fights. A teleport trident thrown at a distant ledge can close a gap in one motion, while an explosive trident turns a cluster of hostile mobs into a crater. The burning variant is especially useful against groups, since the fire spreads pressure across multiple targets at once.
This dual behavior means you can build a small loadout of tridents and swap between them based on the situation, rather than relying on a single weapon for every encounter.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Not Enough Tridents is built for modern Minecraft releases and is distributed as a Forge mod, which means you will need a Forge profile matching your game version before anything else. Version compatibility matters here: mixing a mod build with the wrong Minecraft release is the most common cause of a crash on startup, so always check that the two line up before you launch.
How to Install Not Enough Tridents
Installation follows the standard Forge workflow, and it takes only a few minutes:
- Install the correct Forge version for your Minecraft release
- Download Not Enough Tridents from a trusted source and confirm the file matches your game version
- Place the .jar file into your mods folder
- Launch the Forge profile and verify the mod loads without errors
If you plan to play with friends, remember that everyone on the server needs the same mod version installed, otherwise clients will be rejected on connection.
Final Thoughts
Not Enough Tridents solves a real gap in vanilla combat by turning a single rare weapon into a full progression tree with meaningful choices. The Powered Stone system gives you something to work toward, the ability variants give you reasons to craft more than one trident, and the crafting-based acquisition removes the worst part of the original grind. Whether you are building an arena, running a survival server, or just want a trident that does something spectacular, this add-on earns its place in your mod list.
