How to Channeling a Trident?

You can add the Channeling enchantment to any trident using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Then throw the enchanted trident at a mob in the rain, and watch a lightning bolt strike the mob just after the trident hits it. The maximum level for the Channeling enchantment is Level 1.

Why can't I put channeling on my trident?

Why won't my channeling trident work? Channeling requires a thunderstorm in order to work. However, if it is thundering and your trident still won't spawn a lightning strike, ensure you are hitting a mob with the ranged throw of a trident.

Should I put channeling on my trident?

It is completely up to you. The only benefit of getting channelling on a trident is to collect mob heads by making charged creepers or turning villagers into witches or turning pigs into zombie pigmen.
