What Is the Loyalty Enchantment?

Loyalty is an enchantment applying to a trident, causing it to return to the owner once thrown. If the player dies while the trident is returning, the trident then drops in item form and is susceptible to despawning.

Is Loyalty a good enchantment?

While Loyalty is somewhat niche in its use, it's still a great enchantment to have at your disposal. Not only is it useful, but it's straight-up cool as well.

Is Loyalty better than Riptide?

It's definitely better to have Loyalty on trident - and Loyalty is incompatible with Riptide. Both Channeling and Riptide are of marginal use. Riptide is somewhat useful if your gameplay is heavily focused on "sea and air", its use on land is near zero (and before anyone argues about rain - how often do you see rain?).
