When to Use Channeling?

Usage. Channeling summons a lightning bolt when a mob is hit by a thrown trident if there is currently a thunderstorm occurring. The mob must be exposed to the open sky for the enchantment to work.

What can you use channeling for?

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.

Does it need to be thundering to use channeling?

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.
