Channeling is a Minecraft enchantment that lets a Trident summon lightning when it hits a target during a thunderstorm.
The enchantment can strike an entity or a lightning rod with lightning, making it useful for extra damage, setting nearby ground on fire, and triggering special mob transformations. It only has one level, Channeling I, and cannot be used with Riptide.
How Channeling Works
A Trident enchanted with Channeling summons a lightning bolt when thrown at an entity or lightning rod during a thunderstorm.
There are limits. The target must be exposed to the open sky. Lightning will not strike if the target is underwater or standing beneath cover.
During regular rain, Channeling can still summon lightning only if the Trident hits a lightning rod. It will not work on mobs in normal rain.
How to Get Channeling
Players can get Channeling through an Enchanting Table or by applying an enchanted book with an Anvil.
With an Enchanting Table, placing a Trident and Lapis Lazuli may offer Channeling as one of the available enchantments. A setup with 15 bookshelves improves enchantment options.
Channeling books can also be found through fishing, villager trading, or loot from structures such as Mineshafts, Desert Pyramids, Ocean Ruins, Strongholds, Ancient Cities, and Trial Chambers.
Channeling vs Riptide
Channeling is mainly a combat enchantment, while Riptide is for movement. Since the two are incompatible, players must choose one.
Channeling is better for summoning lightning, damaging mobs, and creating effects such as turning a Creeper into a Charged Creeper. Riptide is better for mobility, launching players forward when they are in water or when it is raining.
Advancements Linked to Channeling
Channeling can help complete Minecraft advancements, including Very Very Frightening, which requires striking a villager with lightning.
It is also tied to Surge Protector, where players must protect a villager from lightning without starting a fire.
TL;DR:
Channeling lets a Trident summon lightning during thunderstorms when it hits an exposed target or lightning rod. It is useful for combat, fire effects, Charged Creepers, and certain advancements.
