Loyalty Maximum level III Primary items Secondary items None Enchantment weight 5 Incompatible with Riptide

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.

The speed of returning depends on the level. Over ten blocks, the formula in seconds to return is 4 - level, so level 1 loyalty takes three seconds to return over ten blocks, whereas level three would take one second for every ten blocks.

When the player is traveling between dimensions, the trident attempts to return to the player but stays in the current dimension. For example, if a player throws a trident while in the nether and goes to the overworld the tridents stays in the nether and does not despawn. As soon as the player returns to the nether, the trident resumes returning to the player.

Usage [ edit ]

When a trident enchanted with Loyalty is thrown and comes into contact with any block or entity, it returns after a time interval to the player who threw it. Higher enchantments decrease the waiting time to return.

In Java Edition, throwing a trident into the Void effectively destroys the trident; it never returns because it hits no block or entity.[until JE Combat Tests] In Bedrock Edition, the trident returns after traveling around 15 blocks in the void. A Loyalty-enchanted trident does not return when thrown by a dispenser.

Incompatibilities [ edit ]

Loyalty and Riptide are mutually exclusive. If the two are combined via commands, Riptide still functions normally but the trident can no longer be thrown.
