'''Channeling''' is an [[enchantment]] applied to [[trident]]s that causes a [[lightning]] strike when thrown at a [[mob]] during a [[thunderstorm]], or, {{in|be}}, a [[lightning rod]] during any type of [[rain]].

== Obtaining ==
Channeling can be obtained from [[enchantment tables]], drops from mobs that have spawned in a [[raid]],{{only|bedrock}} books obtained by [[fishing]], librarian [[villager]]s, and in the following structures loot chests: [[Desert Pyramid]], [[Stronghold]], [[Ocean Ruins]], [[Mansion]], [[Pillager Outpost]], [[Ancient City]], [[Mineshaft]], [[Dungeon]], [[Jungle Pyramid]]s, and from [[vault]]s in [[Trial Chambers]].

== 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.{{Verify|Some blocks do allow lightning through}} This enchantment allows the [[player]] to change [[creeper]]s into [[charged creeper]]s, [[villager]]s into [[witch]]es, [[pig]]s into [[zombified piglin]]s, and [[mooshroom]]s into their opposite color (red into brown and vice versa).

{{IN|java}}, Channeling doesn't affect mobs in some circumstances<ref>{{bug|MC-125773}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-134920}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-217528}}</ref>. A mob cannot be: in {{BlockLink|water}}, {{BlockLink|lava}}, {{BlockLink|powder snow}}, {{BlockLink|cobweb}}, on {{BlockLink|soul sand}}, {{BlockLink|honey block}}, {{BlockLink|mud}}, or {{BlockLink|snow}} (if snow layer is 8) while being hit with this enchantment. Humanoid mobs in a {{EntityLink|minecart}} or in a {{EntityLink|id=oak boat|boat}} which have the "riding" posture (see {{slink|Riding|Posture}}) also can't be struck with lightning, but other mobs in vehicles can be struck.

However, it should be noted that in the circumstances stated above, even though lightning cannot be summoned if the mob itself is hit by a Channeling trident, they are still ''affected'' by the lightning if it strikes nearby. For instance, if a Channeling trident hits an [[armor stand]] next to a creeper in water, the lightning is summoned as normal, and the creeper becomes charged from being in the affected radius of the lightning.

Channeling tridents thrown at [[lightning rod]]s during rain create lightning without the need for a mob or a thunderstorm{{only|bedrock}}

Lightning created with a Channeling trident cannot be redirected into a lightning rod.

Lightning from a Channeling trident never spawns a [[skeleton trap]].

A [[drowned]] wielding a trident with Channeling cannot summon lightning.

== Incompatibilities ==
Channeling and [[Riptide]] are mutually exclusive. If combined using commands, Riptide supersedes Channeling.
