'''Channeling'''{{fn|Also known as '''Channelling''' in [[Minecraft:Language#Differences between English variants|other variants of English]].}} is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to [[Minecraft:trident]]s that causes a [[Minecraft:lightning]] strike when thrown at an [[Minecraft:entity]] or [[Minecraft:lightning rod]] during a [[Minecraft:thunderstorm]] ({{in|JE}} or at a lightning rod during any type of [[Minecraft:rain]] ({{in|BE}}.

== Obtaining ==
Channeling on enchanted books can be obtained from [[Minecraft:enchanting table]]s, drops from mobs spawned in a [[Minecraft:raid]],{{only|bedrock}} [[Minecraft:fishing]], librarian [[Minecraft:villager]]s, and in the following structures' loot chests: [[Minecraft:desert pyramid]], [[Minecraft:stronghold]], [[Minecraft:ocean ruins]], [[Minecraft:woodland mansion]], [[Minecraft:pillager outpost]], [[Minecraft:ancient city]], [[Minecraft:mineshaft]], [[Minecraft:dungeon]], [[Minecraft:jungle pyramid]]s, and from [[Minecraft:vault]]s in [[Minecraft:trial chambers]].

== Usage ==
Channeling summons a [[Minecraft:lightning bolt]] when an entity or lightning rod is hit by a thrown [[Minecraft:trident]], if there is currently a [[Minecraft:thunderstorm]] occurring. This applies to most entities that the trident can collide with: [[Minecraft:mob]]s, [[Minecraft:player]]s, [[Minecraft:armor stand]]s, [[Minecraft:boat]]s, [[Minecraft:minecart]]s, [[Minecraft:end crystal]]s, [[Minecraft:item frame]]s, [[Minecraft:painting]]s, [[Minecraft:leash knot]]s, and even [[Minecraft:shulker bullet]]s. It does not apply to ghast [[Minecraft:fireball]]s and [[Minecraft:wind charge]]s, and to entities that the trident can't collide with ([[Minecraft:small fireball]]s, [[Minecraft:arrow]]s, [[Minecraft:experience orb]]s, thrown [[Minecraft:item entities]], primed [[Minecraft:TNT]], [[Minecraft:falling block]]s, [[Minecraft:wither]] projectiles, and so on).

Channeling effectively increases [[Minecraft:projectile damage]] through its lightning bolt damage. Due to a bug regarding the duration of the lightning damage hitbox, the lightning from Channeling will occasionally not deal damage after the initial projectile hits.<ref>{{bug|305643||Lightning occasionally fails to deal its double damage tick correctly|Unresolved}}</ref>

|}

For the enchantment to work, there must not be [[Minecraft:opaque]] or partially transparent blocks at any position above the target entity. This enchantment allows the [[Minecraft:player]] to transform some mobs into different mobs.

Mobs struck by lightning summoned by this enchantment react in the same way as they would if struck by [[Minecraft:lightning]] normally. The following mobs transform into another mob when hit:
* {{EntityLink|Creeper}} into {{EntityLink|Charged Creeper}}
* {{EntityLink|Pig}} into {{EntityLink|Zombified Piglin}}
* {{EntityLink|Villager}} into {{EntityLink|Witch}}
* {{EntityLink|Mooshroom}} into {{EntityLink|Brown Mooshroom}}

As with a regular lightning strike, [[Minecraft:turtle]]s are instantly killed and drop a [[Minecraft:bowl]].

{{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 [[Minecraft:water]], [[Minecraft:lava]], [[Minecraft:powder snow]], [[Minecraft:cobweb]], on [[Minecraft:soul sand]], [[Minecraft:honey block]], [[Minecraft:mud]], or [[Minecraft:snow]] (if snow layer is 8) while being hit with this enchantment. Humanoid mobs in a [[Minecraft:minecart]] or in a [[Minecraft: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 [[Minecraft: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.

{{IN|bedrock}}, Channeling tridents thrown at [[Minecraft:lightning rod]]s during rain create lightning without the need for a thunderstorm.

Lightning bolts summoned by Channeling tridents are not redirected by lightning rods.

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

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