'''Impaling''' is an [[Minecraft:enchantment]] applied to [[Minecraft:trident]]s that substantially increases damage against [[Minecraft:aquatic]] mobs,{{Only|je|short=1}} or increases damage against entities in water or rain.{{Only|be|short=1}}

== Obtaining ==
Impaling can be obtained from [[Minecraft:enchanting table]]s, drops from mobs that have spawned in a [[Minecraft:raid]],{{only|bedrock}} books obtained by [[Minecraft:fishing]], [[Minecraft:monster room]] chests, librarian [[Minecraft:villager]]s, and non-village [[Minecraft:structure]] loot.

== Usage ==
Each level of Impaling adds 2.5 ({{hp|2|notag=1}} × {{frac|1|1|4}}) extra damage per hit. In {{BE}}, the values are rounded down to the nearest whole number. This applies both to the trident projectile and in melee combat.

{{IN|java}}, only [[Minecraft:aquatic mobs]] receive the extra damage. Aquatic mobs include [[Minecraft:axolotl]]s, [[Minecraft:dolphin]]s, [[Minecraft:guardian]]s, [[Minecraft:elder guardian]]s, [[Minecraft:nautilus]]es, [[Minecraft:zombie nautilus]]es, [[Minecraft:squid]], [[Minecraft:glow squid]], [[Minecraft:tadpole]]s, [[Minecraft:turtle]]s, and [[Minecraft:fish|all variants of fish]], but not [[Minecraft:drowned]],<ref>{{bug|MC-128249||Drowned are not affected by impaling enchantment|WAI}}</ref> as drowned are classified purely as undead mobs and not underwater mobs. A thrown trident with Impaling I kills the majority of these mobs in one hit (≤10 HP), whereas an Impaling III trident is needed to kill a nautilus or zombie nautilus in one hit (15 HP) or a turtle or guardian in two hits (30 HP), and an Impaling V trident is needed to kill an elder guardian in four hits (80 HP).

{{IN|bedrock}}, the damage applies to ''all'' mobs and players when in contact with water: underwater, in flowing water, and in rain.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-34025||Impaling enchantment works with all entities and just when they are in water or rain|WAI}}</ref>

In the [[Minecraft:Java Edition Combat Test]]s, Impaling has both of these effects.

=== Damage per hit ===
These tables detail how much damage is done per attack based on the level of enchantment used, assuming the target is not wearing armor and the attack is fully charged.{{only|java}} While both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition add {{hp|2.5}} per level, Bedrock Edition rounds down to the nearest whole number which makes Impaling I, Impaling III, and Impaling V weaker than Java Edition.

=== Specific cases ===
If Impaling is applied to a [[Minecraft:bow]] by use of [[Minecraft:command]]s or an [[Minecraft:anvil]] in Creative, the enchantment affects the weapon's [[Minecraft:arrow]]s. If Impaling is applied to a [[Minecraft:crossbow]] by use of commands or an anvil in Creative, the enchantment affects weapon's arrows but not its [[Minecraft:firework rocket]]s.

==Incompatibilities==
Impaling is incompatible with [[Minecraft:Sharpness]], [[Minecraft:Smite]], [[Minecraft:Bane of Arthropods]], [[Minecraft:Density]], [[Minecraft:Breach]], and [[Minecraft:Cleaving]]{{upcoming|Java Combat Tests|nocat=1}}, but in Survival these incompatibilities can only be encountered with [[Minecraft:enchanted book]]s, as no weapon types have access to both Impaling and one of the other aforementioned enchantments. If [[Minecraft:command]]s are used to have two or more of these enchantments on the same item, their effects stack.{{only|java}}
