Drowned — master of Loyalty in Minecraft

Hello to all explorers and experimenters! I don’t know about you, but I love testing crazy ideas right in Minecraft. Recently I had a brilliant thought: what happens if you give a drowned a trident with the “Loyalty” enchantment? Will it return to the mob like to its true owner? First thought: “If it works — this will be wild!” Honestly, I couldn’t sleep until I tried.

Preparing for a real discovery

I went all in: grabbed my favorite “Loyalty III” trident, found the most curious drowned and… personally gifted him this wonder-weapon. The hypothesis is simple — the enchant should work for anyone holding the trident. I already pictured a swamp gang of drowned tossing boomerangs left and right.

The magic begins!

The moment of truth arrived. I bring the drowned onto land — he winds up, throws the trident and… I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes: a second later the weapon flashed and popped back into his hand! I think, maybe a fluke or only works on land? I wade into a river with the mob, try to provoke an attack. He throws again — and the trident zips back, in a way that you feel the magic works in water, in rain, even under a full moon. I was thrilled! It’s pure boomerang magic. Sometimes experiments just hit perfectly.

Reality exceeds expectations

Then it struck me: what if I try “Loyalty” tridents with several drowned? I handed out a couple more enchanted weapons — exact same effect! A whole crew putting on a show of returning tridents… Honestly, I felt like a wizard who just found a way to make mobs stronger than the player. If mobs could rejoice, these would be ecstatic. I didn’t expect a crazy idea to become such a workable mechanic. Joy far outweighed any disappointment.

Verdict: you can trust the drowned!

My Minecraft experiment flipped my view: “Loyalty” brings the trident back not only to the player, but also to the drowned! So if you decide to arm an underwater zombie — be careful, an extra trident really can return to him and fly again. My fantasy of a boomerang-drowned army is now real, and the game got a lot more fun!

Have you tried similar tricks? Maybe someone got an even more unexpected result or a crazy experiment idea? Share in the comments — I’m very curious about your thoughts and experiences!

Pros of the experiment:

• Confirmed in practice that “Loyalty” works with drowned as well.
• Got a unique spectacle and a rush of emotions — not something you see every run.
• Now I know you can build a super-dangerous zombie army with returning tridents.
• Great reason for new discussions and joint experiments with readers.

Cons:

• Fights with drowned are now much riskier — their tridents don’t get lost, they return!
• Spent my best enchantments to buff enemies.
• Risk of giving yourself a headache if you experiment too hard!

The moral is simple: sometimes the craziest ideas turn out true. Don’t hesitate to experiment and share your results!
