Minecraft’s many enchantments work to empower the user to have more power and uses with their many items. Like other survival games, weapons and other items are crucial to your success against what the world throws at you. This holds true with the Riptide enchantment, a power-up that can only be applied to Tridents. Here is what Riptide does and how you can get it.

What does the Riptide enchantment do?As stated above, Riptide is an enchantment that can only be applied to a Trident. When a trident has this power-up on it, the player will be dragged along with it whenever the item is thrown. This means that this enchantment is particularly great for travel purposes. However, the only times a Trident can be thrown is while in water or if you are in a snowy biome while it is snowing, or any biome where it is raining. There are three total levels available, with the higher ones giving more travel distance per throw. Also, there is a noticeable distance in travel per throw when you are in the water instead of in the rain or snow.
If you have an Elytra, combining a Trident with Riptide can make the flight much faster, even faster than with Fireworks, although only available during rain or snow. If you hit a mob with your throw, the Trident, of course, will do damage to the receiver, and you will stop your travel. It cannot be combined with the other Trident enchantments Loyalty and Channeling. Also, a word of caution, you will still be dealt fall damage from heights if you hit the ground, so be careful with your throwing outside of the ocean.
