Improved Tridents

Improved Tridents (datapack)

This datapack adds sensible improvements and quality-of-life to the Trident to make it a viable melee and ranged weapon adjacent to the Sword.

__Requires__: Minecraft 1.21.x +

__The changes are intended to be as fairly balanced as possible.__ For balance issues and bugs, please open an issue here on Github.

For more detail, see Features and for unfinished work see TODO!

__Install__

Simply download the archive from Releases, create a new folder named `improved-tridents` within the `datapacks` folder, and extract the downloaded archive into that `improved-tridents` folder.

If downloading from Modrinth:

__Important note__: If you have an old version and are __NOT__ using the Modrinth App, be sure to delete the entire folder (`improved-tridents` folder) from `datapacks` before installing!
