What It Adds

The mod adds one item:

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Stormtide Trident at a crafting table using prismarine, a Heart of the Sea, a diamond, and a stick.

How To Use

The ability triggered depends on how you use the trident:

For Stormcall, use the trident without targeting a block if you want to avoid triggering the block-use ability.

Each ability has its own cooldown. The trident can still be used as a normal melee weapon while an ability is recharging.

Abilities And Mechanics

Tempest Rush

Press Use while not sneaking to dash in the direction you are facing.

• Normal horizontal dash strength: 1.6
• Enhanced horizontal dash strength in water or rain: 2.4
• Looking upward gives the dash more lift.
• Grants Resistance I for 4 seconds normally.
• Grants Resistance II for 6 seconds when enhanced.
• Cooldown: 8 seconds

Stormcall

Sneak and press Use to cycle the weather in your dimension.

The weather sequence is:

1. Rain
2. Thunder
3. Clear weather
4. Repeat

Each weather selection uses a 600-second weather duration. Stormcall also grants temporary combat and movement effects:

• Cooldown: 30 seconds
• The water or rain check occurs when Stormcall is activated.

Drownfall

Press Use while targeting a block to affect nearby entities.

• Searches up to 20 blocks around you.
• Excludes you from the effect.
• Affects nearby entities with health.
• Places water in air blocks around each affected target.
• Deals 1 drowning damage every second.
• Applies Slowness II normally.
• Applies Slowness III when enhanced.
• Normal duration: 12 seconds
• Enhanced duration: 20 seconds
• Cooldown: 20 seconds

Drownfall only replaces air, so existing solid terrain is not overwritten. It can still create water around targets and change the battlefield.

Aquatic Fury

Successful melee hits deal an additional 2 damage when you are:

• In water, or
• In rainy or stormy weather

With its base 8 attack damage, the trident deals 10 total damage on these enhanced melee hits.

Stormbound Guard

Using any of the three active abilities grants temporary Resistance.

• Normal conditions: Resistance I for 4 seconds
• In water or rain: Resistance II for 6 seconds

This protection is granted whenever Tempest Rush, Stormcall, or Drownfall activates successfully.

Tidal Momentum

While holding the Stormtide Trident in your main hand, you gain Speed I when you are near water.

Water can be beside you, beneath you, or nearby within roughly a few blocks. This bonus is refreshed continuously while the condition remains true.

Progression And Strategy

• Gather prismarine shards and a Heart of the Sea before crafting the trident.
• Fight near oceans, rivers, or other water sources to benefit from Tidal Momentum and Aquatic Fury.
• Use Tempest Rush in water or rain for its stronger dash and improved Resistance.
• Use Stormcall before a major fight to gain Strength, Speed, and Resistance.
• Use Drownfall where enemies are grouped together so several targets are surrounded by water at once.
• Keep room around enemies when using Drownfall, since it can fill nearby air blocks with water.
• Watch the separate cooldowns: use Tempest Rush for mobility, Stormcall for preparation and buffs, and Drownfall for crowd control.
