Although the probability of these mobs dropping a Trident is relatively low, you can greatly raise your chances by using looting enchantments. In the Java Edition of Minecraft, there is a 6.25 percent chance of finding Drowned carrying a Trident. There is a 5.5 percent chance of a Drowned dropping a Trident, which can be increased by 1 percent for every level of the looting enchantment, up to a maximum of 8.5 percent. In the Bedrock Edition, there is a 15 percent chance of finding a Drowned with a Trident. There is an 11 percent chance of a Drowned dropping a Trident or some other item when a wolf or a player kills it. In this edition, you can also loot a Trident from zombies that are converted into Drowned, which is not possible with the Java Edition.
