The speed of how quickly the trident returns to you depends a great deal on the level of your enchantment, so take care to level yourself up a bit before use.


How To Add Loyalty Enchantment


Before you can even think of enchanting your trident with loyalty you are going to need a set of materials to be able to accomplish this. Here is the short-list below.


1. 3 Lapis Lazuli



2. Enchanting Table



3. 8 Levels



Lapis lazuli thankfully shouldn’t be too hard to find if you go mining deep enough. It tends to spawn in groups so getting enough of it also shouldn’t be too great an issue. Getting the material for your enchanting table will be more time-consuming, but not impossible. Once you have collected all of the materials you need, it is best that you remember that you need to be level 8 to input the first level of this enchantment otherwise you will be wasting your own time.

If you have all of the prerequisites, go to your enchanting table, put the trident and lazuli in their corresponding slots and you should be able to enchant the loyalty with no problem.
