akoimeexx/betterdrowned-datapack

Allows converted zombies in minecraft to spawn with tridents once they become drowned.

Better Drowned Datapack

A minecraft 1.13+ datapack that reintroduces pre-release behavior of converted drowned mobs being able to spawn with a trident.

This datapack was written to alleviate the issue of natural drowned with tridents being prohibitively rare on a multiplayer server, and allows for the building of trident farms using zombies as your starting mob. Drop rate for tridents have been unaffected.

readme.md is not required in the datapack zip file, but may be included with no ill effects.

Usage

Find loads of zombies. Stick their heads in water. Wait for conversion. Profit.

betterdrowned-datapack's Issues

Drowned don't carry over the original zombie's current health

If a zombie converts in a farm system after drop damage, the drowned doesn't reflect the correct amount of health remaining post conversion.
