A trident is basicly the best item in the game, unlike all the other items except shields and boats (which are boring) the trident has a wonderfull 3d texture. Some people could argue that a arrow has the same kind of thing, but NO, the arrow has no volume, it's just 2 flat faces. The trident, as well as having a lovely 3d texture also has it's own unique animation when you're holding it. The trident is a far more sophisticated weapon than a sword, for swords you just bruteishly bash people with them but with a trident you can throw them AND stab people with them. Tridents can also be used with the riptide enchantment and an elytra to FLY REALLY FAST during a thunderstorm. Unlike netherrite swords the trident can be edited on PMCskin3d and posted on PlanetMinecraft. And then we have the sound it makes. The trident makes a WONDERFULL ding sound when thrown, unlike the boring nethrite sword which is clearly not as good as the lovely TRIDENT.
