Channeling involves consciously shifting your mind and mental space in order to achieve an expanded state of consciousness." To achieve this expanded state of consciousness, channelers usually meditate, trying to break free of worldly influences and tune in to a higher consciousness.

How do I activate channeling?

You can add the Channeling enchantment to any trident using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Then throw the enchanted trident at a mob in the rain, and watch a lightning bolt strike the mob just after the trident hits it. The maximum level for the Channeling enchantment is Level 1.

Why is channeling not working?

Why won't my channeling trident work? Channeling requires a thunderstorm in order to work. However, if it is thundering and your trident still won't spawn a lightning strike, ensure you are hitting a mob with the ranged throw of a trident.
