The Minecraft trident killer bug is a popular glitch in Bedrock Edition that results in tridents behaving differently from their Java counterparts. When a trident hits a block before hitting a mob, it does not deal any damage to that entity. However, in Bedrock, the weapon could still deal damage to mobs even after going through a block.

This glitch resulted in players turning it into a way to farm XP and resources. Gamers essentially put the trident between powered pistons that kept pushing it around. This was followed by mob spawners above the pistons, resulting in an endless source of XP orbs that worked afk (away from keyboard) as well. To date, this phenomenon has been unique to the Bedrock edition of the game.

However, the latest Java snapshot seems to have added this Bedrock-exclusive Minecraft trident killer bug to the other edition of the game as well. As of the latest 25w41a snapshot, Java edition players could perfectly replicate the trident killer bug and create flawless farms with ease.

Many players speculate that this was accidental and could be removed soon, since it has already been listed as a bug on the official tracker. However, the developers have not confirmed or denied the addition of this bug or stated whether it was intentional. The ability to farm XP or materials with ease due to this glitch goes further in depicting the issue of parity between both editions of the game.

The addition of the trident killer bug from Minecraft Bedrock could be a major game-changer for Java edition users since it would let them farm XP and resources with ease. It would simplify complex silverfish or slime farms and make it hassle-free to stock up on items and the coveted orbs. However, since it is classified as a bug, it is more likely for the developers to rectify this happy mistake.
