Channeling is a trident enchantment in Minecraft that allows you to summon a lightning bolt when you hit a mob with your trident during a thunderstorm. The lightning strikes the mob directly, causing extra damage and can affect multiple mobs nearby. This enchantment only works if the mob is exposed to the open sky and the weather is stormy. It does not work if the mob is underwater, inside certain blocks like cobwebs or honey blocks, or inside boats or minecarts while being hit

. Besides dealing damage, Channeling has some special effects on certain mobs when struck by lightning:

• Villagers turn into witches.
• Pigs turn into zombified piglins.
• Creepers become charged creepers, which have double explosion strength and can cause mob heads to drop when they kill mobs.
• Red mushrooms turn into brown mushrooms, which normally do not spawn naturally in the game

Channeling cannot be combined with the Riptide enchantment because Riptide prevents throwing the trident, which is necessary for Channeling to work

. In summary, Channeling enhances your trident by summoning lightning during thunderstorms to deal extra damage and trigger unique mob transformations, making it a powerful and interesting enchantment for combat and mob manipulation in Minecraft
