So I have a somewhat slow drowned farm on an SMP server. I just AFKed it for a while (actually by accident) and now I have a double chest full of zombie flesh, a stack and a quarter of nautilus shells and some other sundry items. But no tridents. I do actually have a trident from before I set up the kill room and killed them manually. I was about 6 nautilus shells in before I got it. So is this just statistics or are the tridents falling to my lava blade somehow (picture attached)?
This is a river biome drowned farm and I'm not drowning zombies just to be clear.
Yes, this is a farm based on that one by Ilmango but a bit smaller. Like I say, I'm not drowning zombies. I *am* getting nautilus shells so what is in their hands appears to be being harvested but no tridents so far. I was using a looting 3 sword when I got the trident I have but by my understanding, that only increases the odds a little. Ilmango's farm does have you kill the drowned yourself though.
I may try setting up a farm on a different server so I don't affect others with afk.
Apart from skeletons, dogs probably only attack mobs that attack their owner or that their owner attacks, but you probably wouldn't want to allow the drowned to attack you while you were AFK.
According to the Wiki, trusting foxes do attack most mobs (including drowned) that hurt their player, and a held sword gets used.
No indication of how effective they would be or whether that would get credited as a player kill with a chance of dropping tridents.
It doesn't really seem practical but I suppose it could work if you either had a system for automatically dispensing splash potions of health or could set it up so the drowned attacked you but couldn't hit you and that counted as an attack (the fox Wiki page suggests that the player needs to be hurt) and you didn't care about the dogs/foxes getting killed.

In Java -Version afaik drowneds that where zombies don't drop tridents.
You can however build a good drowned farm in river biomes.
Edit:
I wouldn't build this exact farm because i don't need doublechests of tridents.
The data provided by illmango should be enough to come up with your own design.
My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q

Yeah, you need to kill them yourself, or perhaps with dogs, in order for the tridents to drop.
That's pretty standard for mob equipment, armor, bows etc (with the exception of equipment they've picked up I believe.)

Just testing.
Dogs kill drowneds?
If foxes kill them as well, you could give them a looting sword, right?

You could just get an auto clicker and use the sword, plus you would get looting 3 too.
