Minecraft wiki entry for Loyalty, associated text: In Java Edition, throwing a trident into the Void effectively destroys the trident; it never returns because there are no blocks or entities for it to hit.‌[until JE Edition Combat Tests] In Bedrock Edition, the trident returns after traveling around 15 blocks in the void. A Loyalty-enchanted trident does not return when thrown by a dispenser. If a Loyalty-enchanted trident is shot into the void by a dispenser, it does not despawn immediately like a normal trident would.
