Prismarine Crystals

In version 1.8, a sea lantern was added to the game, and with it prismarine crystals.

In version 1.9, when killing a guardian and an elder guardian, the probability of a prismarine crystal falling out was first increased from 33% to 40% (snapshot 15w43a), and then reduced again to 33% for elder guardians (snapshot 15w43b).

Version 1.13 adds the ability to find prismarine crystals in buried treasure chests.

The most common way to get prismarine crystals as drop guards is to fight them. Without prior preparation, it is very difficult to do this, since there are factors that make it difficult to fight with the guards:

• The speed of movement under water slows down very much.
• The player can stay under water for a limited time, and will soon begin to suffocate.

We suggest using the following tips for effectively killing guards and obtaining prismarine crystals:

• Stock up on potions for underwater breathing, night vision and emergency regeneration.
• Enchantment of boots for a "Deep Step" and other charms will also help a lot in battle.
• Milk will instantly remove the fatigue effect that the elder guardians impose during the attack.
• Properly used dynamite will allow you to kill several guards at a time.
• You can use a fishing rod with which the guard needs to be pulled ashore and killed there.

No, it is impossible to repair the trident with prismarine crystals. A trident can be repaired by connecting it to another trident with an anvil or grindstone. If there is an enchantment on the trident, then it is better to use an anvil. However, this method is not the easiest, as tridents are rare and difficult to get.

It is better to use the "Repair" spell on the trident.

Prismarine crystals have one use in Minecraft: the creation of sea lanterns. Using five prismarine crystals and four prismarine shards, players can create blocks of sea lanterns, which are effective light sources both underwater and on land.

Prismarine crystals have a 40% chance of falling out of the guardians and a 33% chance of falling out of the elder guardians. The number of crystals increases by one for each level of the "Looting" enchantment. Prismarine crystals also fall out of sea lanterns if they are destroyed with a pickaxe without enchantment for a "Silk Touch".

Prismarine crystals fall out of sea lanterns if you do not use a pickaxe with a "Silk Touch" charm. Usually 2-3 crystals fall out. The number can be increased to a maximum of 5 with the "Luck" enchantment.

To make a sea lantern, place 4 prismarine shards and 5 prismarine crystals in a 3x3 crafting grid. When making a sea lantern, it is important that the prismarine fragments and prismarine crystals are positioned exactly as shown in the figure below.

Prismarine crystals fall out when the guards are killed. These dangerous mobs can only be found in ocean monument. Players can also get Prismarine crystals by destroying an underwater temple.

Creating a guardian farm is also an effective way to get prismarine crystals in Minecraft.

Yes, the guardian farm is one of the ways to farm prismarine crystals in Minecraft.

Despite the fact that the fastest way to destroy a prismarine is with a golden pickaxe, you can get it using any pickaxe.

No, they don't have a crafting recipe.

• When killing Guardians with a tool that has the «Looting» enchantment, the number of dropped crystals increases by 1 for each level of the enchantment.
• To obtain prismarine crystals from a sea lantern, the pickaxe must not have the «Silk Touch» enchantment; otherwise the sea lantern itself will drop. The «Luck» enchantment on the tool will increase the number of crystals dropped.
• Treasure chests contain 1-5 prismarine crystals with a 53.1% chance.
• If you create a guardian farm, you can get an unlimited number of prismarine crystals.
