About Dark Prismarine
Dark Prismarine is a decorative building block from the prismarine family, with a dark teal-and-black look that suits moody or underwater builds. It pairs well with regular prismarine, prismarine bricks, and sea lanterns.
Key facts:
- Purely decorative; it has no redstone or storage function.
- Needs a pickaxe to mine. Without one, it drops nothing.
- Generates naturally as part of ocean monuments.
How to get Dark Prismarine
You can get it two ways. The first is crafting: combine four prismarine shards with one black dye. The second is to explore an ocean monument, where dark prismarine is a common building block. Bring a pickaxe and mine it directly. No silk touch is required.
