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.
