About Prismarine
Prismarine is a teal, ocean-themed building block found in ocean monuments. Its colour sits somewhere between blue and green, which makes it popular for underwater and coastal builds. It is purely decorative and has no special interaction or redstone behaviour.
Key facts:
- Needs a pickaxe to mine and drops itself.
- Crafted from four prismarine shards in a 2x2 grid.
- Comes in related block forms, including prismarine bricks and dark prismarine.
How to get Prismarine
You can get Prismarine by mining it from ocean monuments, where it makes up much of the structure. Guardians and elder guardians drop prismarine shards when killed, and four shards can be crafted into one Prismarine block. It is not found in ordinary chests or sold by villagers, so exploring an ocean monument or farming guardians is the main way to collect it.
