  • Sea Lantern requires a crafting table to craft.

About Sea Lantern

The Sea Lantern is a bright light block that works especially well in underwater and aquatic builds. It gives off light level 15, the maximum in-game, so it lights up a wide area.

Key facts:

  • Emits the brightest possible light, level 15.
  • Glows steadily and works underwater.
  • Solid block that does not require fuel or redstone.

It is mainly used for decoration and as a clean, modern-looking alternative to torches or glowstone.

How to get Sea Lantern

You can either craft Sea Lanterns or collect them from ocean monuments. They generate naturally as part of the monument structure. To pick one up as a block, mine it with a Silk Touch tool. Breaking a Sea Lantern without Silk Touch drops prismarine crystals instead.

The crafting recipe uses 4 prismarine shards and 5 prismarine crystals. Both ingredients drop from guardians, so hunting guardians is usually the best way to gather them.
