Obtaining Prismarine Shards
Prismarine shards are essential ingredients for crafting currents in Minecraft. They are obtained by smelting prismarine blocks in a furnace. Prismarine blocks can be found in ocean monuments and underwater ruins. To obtain prismarine shards, follow these steps:
- Locate an ocean monument or underwater ruin.
- Mine prismarine blocks from the structure.
- Place the prismarine blocks in a furnace.
- Smelt the prismarine blocks to obtain prismarine shards.
Here is a table summarizing the steps for obtaining prismarine shards:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Locate an ocean monument or underwater ruin. |
| 2 | Mine prismarine blocks from the structure. |
| 3 | Place the prismarine blocks in a furnace. |
| 4 | Smelt the prismarine blocks to obtain prismarine shards. |
Once you have obtained prismarine shards, you can use them to craft currents. Currents are useful for transporting items and mobs in Minecraft. They can be created by placing a prismarine shard in the center of a crafting table and surrounding it with eight water bottles.
Crafting Conduit Shells
Crafting Conduit Shells requires the Heart of the Sea, which is a rare drop from Drowned Zombies. Eight Nautilus Shells are also required. To craft the Conduit Shell, place the Heart of the Sea in the center of the crafting grid, surrounded by the Nautilus Shells.
Required Materials
| Item | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Heart of the Sea | 1 |
| Nautilus Shell | 8 |
Crafting Process
- Open the crafting grid: Press "E" to open the crafting grid.
- Place the Heart of the Sea: Drag and drop the Heart of the Sea into the center square of the crafting grid.
- Surround with Nautilus Shells: Drag and drop the Nautilus Shells around the Heart of the Sea, filling the remaining eight squares.
- Retrieve the Conduit Shell: Once the crafting process is complete, drag and drop the Conduit Shell from the crafting grid into your inventory.
- Additional Notes:
- Heart of the Sea Farming: Drowned Zombies have a small chance of dropping the Heart of the Sea. To increase your chances, kill Drowned Zombies in ocean biomes or use a looting enchantment on your sword.
- Nautilus Shell Gathering: Nautilus Shells can be found inside Treasure Chests or can be obtained by fishing in ocean biomes. Using a Luck of the Sea enchantment on your fishing rod can increase your chances of catching Nautilus Shells.
