Prismarine Shard

A prismarine shard is an item in Minecraft primarily obtained by defeating guardians or elder guardians. These mobs are typically found inside Ocean Monuments. Prismarine shards are essential for crafting various prismarine blocks and sea lanterns. Players can obtain 0-2 prismarine shards each time they defeat a guardian or elder guardian, with the quantity increasing up to 5 when using the Looting enchantment. Prismarine shards are used to craft prismarine blocks, prismarine bricks, and dark prismarine. Additionally, they are a crucial component in crafting sea lanterns, which are a very bright light source suitable for underwater constructions. In Minecraft, prismarine shards are versatile and important resources for building underwater bases and decorative structures. While they cannot be crafted directly using a crafting table or furnace, they can be effectively gathered by exploring and fighting within Ocean Monuments. The methods for obtaining and using prismarine shards remain consistent across different versions of Minecraft.
