Prismarine

Prismarine is a decorative block found in the game Minecraft. It is primarily obtained by defeating Elder Guardians, which are large, hostile mobs found in Ocean Monuments. When an Elder Guardian is defeated, it drops prismarine shards. These shards can then be combined with another common Minecraft item, the sodium nitrate, to craft prismarine blocks. Prismarine blocks are a popular choice for builders due to their unique blue-green coloration and slightly porous texture. They have a distinct look that can add visual interest to underwater structures or other builds. In addition to the standard prismarine block, there are two other variants: prismarine bricks and sea lanterns. Prismarine bricks are crafted using four prismarine blocks in a crafting table and have a pattern resembling bricks. Sea lanterns are crafted using prismarine shards and sodium nitrate, and importantly, they emit light, making them useful for illuminating dark areas. These blocks are purely aesthetic and do not possess any special functional properties beyond their appearance and light emission in the case of sea lanterns.
