Dark prismarine is a variant of prismarine that has a dark cyan color with a tight grid pattern. It is one of the building blocks of ocean monuments along with other prismarine variants.

Obtaining

Breaking

Dark prismarine only drops itself when mined with a pickaxe. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Dark prismarines naturally generate as the main blocks in ocean monuments. Dark prismarine encases the 8 gold blocks in the treasure chamber, and appears in fewer decorative features, compared to the other variants of prismarine.

Usage

Conduit power

Main article: Conduit

Dark prismarine can be used to activate a conduit by building a structure around it. By doing this, the conduit emits the Conduit Power effect in a certain radius, depending on how many blocks are used to power it. The other two variants of prismarine and sea lanterns can also be used for this purpose.
