Sea lantern is known as a light source that only shows up underwater in and around Ocean Monuments. This one has an animated texture and gives off a light level of 15. This lantern is one of only four blocks that will give off lasting light if it is placed underwater, the other being Jack o’ Lanterns, glowstone, and a redstone lamp.
It is more powerful than a torch and works on land. It is able to be used like a beacon in order to help players to find their way home after long explorations. It is used for building a conduit structure, along with prismarine brick, dark prismarine, and prismarine.
How do you get a sea lantern in the game called Minecraft? There are a few ways that you can use to get a sea lantern in the game. Here are the methods:
- Breaking
A sea lantern is able to be obtained only when mined with a tool enchanted with silk touch. When broken using anything other than a silk touch enchanted tool, this one drops two to three prismarine crystals. The Fortune enchantment rises up the number of prismarine crystals dropped. This way of getting sea lanterns is useless though, the 4 prismarine shards and up to 3 of the prismarine crystals used to craft it are non-retrievable.
| Block | Sea Lantern |
| Hardness | 0.3 |
| Breaking time | |
| Default | 0.45 |
Every level of Fortune increases the maximum number of prismarine crystals dropped. The amount capped at 5, meaning Fortune III simple increases the opportunity of getting 5 crystals.
