Natural generation

Prismarine bricks naturally generate as the main blocks making up ocean monuments. Prismarine bricks are found in large amounts due to the size of the structure. Prismarine bricks make up the 23 pillars below the monument, and appear decoratively throughout the structure.

Usage

Conduit power

Main article: Conduit

Prismarine bricks 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. Sea lanterns, prismarine and dark prismarine can also be used for this purpose.
