Also with some other smart tactics, conquering this structure is not an easy task. Let’s dive in to get in-depth insights about Ocean Monuments in Minecraft.

What are Ocean Monuments in Minecraft?

It is one of the biggest Minecraft structures that resides underwater. It covers around 58 x 58 blocks and is made up of blocks like lanterns, prismarine, prismarine bricks, and dark prismarine. These blocks are no doubt one of the hardest blocks to get in Minecraft. Also, when you enter into the radius of this structure, an effect named “mining fatigue” is applied to the player, which almost makes it impossible for a player to mine this structure.

It is a pyramid-like structure with at least 6 or above rooms in it. It is the home of the Guardian and Elder Guardian; these mobs are only found in this structure. Guardians are responsible for guarding the pyramid. They can spawn in the whole area covered by Ocean Monument but they cannot naturally spawn anywhere else.

They attack other mobs and players using their laser beams. They can even attack players riding on a boat.

Elder Guardian is the biggest one out of all of them and serves as a boss for protecting the pyramid from intruders. Upon killing Elder Guardian, you get a wet sponge which is used to remove water from large places.

Almost in the center of the Ocean monument, there is a treasure in the form of gold blocks encased by dark prismarine.

Sometimes, you can find sponges in some of the rooms inside the monument. These sponges are used for clearing water out from large places but they need to be dried. For that, you can use a furnace, simply put it in a furnace and some fuel like coal or wood to get the dried “Sponge”.

By killing these Guardians, you can get prismarine shards and prismarine crystals which are used to make prismarine and its other blocks.

These are some of the most amazing building blocks used by players especially for tropical theme builds.
