Sea lantern drops 2~3 prismarine crystals when it's destroyed using a tool without Silk Touch. In Java Edition, the Fortune enchantment makes the sea lantern drop extra 0~level prismarine crystals at the equal chances, but it is capped at 5. In Bedrock Edition, the number of drops is not affected by Fortune.[1]
Sea lantern drops itself when it's destroyed using a tool with Silk Touch.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Sea lanterns generate throughout ocean monuments, as well as in some ocean ruins.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Light source

[edit | edit source]

Sea lanterns emit a light level of 15, the brightest possible light level in the game.

Conduit power

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Conduit

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

Transparent block

[edit | edit source]

The Sea lantern blocks all sunlight, players and mobs suffocate inside it, and it blocks a beacon's beam, preventing the beacon's activation. However, like transparent blocks, it does not prevent the opening of chests, monsters (including slimes) cannot spawn on it,β€Œ[Java Edition only] and it does not transfer a redstone signal. This behavior also occurs in glowstone.
