Where Can a Conduit Block Be Found?

Conduits do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. They are crafted using a Heart of the Sea and eight Nautilus Shells. To activate a Conduit, it must be placed within a frame of Prismarine, Dark Prismarine, or Sea Lantern blocks, forming a multi-layered structure. More details about underwater structures can be found in the Ocean Monument article.

When properly activated, a Conduit grants the Conduit Power effect to all players within a 96-block radius underwater. This effect allows for infinite breathing and improved underwater visibility, making it perfect for ocean mining, base building, and treasure hunting. Additionally, a fully activated Conduit emits a pulse that damages nearby hostile aquatic mobs like Drowned, providing defense against underwater threats.
