How To Use Heart Of The Sea In Minecraft

So, you've snagged a Heart of the Sea in Minecraft. Congratulations! It looks like a mystical, glowing blueberry, doesn’t it?

But what *do* you *do* with this precious gem from the deep?

Finding the Treasure: Pirate Booty Edition

First things first, you probably wrestled it from a buried treasure chest. Picture this: You followed a map that looked like it was drawn by a caffeinated octopus, dug up half a beach, and finally, bam! Treasure!

Inside, nestled amongst the rusty iron and questionable TNT, was the Heart of the Sea, pulsating with aquatic magic.

Now, the Fun Part: Building Your Underwater Beacon

Okay, now it's time to craft a Conduit. Forget crafting tables that require precision and planning; this is more like advanced Lego building, but underwater.

You’ll need eight Nautilus Shells. These are dropped by the adorable (and sometimes annoying) Drowned.

Think of it as getting souvenirs from your zombie-infested swim.

Arrange the Nautilus Shells around the Heart of the Sea in a crafting table.

Ta-da! You've got yourself a Conduit. Now, onto the slightly trickier part.

Constructing the Conduit Frame: An Underwater Pyramid Scheme

This is where the Prismarine blocks come in. Prismarine is that dark, teal-ish stone you find around ocean monuments.

You'll need a bunch of it. Consider it your new interior design project. You need to make a 5x5 square with a hole in the middle, which will form the base of your structure.

Build up from the bottom layer. Place the Conduit in the center of the structure when you are done.

The Conduit needs to be surrounded by at least 16 Prismarine blocks (or variations like Dark Prismarine or Prismarine Bricks). The more you surround it with, the stronger the beacon.

Think of it as giving your Conduit a hug made of rock.

When you place the last Prismarine block, the Conduit will activate.

The Magic Happens: Becoming Aquaman (or Aquawoman)

The Conduit will now give you powers in the water! You'll have underwater breathing, night vision, and faster mining speed.

You can finally explore that creepy underwater ravine without constantly popping up for air like a frantic dolphin.

Enemies will be damaged by the Conduit. It is like having your own personal underwater security system.

You could say they'll be feeling a bit... *sea-sick*.

Enjoy your newfound underwater adventures. And remember, all that digging and swimming was worth it for the bragging rights alone.

You're basically the King or Queen of the Ocean now!

The Heart of the Sea: Not just a pretty blue rock, but a ticket to underwater domination.
