Practical Guide
Version 1.13 introduces underwater dungeons (ocean monuments), new aquatic blocks, and drowning penalties. Aquatic farming and structure exploration become viable.
Practical Steps
- Ocean monuments: rare structures, guardians spawn inside, prismarine blocks
- Locate monument: search deepest ocean biomes (coordinates often multiples of 16)
- Guardians: ranged mob with laser attack, high HP, dangerous underwater
- Prepare: Aqua Affinity helmet, Respiration III helmet, Protection IV armor
- Drain monument: place sand/gravel columns from surface to monument
Pro Tips
- Drowning is lethal; always carry water breathing potions or aqua affinity
- Guardians deal rapid laser damage; shield blocking is unreliable (use dodging)
- Monument draining requires massive material investment (thousands of blocks)
- Prismarine is aesthetic but expensive; farm for late-game building only
- Kelp farms are renewable; one source block produces infinitely stacked kelp
