How To Get Prismarine Shards & Crystals In Minecraft
1. Find a Guardian
First we need to find a Minecraft Guardian or Senior Guardian. You can find guards near an ocean monument, also called a guard temple, deep in the ocean.
Tip: You can summon a guardian or use a spawn egg if you can’t find one.
2. Attack the Guardian
Next, you have to attack the guardian. You will notice that the guard turns red when you hit him. Keep attacking the guardian until he dies.
Upon death, the Guardian will drop 0-2 Prismarine Shards and/or Crystals. If the guardian doesn’t drop anything, find another one and kill him.
3. Pick Up The Prismarine Shards and/or Crystals
Finally, collect the shards and/or crystals before they disappear.
