A '''conduit''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] that can be placed [[Minecraft:Water|underwater]] and surrounded by [[Minecraft:Prismarine_(disambiguation)|prismarine]] to activate it. Once active, it [[Minecraft:Conduit Power|empowers]] nearby [[Minecraft:player]]s touching water or [[Minecraft:rain]], prevents them from [[Minecraft:drowning]], and attacks wet [[Minecraft:monster]]s.

== Obtaining ==
{{relevant tutorial|Acquiring a conduit}}

=== Breaking ===
A conduit drops as an [[Minecraft:item (entity)|item]] when broken with any [[Minecraft:tool]] or by hand, but a [[Minecraft:pickaxe]] is the fastest way to break it.

Like other precious blocks such as [[Minecraft:beacon]]s and [[Minecraft:shulker box]]es, it always drops when destroyed by an [[Minecraft:explosion]].

|Schematic of a conduit in an activation frame. Click the scale on the right to view the layers. The conduit and water are required. The frame must include 16-42 blocks of prismarine, dark prismarine, sea lanterns, and/or prismarine bricks. Unused frame-blocks and empty spaces can be anything.

}}

When activated, conduits give the "[[Minecraft:Conduit Power]]" effect to all [[Minecraft:player]]s in contact with [[Minecraft:rain]] or [[Minecraft:water]], within a spherical range of 32-96 blocks. The effect has the same benefits as [[Minecraft:Water Breathing]], [[Minecraft:Night Vision]], and [[Minecraft:Haste]], but does not stack with them. The effect is "ambient", which means that the effect in the [[Minecraft:HUD]] has a blue border, similar to effects from [[Minecraft:beacon]]s. Fully-constructed conduits also damage any hostile mobs, like [[Minecraft:drowned]], [[Minecraft:guardian]]s, and [[Minecraft:elder guardian]]s, within a range of 8 blocks of the conduit. Conduits can be activated in any [[Minecraft:biome]] and at any height or depth.

To activate, a conduit needs to be in the center of a 3×3×3 volume of [[Minecraft:water]] (26 source blocks, flowing water, and/or [[Minecraft:waterlogged]] blocks, with the conduit also waterlogged in the center), which must be enclosed within an activation frame. The frame can be built out of blocks in three 5×5 open squares centered on the conduit, one around each axis. Only [[Minecraft:prismarine]], [[Minecraft:dark prismarine]], [[Minecraft:prismarine bricks]], and [[Minecraft:sea lantern]] blocks in the frame contribute to activation. A minimum of 16 [[Minecraft:block]]s are required and produce an effective range of 32 blocks. Prismarine-type [[Minecraft:slab]]s (including double slabs), [[Minecraft:stairs]], and [[Minecraft:wall]]s cannot be used to activate the conduit. Any blocks (of any type) that are not part of the activation frame itself but are in the 5×5×5 outer shell likewise have no effect. Once activated, removing any blocks from the conduit (frame blocks) deactivates the conduit.{{note|1=Conduits can be activated only by full blocks by design; see {{bug|MC-128661}}}}

The effective radius of the conduit is 16 [[Minecraft:block]]s for every seven blocks in the frame, though the effect does not activate until the minimum of 16 blocks is included in the build. Thus, it extends to 48 at 21 blocks, 64 at 28 blocks, 80 at 35 blocks, and 96 with a complete frame of 42 blocks. When the frame is complete, the center of the conduit displays an orange iris-like shape.

=== Attacking mobs ===
A complete frame also carries the additional advantage of damaging [[Minecraft:hostile mob]]s within 8 blocks of the conduit, dealing {{hp|4}} [[Minecraft:magic damage]] every 2 seconds, if they are in contact with [[Minecraft:water]] or [[Minecraft:rain]].{{note|1=Completed conduits only damage one mob at a time; see {{bug|MC-198923}}}}

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* When it is activated, the conduit displays the [[Minecraft:heart of the sea]]'s texture in the center of its model. However, when all 42 blocks have been placed (when the conduit is fully activated) the heart opens like an orange eye.
* The [[Minecraft:achievement]] obtained by activating a conduit refers to [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Moskstraumen|the system of whirlpools]] in Nordland county, [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Norway|Norway]].
