Minecraft:Conduit

Template:For Template:Infobox block A conduit is a Minecraft:block that can be placed underwater and surrounded by prismarine to activate it. Once active, it empowers nearby players touching water or rain, prevents them from drowning, and attacks wet Minecraft:monsters.

Obtaining

Breaking

A conduit drops as an 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:beacons and shulker boxes, it always drops when destroyed by an explosion.

Usage

Conduit Power

When activated, conduits give the "Conduit Power" effect to all players in contact with rain or Minecraft:water, within a spherical range of 32-96 blocks. The effect has the same benefits as Water Breathing, Night Vision, and Haste, but does not stack with them. The effect is "ambient", which means that the effect in the HUD has a blue border, similar to effects from Minecraft:beacons. Fully-constructed conduits also damage any hostile mobs, like drowned, guardians, and elder guardians, 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 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, dark prismarine, prismarine bricks, and sea lantern blocks in the frame contribute to activation. A minimum of 16 Minecraft:blocks are required and produce an effective range of 32 blocks. Prismarine-type Minecraft:slabs (including double slabs), Minecraft:stairs, and Minecraft:walls 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.Template:Note

The effective radius of the conduit is 16 Minecraft:blocks 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 hostile mobs within 8 blocks of the conduit, dealing Template:Hp magic damage every 2 seconds, if they are in contact with Minecraft:water or rain.Template:Note

History

Trivia

• When it is activated, the conduit displays the 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 the system of whirlpools in Nordland county, Norway.
