How to Activate a Conduit in Minecraft: Your Step-by-Step Guide

Last updated
Wondering how to get that shiny conduit up and running in Minecraft? You’re not alone! We’re diving into the nitty-gritty of activating conduits today.
Activating a conduit in Minecraft might sound like wizardry, but it’s really all about understanding the basics and putting them into action.
Quick Answer: Activating Your Conduit
To activate a conduit in Minecraft, you’ll need to surround it with a framework of prismarine blocks. This can be any combination of prismarine, dark prismarine, prismarine bricks, or sea lanterns. The minimum structure requires a 3×3 square of prismarine blocks, with the conduit in the middle. However, for full power, a larger structure is necessary.
When successfully activated, conduits provide two major benefits: they grant the “Conduit Power” effect, which improves your vision underwater and allows you to breathe indefinitely while submerged. Plus, they attack hostile mobs within range. To get the full range of effects, you’ll need to build a maximum-sized structure around the conduit.
