Build With It: Prismarine!

Some of the ideas we came up with while thinking about this week’s Build With It definitely had a theme to them: the bottom of huge backyard pools, aquariums, and even aquatic-themed gardens filled with statues inspired by maritime legend and lore. We have talked about wood and stone before, but for this story, we thought something a bit brighter and shinier would help inspire your next weekend adventure. Is it any surprise then that we have turned our attention to prismarine this week – the beautiful blue-green block with a dazzling name?

Of course, before we start using it on our home base or other builds, we’ll need to gather it. It’s true, gathering prismarine requires traveling far beneath the sea and battling a few greedy guardians before you can mine away your own collection of prismarine, but the effort is well worth it. To properly prepare for this task, we suggest diving into our Block of the Week article that even provides you with a few handy recipes to construct this useful building block and its colorful varieties from the prismarine shards.

ped with a reasonable amount of prismarine, it’s time to head back to the surface and get building. “But what should I build with it?” you ask. That’s a great question, which is why we have included some neat community designs to help you find that sweet inspiration.

First, check out this café from Crixel96 featuring a prismarine fountain in the center. It is further accented with a checkered red sandstone, prismarine brick, and sea lantern floor. The theme continues throughout the building to provide a well-coordinated, chill atmosphere. If you owned this establishment, what would be on your menu?
