To make a Conduit, you will need to acquire a Heart of the Sea and eight Nautilus Shells. To get the former, you need to find a buried treasure chest or underwater temple. The latter is dropped by Drowned, who are the waterlogged variant of Zombies. They spawn a lot in ocean biomes but also appear in other biomes with bodies of water.

When you have the items, open a Crafting Table and place the Heart of the Sea in the middle. Surround all of the accompanying slots with the Nautilus Shells. Move the completed Conduit to your inventory when ready.

Now you have the Conduit, but you’re not quite ready to get the full use out of it yet. You need to acquire a lot of Prismarine blocks from an underwater temple and build a frame structure around the Conduit while activated. Any combination of Prismarine, Prismarine Bricks, Dark Prismarine, or Sea Lanterns will work. There are multiple rings can build, which will require between 16 and 42 for the three levels.

To start, find a spot in the water you want your Conduit to be and make a standing square that is five blocks long on each side. Place an additional block and your Conduit in the center on the bottom line of blocks. When the Conduit is placed, destroy the block under it to activate it. This is the first activation level for the Conduit and will work up to 32
