Building Submerged Bases Without Drowned Interference

Securing the Construction Site

Constructing underwater bases often leaves players exposed to hostile drowned zombies. You can use the mod's conduit-based spawn suppression to build in complete safety.

1. Choose your underwater building location and set up a conduit with its prismarine frame first.

2. Submerge yourself to receive the conduit effect.

3. Patrol the immediate perimeter and eliminate any existing drowned that spawned prior to conduit activation.

Expanding Your Base Safely

With the conduit effect active, drowned zombies are blocked from spawning near you.

  • Keep an eye on your status effects while gathering materials or placing submerged blocks. As long as the conduit effect remains active on your player, drowned spawns will not trigger around you.
  • By default, the Euclidean range check covers a massive 400 blocks around mobs checking for your conduit effect, giving you plenty of clearance to construct large underwater halls.
  • If your submerged base expands far enough that you lose the conduit effect at the outer edges, set up additional conduit structures along your building route so the status effect never lapses while you work.
