Setting Up a Drowned-Free Safe Zone with a Conduit

Activating the Conduit

To stop drowned zombies from spawning around you, you must have the conduit effect active on your character.

1. Place a conduit block submerged in water.

2. Build a supporting activation frame around the conduit using vanilla prismarine blocks, dark prismarine, prismarine bricks, or sea lanterns.

3. Verify that water surrounds the central conduit block so the structure fully opens and activates.

Maintaining Protection

Once the conduit activates, it grants you the conduit effect whenever you are submerged in water or standing in rain within its functional range.

  • Check your active status effect icons to confirm the conduit effect is present.
  • While you have this effect active, the mod automatically disables drowned zombie spawns in your vicinity.
  • Clear out any preexisting drowned zombies that spawned in the area before the conduit was established, as the mod prevents new spawns rather than removing mobs that are already alive.
  • Remain within range of the conduit to keep the status effect applied so the protective spawn-prevention radius does not drop.
