Mine Sea Lanterns from Ocean Monuments Quickly
Why Sea Lanterns Are Worth Mining
Sea lanterns are decorative light sources found in ocean monuments, but they're tedious to harvest by hand. This mod makes pickaxes effective against them, turning monument exploration into a practical resource-gathering activity.
Steps to Harvest Sea Lanterns
1. Locate an ocean monument in deep ocean biomes
2. Bring a pickaxe and appropriate underwater breathing equipment (potions, enchanted helmet, or other mods)
3. Break sea lanterns by left-clicking them with your pickaxe
4. Collect the drops before they despawn in water
Tips for Monument Raiding
Sea lanterns are scattered throughout monuments, so plan your route to minimize backtracking. The pickaxe speed bonus makes it practical to harvest multiple lanterns in a single expedition. Consider bringing a collection tool or hopper system if you're gathering large quantities, and remember that water currents can carry drops away, so work carefully or use a containment strategy.
