You can add a prismarine shard to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a guardian. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Guardian

First, you need to find a guardian in the game.

In Minecraft, you can find guardians inside the Ocean Monument (also called the Guardian Temple).

2. Kill the Guardian

Once you find a guardian, you need to attack it. When you attack the guardian, it will turn pink as it takes damage.

Continue to chase and attack the guardian. They are very quick and will swim away fast. Once you have killed the guardian, it may drop a prismarine shard and/or prismarine crystals. Sometimes, a guardian will not drop anything. If this happens, just find and kill another guardian.

3. Pick up the Prismarine Shard

Make sure you pick up the prismarine shard before it disappears.

Once you pick up the prismarine shard, it will appear in your hotbar.
