Sea Lantern

Sea Lantern is a light source that only appears underwater, giving off a light level of 15.

Obtaining
When broken using anything other than a Silk Touch-enchanted tool, a sea lantern will drop 2–3 prismarine crystals. A Fortune enchantment increases the amount of prismarine crystals dropped. This method of obtaining sea lanterns is wasteful though; the 4 prismarine shards and up to 3 of the prismarine crystals used to craft it are non-retrievable.

Natural generation
Sea lanterns generate naturally in ocean monuments to light them. They can only be retrieved with a silk touch pickaxe, otherwise they only drop 2-3 prismarine crystals (up to 5 with fortune).

Light source
Sea lanterns emit a light level of 15, which is the brightest possible light level in the game. They are equal to glowstone, redstone lamps, jack o'Lanterns and beacons with the light they emit.

Trivia

 * The animation shows a very faint 'rippling' effect.
