Ocean Monument

Water Dungeons also known as Ocean Temples are naturally generated structures that will appear in Deep Ocean biomes. They will appear in 1.8.

The dungeons will consist of Prismarine and will be lit by Sea Lantern blocks. The dungeons will consist of at least six rooms.

One of the types of room that can spawn is a room that has Wet Sponge covering the ceiling.

These dungeons are large and pyramid-like and contains many Prismarine block types. Inside the main entrance, there is a spire that goes up through the dungeon. At the top floor, there is a larger grey Elder Guardian that acts as a boss, though is not an official boss mob.. .

In the protrusions of the dungeon, (the parts of the building that go either side of the entrance), there are more Elder Guardians. (One for each protrusion). The space they occupy is part of a giant room that makes up the bottom section of the dungeon. In the back middle of this room are the 8 Gold Blocks, encased in Dark Prismarine, the only treasure of the dungeon.

The Boss Guardian drops Prismarine Shards, raw fish, and a Wet Sponge. The new Guardian mob also spawns around the dungeon.

When near a Boss Guardian, a ghostly image of the Guardian appears on the screen for half a second and inflicts the Mining Fatigue III effect.
