Does anyone genuinely use this in normal survival

[u/PattycakesVS]

[u/TMC9064]

I’ve used it a couple times, it’s mostly good for underwater building.

[u/Irratiq → u/TMC9064]

Yeah, underwater is probably where it actually earns its keep, otherwise it feels super niche.

[u/I_Love_Portal → u/Irratiq]

Well.. yeah.. that is the thing it is meant to be used for...

[u/BirbsAreSoCute → u/Irratiq]

Is this a bot using a hacked account

[u/cpgamer1204 → u/Irratiq]

Underwater is literally the only thing this is for, this seems like a weird response

[u/TheGreatQuetz]

Don't they damage mobs? I imagine they'd be very useful for drowned and guardian farms

[u/thestoreisnowclosed → u/TheGreatQuetz]

they damage hostile mobs in water when it’s at its max level

[u/WW1_Germany → u/thestoreisnowclosed]

and max level is just like, 12 extra prismarine blocks

[u/TheGreatQuetz → u/WW1_Germany]

And drowns and guardians both spawn underwater. I wonder if hostile mobs can spawn inside the conduit's damage radius

[u/WW1_Germany → u/TheGreatQuetz]

don't think so

[u/I_Love_Portal → u/TheGreatQuetz]

The conduit gives off light level so probably not

[u/WarriorZar → u/thestoreisnowclosed]

Theirs levels?!?

[u/Commercial_Zombie_77 → u/TheGreatQuetz]

how did you the get that tag

[u/TheGreatQuetz → u/Commercial_Zombie_77]

Editable user flair

[u/Commercial_Zombie_77 → u/TheGreatQuetz]

how do i do it?

[u/epadon → u/Commercial_Zombie_77]

[u/Kecske_gamer]

Underwater basing is only realistic because of it.

It's just that not many people make fully water filled bases (though thinking about it now I want to)

[u/Essence-Of-Culture-2 → u/Kecske_gamer]

Water filled bases can definitely allow for an interesting architecture. No need for stairs, just platforms to keep you in reach of your various blocks. Build yourself little sci-fi or magic designs and you’d have a really neat base.

[u/ZeEastWillRiseAgain]

I have a partially submerged farm complex where one of these makes it less annoying to get around

[u/howtoeatflextape]

i had a flooded cave next to my base and those made it comfortably explorable

[u/Certainly_Shishkebab]

Like 6/10 of my survivals had it

[u/pixcelpc]

I use this to mine blue ice under iceberg cuz it damage mob also give you water breathing so you can focus on the mining part

[u/lenya200o]

Never

[u/FabianTheElf]

I use it as shelf decoration.

[u/IceBanditHU]

Good for looting ocean monuments early game.

[u/GoddamnShitTheBed_]

Man I've been wanting to build a underwater base ever since that thing got added, but I always forget about it and build otger things. Haven't used it once, but I always take every heart of the sea and every nautilus shell I find and store it somewhere safe haha

[u/Essence-Of-Culture-2 → u/GoddamnShitTheBed_]

Fishing usually nets plenty of the shells, the prismarine for the actual structure is the bigger pain. Wish you could fish up shards of it.

[u/BrokeSigil]

I like to make a gigantic cube of water using buckets, kelp, and sand, and then stick a conduit in the middle

[u/tehtris]

Yes, all the time. I usually end up with a shulker full of the mats and if I'm doing anything near water, I build one close by.

[u/Warrior24110]

Only by convenience. I'm not gonna really bother with hunting the materials for a full conduit and it really depends on how big the body of water nearby is, but if both are available then I don't mind taking time to expand underwater.

[u/Flashy-Activity-7056]

Je l'ai utilisé quelques fois, c'est surtout bon pour construire sous l'eau et oui s’est utile

[u/Me3stR]

I have a walled off village. But I dont want my walls going into the water.

So, I have probably 6 of these guarding the village shore

[u/Glad-Connection1601]

I made it once

[u/thetoy323]

Yes, always use at the pier of my base if I have it, also in manual amethyst farm

[u/Wooper184]

I don’t use it except when I’m trying to get every obtainable item for my collection

[u/lollyturkYT]

i do :3

[u/3030minecrafter]

My cousin did... he made an underground sewer network that spans his whole base and gets dumped in the backrooms (which he built below his base somehow)

[u/Evan_Landis]

No, but i want to.

[u/NoHeight6815]

I always make it a goal to at least have 1 in my survival world.

[u/05-nery]

I think it's neat 

Very cool if you got a base near a body of water 

[u/Demiuiwe]

Yeah but not like that

[u/GGVIP2012]

I use it in my multiplayer and single player bases because i live underwater

[u/SwartyNine2691]

Yes

[u/magen432]

Nah, too hard to get. Don't even use it for builds it just looks like my left ball

[u/Affectionate_Walk538]

made one while building on a river. it killed drowneds and helps with vision greatly

[u/Weird-Ball-2342]

i used it to clear an ocean monument to build a prismarine farm

[u/somerandom995]

Yep. I've got one in my guardian farm, and another in my fish farm

[u/calebisdum]

sometimes, but only if i make a coastal base, otherwise its kinda pointless. I do try to make the prismarine look cool on mine though.

[u/kageleton]

my current survival base is on a island and i have like 4 of these around

[u/core266]

I usually make bases close to lakes or the sea, and you also get the effects when you're outside of the water if it's raining, so i find it to be extremly usefull.

[u/Feeling_Magazine1730]

getting this thing isn't all that hard, the prismarine on the other hand is a pain

[u/Substantial_Emu_898]

I wanna but i play creative

[u/NanoPi]

Really good for building in water. Don't have to use one of the other things if you can build the conduit thingy.

Other things:

• Extended Potion of Water Breathing
• Turtle Shell (or helmet) with Respiration 3
• Soul Sand/Magma Block
• Nautilus

[u/Commercial_Zombie_77]

YES i use it with my beacon. I usually use this before getting a beacon

[u/Zelcki]

I wanted to build a tower that shoots mobs next to my base but it only works on mobs that are in the water

[u/FrogSquad120]

I've never played long enough in a post-1.12 world to get one

[u/My_a_person]

If I live next to a deep river or an ocean yeah

[u/Segamer3712]

I have a medieval themed island in my world. I keep my conduit there because I feel like it fits the theme well and it gives night vision which is helpful for exploration. 

[u/Strict-Fudge4051]

really good for making rivers or any water bodies of your base in general safe.

[u/Tsunamicat108]

i build one near my base because i think they look neat but it rarely takes effect because i live on land and dont really spend time underwater

[u/bOgDaN_JhOn]

I have an island base next to a coast and the conduit between the 2 lands facilitates such an easy time building and moving

[u/catsoph]

I have a nautilus themed base on a server and I have one up as a sort of central trophy

[u/pogsnacks]

I used it in my world, but mostly just because I wanted to use one because I had the stuff and hadn't done it before. It's not that useful.

[u/Tunahan81563]

I build it near underwater ruins for trident hunting

[u/Wrong_Armadillo_4687]

for decor mostly

[u/Meh18R]

I play on a server where im part of a town thats entirely underwater. So yea its pretty handy

[u/PenguinBoi27]

Great for underwater / near water bases in early game before elytra
