Minecraft Legends Prismarine is one of the rarest resources in the game, and it serves a number of important roles. Not only does it represent EXP, but it can be used to build improvements and upgrades at the Well of Fate, in addition to the odd special structure such as Wellhouses. Prismarine is an essential commodity if you want to develop your offense and defense capabilities for the rest of the Minecraft Legends campaign, but due to its scarcity you can easily run low, restricting you to building a few minor additions at irregular intervals. To avoid that situation, this guide covers the fastest way to farm Prismarine in Minecraft Legends, so you'll be all set for self-improvement.

Prismarine in Minecraft Legends is a reward specifically for destroying Piglin structures, as well as larger outposts. Basically, any building, device or construct made by Piglins that you destroy will drop some loose Prismarine as a reward, though you need to move over the area to gather it.

Bigger, tougher outposts provide more Prismarine, though obviously it'll be more of a challenge. There's also no Prismarine reward for defending villages - the reward for that is the pipeline of resources that comes through the protected Village Chests.

How to farm Prismarine in Minecraft Legends

While there's no Minecraft Legends Prismarine exploit that we know of, there is an approach and a strategy to farming Prismarine as fast as possible that we've managed to work out, and we've laid it out below:

  1. During the daytime, seek out small, easy Piglin Outposts
  2. Build forces of inexpensive golem mobs with an emphasis on structure breaking
  3. Charge into the outpost and target the buildings over the Piglins themselves
  4. Destroy every structure, even those that don't pose a threat
  5. Afterwards, immediately head to the nearest small outpost and repeat

The key here is quickly massing easy, rapid victories. Yes, bigger outposts will give you a bigger reward, but they take much longer to beat, assuming you even can. It's much more efficient to just trample over a string of minor outposts, the smaller rewards building up quickly. It's also better to do this during the day, as the Piglins won't be wreaking havoc and putting you on the defensive.

You should also buy the Allay Storage Improvement at the earliest chance possible - it doesn't increase the speed of farming, but it'll increase the max amount of Prismarine (among other things) you can carry at once.

Guides Editor, GamesRadar+

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at Eurogamer, Gfinity, USgamer, SFX Magazine, RPS, Dicebreaker, VG247, and more.
