Where to find

Guardians spawn within and around ocean monument bounds in suitable water. Farms work by draining or controlling these spawn zones.

Behavior and danger

The mob locks onto a target, charges a beam, and deals damage after a delay; breaking line of sight resets it. Extended spikes retaliate against melee hits.

Drops and uses

Drops include prismarine shards, crystals, and fish. A guardian farm supplies sea lanterns, prismarine blocks, and experience.

Strategy and edition notes

Use doors, pillars, or walls to interrupt beams and bring Water Breathing. Impaling targets differ between Java and Bedrock, so match the trident build to the edition.
