Atlantis

Quickstart

1. Run /atlantis start to begin an expedition at your current location. You receive a Tidal Compass, and that location becomes your expedition anchor.
2. Gather 8 Prismarine Shards and keep them in your inventory.
3. Enter water below Y=40. Your objective advances when you are below that height and in water while carrying the required shards.
4. Craft or obtain an Atlantis Pearl, then return within 16 blocks of your expedition anchor while carrying the 8 shards and pearl.
5. Claim an Abyssal Core and 3 Atlantis Crystals when the expedition completes.

Use /atlantis status at any time to view your current objective. If you want to abandon your current progress, use /atlantis reset.

Overview

Atlantis is an underwater expedition challenge centered on Prismarine materials. Start an expedition, gather Prismarine Shards, dive into deep water, and return to your starting location with an Atlantis Pearl to reclaim underwater relics.

Each player has their own expedition progress and anchor location.

What It Adds

How To Use

Start an expedition

Run:

/atlantis start

The command records your current position as the expedition anchor and gives you a Tidal Compass.

You cannot start another expedition while your current one is gathering materials or waiting for you to return. After completing an expedition, you can start another one with the same command.

Track your objective

Run:

/atlantis status

The status message shows your current phase and Prismarine Shard count:

• Gather phase: Gather 8 Prismarine Shards and dive below Y=40.
• Return phase: Return to your expedition anchor with 8 Prismarine Shards and an Atlantis Pearl.
• Completed: The expedition is complete and you may begin another one.

Reach the deep

During the gathering phase, carry at least 8 Prismarine Shards and enter water below Y=40. The expedition advances automatically when both conditions are met.

You will be told to return to your anchor after reaching the required depth.

Return to the anchor

Bring the following items back to the location where you started:

• 8 Prismarine Shards
• 1 Atlantis Pearl

You must be within 16 blocks of the anchor. The items are checked in your inventory and are not consumed when the expedition completes.

Reset progress

Run:

/atlantis reset

This clears your current expedition progress and anchor. Use /atlantis start to begin again.

For a command reminder, run:

/atlantis help

Crafting And Obtaining

Atlantis Pearl

Craft an Atlantis Pearl from four Prismarine Shards surrounding a Nautilus Shell:

The pearl is needed during the return phase of an expedition.

Atlantis Crystal

An Atlantis Crystal can be crafted from Prismarine Crystals and an Abyssal Core. The recipe produces 8 crystals:

You also receive 3 Atlantis Crystals as an expedition completion reward.

Sunken Relic

Craft a Sunken Relic by surrounding an Atlantis Pearl with Prismarine blocks:

Abyssal Core

The Abyssal Core is awarded when you successfully complete an Atlantis expedition. It is also the central ingredient in the Atlantis Crystal recipe.

Tidal Compass

The Tidal Compass is given to you automatically when you run /atlantis start.

Abilities And Mechanics

  • 1 Abyssal Core
  • 3 Atlantis Crystals
• Expedition materials remain in your inventory after completion.
• Atlantis Crystal and Sunken Relic are placeable blocks.

Progression And Strategy

1. Start the expedition in a convenient, memorable location so the anchor is easy to find.
2. Gather the 8 required Prismarine Shards before beginning the dive.
3. Craft an Atlantis Pearl in advance if you have a Nautilus Shell available.
4. Keep the required materials in your inventory while diving and returning.
5. Use /atlantis status if you are unsure whether you have reached the deep-water phase.

7. Use the Abyssal Core from your reward to craft 8 Atlantis Crystals, or craft a Sunken Relic with an Atlantis Pearl and Prismarine blocks.
