Sea pickles are light-emitting static blocks that spawn naturally in warm oceans as of Java Edition 1.13. They can be placed in groups of up to four, and give off more light as more are added.

Sea Pickles

Natural Generation & Placement

Sea pickles raise the light level by three each time one is placed underwater, and can be placed like turtle eggs. Sea pickles generate in warm oceans, especially near coral reefs. When placed on dry land, sea pickles will not emit light. In addition to emitting light, being underwater gives the sea pickle a texture at the top that resembles "regurgitated intestines".

Sea pickles will spread underwater to adjacent blocks in a similar way to how mycelium and grass spread to dirt blocks. You can place 1-4 Sea Pickles per block. If you place less than 4, the amount in the block will eventually grow to 4 per block, which can be used to farm Sea Pickles. Sea Pickles can also appear as a decorative block in desert village houses.

Wandering traders will sell sea pickles in exchange for emeralds.

Usage

Sea pickles can be smelted into lime dye. They can also be used to level up a composter.

Trivia

In Bedrock Edition, there is an achievement titled "One Pickle, Two Pickle, Sea Pickle, Four", which can be obtained by placing four sea pickles in a group.

Sea pickles in Minecraft are a great alternative underwater light-source, that can be found naturally generated in coral reefs and warm ocean biomes.

In the real world, sea pickles collect light-producing organisms that organize in cylindrical shaped colonies. Minecraft players can find a version of these creatures of the sea in warm ocean biomes in-game.

While underwater, sea pickles emit a pretty substantial amount of light. A group of four sea pickles, actually emit the same light level as a block of growstone. This makes sea pickles a great light source that can be used for underwater projects.

This article will explain where sea pickles can be found in Minecraft and break down the various uses for them in-game.

The uses for sea pickles in Minecraft

Sea pickles in Minecraft thrive in warm ocean environments, and can be found naturally generated in those biomes. There is about a one in six chance for sea pickle colonies to spawn in any given appropriate chunk.

Players who want to get their hands on as many sea pickles as possible will find the most success by searching through a coral reef.

Sea pickles generate in large quantities in coral blocks in that specific biome type, and players will be able to stuff their pockets with these precious organisms quickly.

Any Minecraft player who encounters difficulty finding a coral reef, can refer to this guide, which details how to find almost any biome in Minecraft for any particular game world.

Like many plants, bone meal can be used to produce additional sea pickles at a near-instant rate. If used on a colony of sea blocks, the sea pickles on that block will increase in number.

Additional sea pickles will also generate on any coral blocks within a 5x5 radius. Unfortunately, sea pickles will not grow or spread naturally.

Wandering traders have a chance to sell sea pickles at the price of two emeralds per sea pickle.

Using Sea Pickles

Sea pickles are an excellent light source when they are underwater and can illuminate darker areas.

Just one sea pickle will produce a light level of six and increase by three light levels for every additional sea pickle added. When a block has four sea pickles placed on it, it will emit a light level of 15.

The light level produced is the same as a glowstone block, making sea pickles one of the best light sources for any underwater builds or adventurers.

Lime Dye can also be extracted from sea pickles by smelting them at a furnace with a charcoal fuel source.

Sea pickles can also be used for composting, and possess a 65% chance to raise the compost level of a composter by one.

There are many other creative uses for sea pickles, which can be observed in the YouTube video above.

Overall, sea pickles are a great underwater light source, can be used to get lime dye, and can be utilized for a variety of quirky tasks in Minecraft

How does a sea pickle glow?

A new study describes a bioluminescent gene that could be the reason that so-called 'sea pickles,' or pyrosomes, an underwater free-floating colony of thousands of tiny animals, reverberate in blue-green light.

Are sea pickles bioluminescent?

Millions of bioluminescent, tube-shaped colonies of creatures known as sea pickles (Pyrosoma atlanticum) are filling the waters off the U.S. West Coast all the way up to Alaska, Oregon Public Broadcasting reports.

How do you turn on sea pickles?

First, the player must plant a sea pickle underwater on top of a coral block. A dispenser puts bonemeal on the sea pickle, causing it to multiply to 4 pickles. Then, the block underneath the pickles can be moved, or they are directly broken with a piston.
