A sponge might be a common object in the real world, but it is surprisingly rare in Minecraft. It is only found in some Ocean Monuments in a special sponge room. Since the structure is submerged in water, the sponges will also be completely wet.

These items can be mined with any tool and obtained as blocks. The main role of sponges is to quickly remove water from anywhere. When a dry sponge is placed in a small water body, it can completely suck in all the water and make the area dry. The wet sponge can then be dried in various ways.

In every single Ocean Monument, there is a large room where some ancient race secretly hid gold blocks. The room shown in the picture above is the exact room where players will find gold blocks hidden behind the sea lanterns and dark prismarine blocks.

This is one of the best items to loot from the structure since gold can be used in various ways, like making golden food items and other gold blocks.

Armor trims are items through which players can apply various unique designs onto their armor parts. One of these is called tide armor trim, which players can only get by killing elder guardians. Since elder guardians only spawn inside Ocean Monuments, this armor trim can be considered a structure loot.

Each structure has three elder guardians, who have a 20% of dropping the armor trim. Hence, there is a strong chance that players can get at least one of them. The armor trim can later be duplicated on a crafting table using seven diamonds and one prismarine block.

Apart from mining sea lanterns, it can also be obtained by killing guardians and elder guardians. Later on, prismarine crystals can be used to make sea lanterns by combining them with prismarine shards.
