2. Add Items to make a Conduit

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a conduit, place 1 heart of the sea and 8 nautilus shells in the 3x3 crafting grid.

In the second row, there should be 1 nautilus shell in the first box, 1 heart of the sea in the second box, and 1 nautilus shell in the third box. In the third row, there should be 3 nautilus shells.
