It goes off when a ship, a boat or a creature comes too close. ## Recipe ![Underwater Mine recipe](https://1371052705-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FV22FKtcNjWW37kUFLLdR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-745efca7b8306e7fd898350229566d8765a8594e%2Funderwater_mine.png?alt=media) ## How to use it The mine only works on a ship. Place it on a small Aeronautics contraption and assemble it. From then on it is armed. It goes off when, within 3 blocks: * a living creature or a player comes close, * a boat passes, * another ship touches its zone. The player who placed it, and their own ships, never set it off. A mine with 5 blocks or fewer floats up to the surface on its own. A bigger one does not. ## The explosion * It hurts everything within 10 blocks, up to 160 damage right next to it, and throws them back. * It tears out the blocks of nearby ships within 8 blocks of the blast. * It shakes the camera of everyone near it. ## Good to know * Mines show up on the [Sonar](/create-deep-seas-wiki/deep-seas/instruments/sonar.md), so a careful captain can spot them. {% hint style="success" %} **Details to look for** * The blast is a real underwater shockwave: the camera of everyone nearby shakes, and blocks torn out of the ships fly off as debris. * Breaking blocks off your own mine does not set it off, the pieces belong to you. {% endhint %} ## Video {% hint style="info" %} Video coming soon. {% endhint %}
