Four shards, five crystals

Guardians around an ocean monument drop both pieces. Elder guardians drop them too. Prismarine shards also come from breaking monument blocks. You need four shards and five crystals for one lantern.

Shards in the corners

Open the Crafting Table. Top: shard, crystal, shard. Middle: three crystals. Bottom: shard, crystal, shard. One sea lantern appears on the right; take it. The 2×2 inventory cannot hold this 3×3.

Light 15 underwater

Place it. The block shines at light 15 and keeps that light in water, the same ceiling as a lantern or glowstone. A silk-touch pickaxe picks the lantern back up; without Silk Touch it drops crystals. Sea lanterns stack to sixty-four.
