Finding Storm Shards

Find Storm Shards by mining natural ore or defeating mobs in the main overworld, Frontier, Nether and End. The restrictions below apply.

Source	Chance per block or mob	Shards on a drop
Emerald ore	1%	1–2
Diamond ore or ancient debris	0.75%	1–2
Lapis ore	0.25%	1
Warden	50%	1–2
Ender Dragon	50%	1–3
Elder Guardian	25%	1–2
Wither	5%	1–3
Piglin Brute	2%	1
Evoker or Breeze	0.5%	1

Deepslate versions of the ores in the table have the same chances as their ordinary counterparts. Other ores and hostile mobs can have smaller chances. A drop is never guaranteed.

Mine natural blocks with the appropriate tool and without Silk Touch. Player-placed and piston-moved ore cannot drop shards, nor can ore in chunks generated before shard tracking began. Spawner and spawn-egg mobs, raids and several other artificial spawns cannot drop them. Trial-spawner Breezes can drop shards.
