Spawning Elder Guardians For Diver (Custom Item)

[KingWither]

Since I put my workers on Diver I'm getting impatient with the last few levels. You know me, once something bothers me, I come up with a solution.

I propose we provide a custom item recipe/custom recipe that gives an Elder Guardian spawn egg (not used in changing spawner types). The payout/exp might need to get reworked, but Elder Guardians could be the equivalent to spawning Withers for other jobs. Attached is my suggested material cost: 4 Dark Prismarine blocks, 4 Gold blocks, and 1 Sea Lantern.

Considering a single Ocean Monument houses 8 gold blocks within a dark prismarine casing, I thought it would be a fitting and balanced recipe, also considering that 2 Elder Guardians can spawn in a single Monument. This wouldn't be too difficult to implement, and it would make the Diver job more interesting and useful.

Now that I think about it, maybe making the dark pris on the corners would "enclose" the gold, but i'd have to see how that looks later.

Hey there KingWither,

Thank you for making this suggestion! I like the idea a lot and the Economy Team will be looking further into it and how it would function. Keep in mind it may not function / be used exactly how you described it, but the feature itself is very cool and will be looked into!
