Coral fans are non-solid blocks that come in 5 variants: tube, brain, bubble, fire, and horn.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

Coral fans can be mined instantly but can be obtained only when mined with a Silk Touch enchanted tool. Breaking coral fans without Silk Touch destroys the coral fan.

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

Coral fans naturally generate in coral reef structures.

Post-generation[edit | edit source]

Bone meal[edit | edit source]

When bone meal is used in warm ocean biomes, it has a chance of generating coral fans.

Wall Coral Fans[edit | edit source]

Wall coral fans cannot be obtained through vanilla means in Bedrock Edition except through add-ons or inventory editing, though the item form is badly glitched to the point of being completely nameless.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Coral fans can be used for building or as decoration blocks.

Placement[edit | edit source]

All coral fans can be placed on the four sides and the top surface of blocks; they cannot be placed on the bottom surface.

Water[edit | edit source]

In order for coral fans to stay alive, they must be placed in water. In Java Edition, coral fans can also be placed outside of water as long as one of the blocks surrounding it contains water. If placed outside of water, they transform into their respective dead coral fan immediately‌[Bedrock Edition only][1] or after 3 to 4.95 seconds‌[Java Edition only]. Once a coral fan dies, it is not possible to turn a dead coral fan back into a live coral fan.

Pushing with pistons[edit | edit source]

Live coral fans cannot be pushed by pistons (attempting to do so results in the coral fan breaking).

Sounds[edit | edit source]
