Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Breaking[edit | edit source]
Dead coral blocks can be obtained with any type of pickaxe. They can also be obtained by mining the respective live variant of coral blocks without Silk Touch.

Natural generation[edit | edit source]
In Bedrock Edition, dead coral blocks naturally generate in coral reef structures, which can be found in warm oceans. In Java Edition, dead coral blocks do not generate naturally.
Post-generation[edit | edit source]
If a live coral block is placed outside of water, it transforms into its respective dead coral block after a few seconds — a grayscale version of the coral block. A coral block still dies if the game rule randomTickSpeed
is set to 0
.[1]
Usage[edit | edit source]
Dead coral blocks can be used for building or as decoration blocks. Unlike live coral blocks, dead coral blocks cannot be used for farming sea pickles. It is not possible to turn a dead coral block back into a live coral block.
Note blocks[edit | edit source]
All types of dead coral blocks can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.
