Natural generation

In Bedrock Edition, dead coral fans naturally generate in coral reef structures. Dead coral fans do not generate naturally in Java Edition.

Post-generation

Dead coral fans can be obtained by placing live coral fans outside of water, and it turns into its respective dead variant immediately‌ or after a few seconds‌.

Wall dead coral fans

Wall dead coral fans cannot be obtained through vanilla means. In Java Edition, they are completely unobtainable, but in Bedrock Edition, they can be obtained through add-ons or inventory editing, though the item form is badly glitched to the point of being completely nameless.

Usage

Dead coral fans can be used for building or as decoration blocks. It is not possible to turn a dead coral fan back into a live coral fan.

Placement

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

Pushing with pistons

In Java Edition dead coral fans can be moved by pistons as long as they are still "supported" in the new position (not floating).
