Coral is a type of non-solid block that comes in five variants: tube, brain, bubble, fire, and horn.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

Coral generated in warm oceans.

Coral can be broken instantly by hand, but can be obtained only when mined with a Silk Touch enchanted tool. Mining coral does not decrease the Silk Touch tool's durability.

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

Coral naturally generates in coral reef structures found in warm ocean biomes.

Post-generation[edit | edit source]

When using bone meal on dirt, coarse dirt, sand, red sand, gravel, or clay in warm ocean biomes, coral generates in place of some of the seagrass in a 5 X 5 area. In Bedrock Edition, the same can happen in any biomes as long as bone meal is used in a water source above the aforementioned solid blocks.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Coral can be used as a building or decoration block.

Placement[edit | edit source]

In order for coral to stay alive, at least one of the blocks surrounding it must be water or a waterlogged block. If placed outside of water, it dies and transforms into its respective dead coral after 3 to 4.95 seconds‌[Java Edition only] or 2 to 9.95 seconds‌[Bedrock Edition only]. Coral dies even when the game rule randomTickSpeed is set to 0.[1] Once a coral turns into its dead variant, it is not possible to turn it back into a live variant.

Note Blocks[edit | edit source]

All types of coral can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

June 28, 2010Notch mentioned on his blog: "I tried adding corals, but it's really hard to draw a single block that looks like corals, since it's really more about crazy amounts of variation and diversity. But I do know that the corals will have tiny fish particles around them."
