Disambig color.svg This article is about the solid block. For the non-solid plant, see Coral. For other kinds of corals, see Coral (disambiguation).

A coral block is a solid block that comes in five variants: tube, brain, bubble, fire, and horn.

A dead coral block is a dead variant of a coral block.

Occurrence[edit]

Natural generation[edit]

Coral blocks and dead coral blocks naturally generate in coral reef structures. These are found in warm oceans.

Obtaining[edit]

Loot[edit]

From block loot[edit]

Coral blocks can be obtained only with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch; otherwise, they drop the respective dead coral block. Dead coral blocks can be obtained with any type of pickaxe.

From trading[edit]

In Java Edition, one coral block can be bought from wandering traders for 3 emeralds, while in Bedrock Edition, 3 of the same coral block can be bought for 1 emerald.

Usage[edit]

Info[edit]

Schematic of valid block placements for coral blocks
with water around. Several ways are shown where the
arrangement would cause coral blocks to stay alive
or die.

Coral blocks and their dead variants can be used as building or decoration blocks.

Breaking[edit]

Coral blocks can be obtained only with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch; otherwise, they drop the respective dead coral block. Dead coral blocks can be obtained with any type of pickaxe.

Block loot[edit]

Sea pickle farm blocks[edit]

If sea pickles are planted on coral blocks, using bone meal on the sea pickles increases the number of sea pickles and creates more sea pickles on nearby coral blocks. Specifically, they can spread to the original sea pickle's level or one level below, out to a horizontal taxicab distance of 2. This is the only way to farm renewable sea pickles.

Dead coral blocks[edit]

In order for a coral block to stay alive, at least one of the six directly adjacent blocks must be water. If placed outside of water, it transforms into its respective dead coral block after a few seconds — a grayscale version of the coral block.

Sounds[edit]

 The following sounds section uses an outdated format and should be redone using {{Sound table}}.
You can help by converting the contents of this section into a sound table template.
Examples can be seen at Bee#Sounds and Ladder#Sounds.
The wikicode should be laid out neatly as in these examples for improved readability.
Remember to include a foot parameter so the table appears in the correct place. Do NOT convert the table using Visual Editor.

Java Edition Alpha
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."
Java Edition
October 5, 2012Coral were jokingly teased in the fake snapshot 12marc40awesome, along with fish mobs and "fish blocks".
