A dead coral is the dead variant of coral. There are five variants total: tube, brain, bubble, fire, and horn.

Obtaining

Breaking

Dead coral can be broken instantly with any tool. It can only be obtained with any Silk Touch enchanted tool in Bedrock Edition or a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe in Java Edition.[1]

  • italicized can be instant mined

Post-generation

Dead coral is created when coral is placed out of water. When live coral is placed outside of water, it dies and transforms into its respective dead coral after 3 to 5 seconds. Coral dies even when the game rule randomTickSpeed is set to 0.[2]

Usage

Dead coral can be used as a building or decoration block in and outside of water.

Dead coral cannot be turned back into living coral.

Pushing with pistons

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

Issues

Issues relating to "Dead Coral" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

  • On the Legacy Console Edition (except Xbox One and Nintendo Switch), only the live variants of coral are available. This is due to dead coral being added on Bedrock Edition in Bedrock Edition 1.13.0, several weeks after the last final update was released on PlayStation 4.
  • Although dead coral is unavailable on Legacy Console Edition, dead variants of coral blocks and coral fans are available on the respective platforms with Update Aquatic or newer.
