Minecraft:Coral Block

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

Obtaining

Breaking

Coral blocks can be obtained only with a pickaxe enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch; if mined with a pickaxe not enchanted with Silk Touch, they drop the respective Minecraft:dead coral block. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Coral blocks naturally generate in Minecraft:coral reef structures, which can be found in Minecraft:warm oceans.

Trading

Minecraft:Wandering traders may sell 1 of any coral block for 3 Minecraft:emeralds. Template:Trade sources

Mob loot

Template:IN, Minecraft:wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Minecraft:Looting) to drop 1 coral block when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an Minecraft:emerald.

Usage

Template:FakeImage Coral blocks can be used for building or as decoration blocks.

Placement

In order for a coral block to stay alive, at least one of the six directly adjacent blocks must be Minecraft:water or a waterlogged block. If placed outside of water, it transforms into its respective Minecraft:dead coral block after 3 to 4.95 secondsTemplate:Only or 2.25 secondsTemplate:Only — a grayscale version of the coral block. A coral block still dies if the Minecraft:game rule randomTickSpeed is set to Template:Cd.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Once a coral block dies, it is not possible to turn a dead coral block into a live coral block.

Template:IN, coral blocks do not die if they are surrounded by any non-air blocks.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Sea pickle farm blocks

If Minecraft:sea pickles are planted on live coral blocks, using Minecraft: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 Minecraft:taxicab distance of 2. This only works on living coral blocks, not dead coral blocks.
