FAQ
Why did my Brain Coral Block turn gray?
It lost contact with water on all six adjacent sides and died into a Dead Brain Coral Block; this cannot be reversed.
Do I need Silk Touch to keep it alive when mining?
Yes, without Silk Touch it drops the dead coral block variant instead of the living one.
What tool do I need to mine it?
Any pickaxe, even wooden, breaks it.
Is Brain Coral Block flammable?
No, coral blocks do not burn.
