FAQ

Do I need Silk Touch to collect Brain Coral?

Yes. Mining it without Silk Touch destroys it with no drop; only a Silk Touch tool collects the block itself.

What happens if Brain Coral is removed from water?

It dies within a few seconds and turns into Dead Brain Coral, an irreversible change.

Is Brain Coral renewable?

Yes, since 1.13.1 bone meal can grow new coral on suitable blocks in warm ocean biomes.
