Bubble Coral
minecraft:bubble_coralBubble Coral is a plant-like decorative block that must be placed on the top or side of another block while submerged in water. It breaks instantly and, without Silk Touch, drops nothing at all.
Uses
- Reef Decoration — Placed decoratively in coral reef builds; bone meal applied to nearby coral blocks can spread new coral plants, including bubble coral, onto adjacent blocks.
Found In
- Warm ocean coral reef structures — Generates naturally growing on top of coral blocks and sand in warm oceans.
- Bone-mealed coral blocks — Can be grown by applying bone meal to a living coral block in warm ocean water.
Drops

FAQ
Why did my coral disappear when I broke it?
Coral plants only drop an item when mined with a Silk Touch tool; without it, breaking the block yields nothing.
Does Bubble Coral need water to survive?
Yes. At least one adjacent block must be water or waterlogged, or it wilts into Dead Bubble Coral within a few seconds.
What tool should I use to mine it?
Any tool works and breaks it instantly — there is no required tool tier, though Silk Touch is needed to keep the living coral as an item.
Can I grow more Bubble Coral?
Yes, by applying bone meal to a nearby living coral block or coral plant while it is underwater in a warm ocean biome.
