FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Dead Brain Coral Block?
Any pickaxe, wood tier or better. Mining without a pickaxe drops nothing.
Do I need Silk Touch to get the block?
No. Unlike live coral blocks, the dead variant drops itself with a normal pickaxe — no Silk Touch required.
Can a dead coral block be revived?
No. Once a coral block dies it stays dead permanently; bone meal has no effect on it.
How do I get a live coral block if I only have dead ones?
You must mine a living Brain Coral Block with Silk Touch and keep it submerged in water to prevent it from dying again.
