Dead Brain Coral Fan is a lifeless, non-solid coral decoration that sits atop a block, unlike the full Dead Brain Coral Block. It requires Silk Touch to collect since it drops nothing when broken normally.

FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Dead Brain Coral Fan?

Any tool works and it breaks instantly, but a hoe is the fastest option.

Do I need Silk Touch to keep the fan?

Yes. Mining a coral fan without Silk Touch destroys it with no drop at all, even though it is already dead.

Can I place it anywhere?

Yes, on land or underwater, on top of any solid block — unlike live coral fans it never dies further or changes.

What is the difference from Dead Brain Coral Wall Fan?

The wall fan variant attaches to the side of a block instead of sitting on top of one; both are the same item once mined.
