Fire Coral Block
minecraft:fire_coral_blockFire Coral Block is a living coral variant that generates in warm ocean coral reefs. It must stay adjacent to water on at least one side or it quickly dies, turning into a grayscale Dead Fire Coral Block.
Uses
- Sea Pickle farming — Bone meal applied to a living coral block can spread sea pickles onto it, making coral reefs a useful pickle farm site.
- Decoration — Used for vivid reef-themed builds; without water contact it becomes the muted Dead Fire Coral Block instead.
Found In
- Warm Ocean coral reefs — Naturally generates in coral reef structures within warm ocean biomes.
- Wandering Trader — Occasionally purchasable, making the block a renewable resource.

FAQ
How do I keep Fire Coral Block alive?
Keep at least one of the six adjacent blocks as water or a waterlogged block; otherwise it dies within seconds and becomes Dead Fire Coral Block.
Do I need Silk Touch to get the living block?
Yes. Mining without Silk Touch always drops the dead coral block variant instead of the living one.
What tool should I use?
Any pickaxe works; even a wooden pickaxe can mine it, though a better pickaxe mines it faster.
Is Fire Coral Block renewable?
Yes, via bone meal spreading nearby coral and through occasional Wandering Trader purchases.
