FAQ
How do I harvest Fire Coral?
You must mine it with a Silk Touch enchanted tool. Any other tool destroys it instantly with no drop.
Why did my Fire Coral turn gray?
Coral dies when it is not touching water (or a waterlogged block) and converts into its dead variant after a few seconds.
Can Fire Coral be placed anywhere?
It can be placed anywhere, but it only stays alive if at least one adjacent block is water or waterlogged.
Does Fire Coral burn?
No, coral blocks are not flammable and are unaffected by fire or lava contact from the side.
