FAQ
What happens if Horn Coral Block leaves water?
It dies within a few seconds and becomes Dead Horn Coral Block permanently — it cannot be revived once dead.
Do I need Silk Touch to keep it alive?
Yes. Mining without Silk Touch always drops the dead variant; only Silk Touch drops the living Horn Coral Block itself.
What tool do I need to mine it?
Any pickaxe works — there is no minimum tier requirement, so even a wooden pickaxe drops it.
Is Fortune useful on coral blocks?
No. Fortune has no effect on the drop; you get exactly one block either way.
