Tube Coral
minecraft:tube_coralTube Coral is one of five decorative coral variants that generate in coral reef structures within warm ocean biomes. It must stay submerged in water or waterlogged to survive — once exposed to air it dies and turns into Dead Tube Coral within a few seconds.
Found In
- Warm ocean coral reefs — Generates naturally alongside coral fans, coral blocks, and sea creatures in warm ocean biomes.
- Bone-mealed ocean floors — Applying bone meal to dirt, sand, gravel, or clay underwater in a warm ocean can grow new coral, including tube coral.

FAQ
Can I pick up Tube Coral without it dying?
Yes, but only with a Silk Touch tool. Mining it any other way destroys it instantly with no drop, since live coral cannot survive out of water anyway.
What happens if Tube Coral is removed from water?
It dies and converts into Dead Tube Coral within a few seconds. This transformation cannot be reversed.
Does Tube Coral need a specific tool to mine?
No. It breaks instantly with any tool or by hand — the only requirement to keep the drop is Silk Touch.
Is Tube Coral renewable?
Yes, indirectly — bone meal applied to appropriate blocks underwater in warm oceans can generate more coral over time.
