Brain Coral Fan
minecraft:brain_coral_fanA pink, non-solid decorative block that naturally spawns in coral reef structures within warm ocean biomes. It can be placed on the tops and sides of blocks for underwater aesthetics, but like other coral fans it needs adjacent water to remain alive and requires Silk Touch to collect without dying.
FAQ
How do I obtain a brain coral fan?
It can be mined instantly, but only a tool enchanted with Silk Touch collects it as an item; mining without Silk Touch destroys it. It naturally spawns in warm ocean coral reefs.
What happens if a brain coral fan is placed outside of water?
In Bedrock Edition it immediately turns into its dead coral fan variant, while in Java Edition this transformation happens after roughly 3 to 4.95 seconds.
Can pistons move a live brain coral fan?
No. Live coral fans cannot be pushed by pistons—attempting to do so breaks the coral fan instead.
Can I get more brain coral fans after finding them naturally?
Using bone meal in warm ocean biomes has a chance of generating additional coral fans, making them a renewable resource in the right biome.
