Bubble Coral Block
minecraft:bubble_coral_blockBubble Coral Block is one of five coral block variants that generate naturally in coral reef structures within warm ocean biomes. Mining it with a Silk Touch-enchanted tool preserves the living block; otherwise it drops as its grayscale dead coral block form. It must stay adjacent to water or it dies and converts to dead coral block within seconds, so it is often used as a hydrated base for sea pickle farms and underwater decoration.
