Dead Bubble Coral
minecraft:dead_bubble_coralDead Bubble Coral is the lifeless, gray form of Bubble Coral, a small non-solid plant block that grows on coral blocks. It can be mined instantly with any tool but is only obtainable in item form using a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe in Java Edition, since without Silk Touch it drops nothing. It transforms permanently from the living plant within a few seconds of being exposed to air, and unlike its living counterpart it no longer produces the rising-bubble particle effect.
