Dead Fire Coral Block
minecraft:dead_fire_coral_blockDead Fire Coral Block is the gray, lifeless variant of the Fire Coral Block, obtained when the living block is mined without Silk Touch or dies after being left outside of water for a few seconds. It functions as a solid, non-flammable building block with no aquatic effects, unlike its living counterpart which can inflict the Fire status effect on contact. The transformation from living to dead coral is permanent and cannot be undone by any means in vanilla Minecraft.
