How to get Coral in Minecraft

Coral is a beautiful underwater sea plant in Minecraft. This blog post will tell you everything there is to know about coral and its uses.

Method 1 (Mining)

1. Obtain a pickaxe and enchant it with silk touch.

2. Locate a coral reef which can be found in oceans.

3. Mine the coral in the reef, with the silk touch pickaxe. It should drop as an item you can pick up.

Method 2 (Bone Meal)

1. Convert bones into bone meal by using a crafting grid/table.

2. Apply the bone meal, underwater, to blocks such as sand or gravel.

3. There is a chance for coral (along with seagrass) to grow on the block.

Uses of Coral

Coral is useful for many redstone devices such as TNT Dupers or they can also be used as just a decoration block.

Fun Fact

Just like real life, coral needs water to survive. Make sure that your coral is touched by water at all times to keep it alive!
