How to Mine Coral in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to gather those vibrant coral blocks in Minecraft’s vast underwater worlds? You’re not alone! Coral mining can add a splash of color to your creations.
So, how do you mine coral in Minecraft? Let’s dive into the details.
The Quick Answer: Use Silk Touch
To successfully mine coral in Minecraft without destroying it, you need a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. This enchantment allows you to obtain blocks in their original form.
Without Silk Touch, when you try to mine coral, it will sadly turn into dead coral. Dead coral doesn’t have the same vibrant colors as live coral, making Silk Touch essential for your underwater decorating needs.
Why Silk Touch is Your Underwater Friend
The beauty of using Silk Touch lies in its ability to preserve the life and color of the coral blocks. This means you can transport and use these blocks in your construction projects, maintaining their lively hues.
Remember, coral needs to be placed in water to stay alive. If you place it on land or outside of water, it will turn gray and lifeless. So, when you’re designing with coral, think like an underwater architect!
