Description
Dead Fire Coral is the pale bleached counterpart to living fire coral and it offers a stark visual contrast useful for ruined reef and shipwreck builds. While living fire coral is bright and lively the dead variant has lost its color and its ability to support marine life making it suitable for creating grim ocean scenes and museum like displays. The shape retains the branching structure of the living type but with a washed out finish that communicates environmental stress or age. Players use dead fire coral to craft thematic scenes of decline or to create contrast with living coral when constructing reef mosaics that show both life and decay. The block is practical because it can be placed in dry locations without needing water which makes it flexible for indoor exhibits or land based displays. When combined with sand gravel stone and other dead coral types it helps craft believable wreck sites and ocean ruin narratives. Collecting dead fire coral involves exploring warm ocean biomes and gathering fragments from reef beds or salvage areas. Because it is non living the block is easy to transport and arrange in displays that require a muted coral appearance. For builders who prefer subtle atmospheric storytelling dead fire coral is an effective material for evoking a sense of time and environmental change.
What is Dead Fire Coral?
Dead Fire Coral is a decorative block that resembles fire coral but in a bleached pale state. It is used to suggest ruined reefs and adds organic branching texture to builds. The block does not need to stay submerged and can be used on land for display purposes.
Where to find Dead Fire Coral
Dead fire coral is commonly found in degraded reef areas near shipwrecks and ocean ruins within warm ocean biomes. It appears where coral has been killed by environmental factors and is often scattered among sand and broken reef structures.
How to get Dead Fire Coral
Mine dead fire coral with any tool or collect it from drops when clearing degraded reef areas. Use boats to reach reefs and gather material systematically to stockpile enough for larger builds. Since the block is already dead it is safe to transport and place in dry environments.
