What is Tube Coral in Minecraft?
Tube coral is a small, plant like organism that grows on the ocean floor. It has a vibrant blue color and a shape that looks like a cluster of small tubes. Its main purpose is to be a beautiful decorative item that adds color and life to the ocean. Players can use tube coral to decorate their own custom coral reefs, aquariums, or any underwater build. It is one of five types of coral fans. A key feature of tube coral is that it must be placed in water to stay alive. If it is not in water, it will quickly die and turn a lifeless gray.
How to get Tube Coral in Minecraft
The only way to get tube coral is to find it. It cannot be crafted. Tube coral generates naturally on the tops and sides of coral blocks in the coral reef parts of warm ocean biomes. You will see its bright blue color standing out against the other corals. To collect it, you must break it with a pickaxe that has the Silk Touch enchantment. If you break it with your hand or any other tool, it will just break and you will get nothing. So, you will need to get a Silk Touch pickaxe and some water breathing potions to go exploring in the coral reefs to collect this beautiful item.
How to use Tube Coral in Minecraft
The main use for tube coral is for decoration. To keep its beautiful blue color, you must place it in a water source block. You can place it on the top or sides of most solid blocks, as long as it is underwater. It is perfect for adding a splash of color and detail to an aquarium or an underwater base. If you place it on dry land, it will quickly turn into a dead tube coral, which is gray. This can also be a useful decorative item for creating a fossil bed or a dried out reef. Tube coral has no other special functions, but its beautiful appearance makes it a highly sought after decorative item for builders.
