What is Tube Coral Block in Minecraft?
A tube coral block is a solid, vibrant blue block with a texture that looks like many small, packed tubes. It is one of the main structural blocks of the beautiful coral reefs found in warm oceans. Its main purpose is to be a colorful and unique building material. Players use the tube coral block to build stunning underwater structures, add a splash of bright blue color to their bases, or to create their own custom coral reefs. It is one of five types of coral blocks. A key feature of the tube coral block is that it must be in contact with water to keep its color. If it is placed on land, it will quickly die and turn a lifeless gray.
How to get Tube Coral Block in Minecraft
To get a living tube coral block, you need to be prepared with a special tool. First, you must find a coral reef in a warm ocean biome. These reefs are made up of large patches of colorful coral blocks, including the bright blue tube coral block. To collect the block without it breaking and dropping nothing, you must mine it with a pickaxe that has the Silk Touch enchantment. Using any other tool or a regular pickaxe will just destroy the block. It is also very important that the block is touching water when you mine it. If you remove the water around it, it will turn into a dead coral block. So, the best way is to swim down with some water breathing potions or a conduit and carefully mine the blocks with your Silk Touch pickaxe.
How to use Tube Coral Block in Minecraft
The main use for a tube coral block is for building and decoration. To keep its beautiful blue color, you must place it so that at least one of its sides is touching a water block. This makes it a perfect block for building the walls and floors of an underwater base or a grand aquarium. If you place it on dry land, it will quickly turn into a dead tube coral block, which is gray. This can also be a useful decorative block for creating ruins or fossil beds. A special use for all coral blocks, including the tube coral block, is with note blocks. If you place a note block on top of a tube coral block, the note block will produce a "bass drum" sound when you play it.
