What Is Brain Coral in Minecraft?

Brain Coral is a pink, ruffled coral plant that grows on the seafloor of warm ocean biomes. It has a distinctive brain-like shape with wavy folds.

How Does Brain Coral Work?

  • It must be kept in water to stay alive. Remove it from water and it quickly turns into grey Dead Brain Coral.
  • A Silk Touch hoe (or any Silk Touch tool) is needed to collect it alive - breaking without Silk Touch destroys it.
  • It can only be placed on solid blocks underwater.
