Coral is a type of Minecraft block that players will only find in the depths of the Minecraft ocean. It is a very colorful block and isn't too hard for players to spot while underwater.

Underwater in Minecraft can be dark but due to the bright fluorescent colors of the coral, players should be able to see it really well. Since coral is underwater, if players want to mine it, they will have to be underwater for a decent amount of time.

When entering the water, bubbles will appear in the bottom right of the player's screen. These bubbles indicate the player’s oxygen levels, and how much longer they can be underwater before incurring drowning damage.

It is possible for players to drown underwater in Minecraft, and they can lose all of their valuable items. To prevent this from happening, players should enchant a helmet with respiration, or take potions of water breathing.

The helmet will allow them to stay underwater for much longer without worrying about the decreasing oxygen levels. The potion makes players completely resistant to losing oxygen for a limited time.

Coral will break pretty fast when it is mined using anything in Minecraft. In fact, it can break almost instantly.

Whether the coral is dead or alive, the player must use a pickaxe enchanted with silk touch to collect them. If they happen to mine with anything other than what is mentioned, the plant will break, making it unobtainable.
