Fire Coral Block Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a red coral block called a Fire Coral Block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a fire coral block is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. Gathering fire coral blocks is a bit tricky in Minecraft because you need to mine it with a pickaxe that is enchanted with Silk Touch.

Let’s explore how to add a fire coral block to your inventory.

Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.19.4
  • Platform is the platform that applies.

How to get a Fire Coral Block in Survival Mode

You can add a fire coral block to your inventory in Survival mode by finding them growing in a Warm Ocean biome and mining them with a pickaxe with Silk Touch. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Fire Coral Block

First, you need to find a fire coral block in your Minecraft world. A fire coral block is a red coral that is usually found growing underwater in a Coral Reef in the Warm Ocean biome.

2. Hold a Pickaxe with Silk Touch

To mine a fire coral block, you need to dig up the fire coral block with a pickaxe with Silk Touch. These are the pickaxes you can choose from.

If you try to mine the fire coral block with your hand or other tool (that is not a pickaxe), the small block of fire coral will not appear. And you will not be able to add the fire coral block to your inventory.

In this example, we are going to use a diamond pickaxe that is enchanted with Silk Touch.

3. Mine the Fire Coral Block

The game control to mine the fire coral block depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the fire coral block.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the fire coral block.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the fire coral block.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the fire coral block.

You will need to continue to mine until the fire coral block breaks and a smaller fire coral block appears floating in the water. If you wait too long, the fire coral block will float to the top of the water.

TIP: Normally when you mine a fire coral block, you will get a dead fire coral block. However, when you mine the fire coral block using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, you will get the living fire coral block itself as a drop.

4. Pick up the Fire Coral Block

Make sure you pick up the fire coral block before it disappears.
