Dead Bubble Coral — Minecraft block

Overview

Minecraft classifies Dead Bubble Coral as an underwater block. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0. Anything below a wooden pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop.

It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels. With a blast resistance of only 0 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.

No recipe takes it as an ingredient.

How long it takes to break

Dead Bubble Coral sits at hardness 0: 0 seconds per block with your fists, 0 with the correct netherite tool.

The block still breaks with a weaker tool, but below wooden it yields nothing at all — the time is spent and the drop is lost, which is the single most common way players waste a vein.

Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, and on something this soft that reaches instant mining almost at once.

Properties

Dead Bubble Coral resists blasts at 0, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. Being renewable, it can be produced indefinitely in one world. A pickaxe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.

Transparent: Yes
Required tool: Wooden Pickaxe
Renewable: Yes
