Overview
Dead Fire Coral Fan is an underwater block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. With a hardness of 0 it gives way immediately under almost any tool. It needs at least a wooden pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing.
Because it is transparent it does not block light. A blast resistance of 0 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
How long it takes to break
Dead Fire Coral Fan 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.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed, which on a block this soft tips over into instant mining very early.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | instant | instant | instant |
| Wooden | instant | instant | instant |
| Stone | instant | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
