Overview
Minecraft classifies Dead Horn Coral Fan as an underwater block. 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
Hardness 0 puts Dead Horn Coral Fan at 0 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
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 |
Properties
Dead Horn Coral Fan resists blasts at 0, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. 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.
