Coral Fan Bubble

What is a Bubble Coral Fan?

A Bubble Coral Fan is a vibrant purple, branching coral variant in Minecraft that generates naturally in warm ocean biomes. It is part of the coral family and adds a dynamic, natural touch to underwater builds. When placed outside of water, it dries out and becomes a Dead Bubble Coral Fan, losing its bright color.

Where Can a Bubble Coral Fan Be Found?

Bubble Coral Fans generate naturally in warm ocean biomes as part of coral reef structures. They can only be collected using a Silk Touch tool; otherwise, breaking them will destroy the coral. Players may also acquire Bubble Coral Fans through Wandering Trader trades. More details about coral reef formations can be found in the Warm Ocean article.

What Can Players Do with a Bubble Coral Fan?

Bubble Coral Fans are primarily used for decoration in underwater environments, aquariums, and coral reef builds. They can be placed on underwater surfaces to create natural-looking seascapes.

Interesting Fact or Real-Life Connection

In real-world oceans, coral fans are soft corals that sway with ocean currents, providing shelter and breeding grounds for small fish and marine organisms. Minecraft’s Bubble Coral Fan replicates this real-life biodiversity by adding natural elements to coral reef structures.
