How to make a Tube Coral Fan in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a blue coral fan called a Tube Coral Fan with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a tube coral fan 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 a tube coral fan is a bit tricky in Minecraft because you need to mine it with a tool that is enchanted with Silk Touch.
