How to get Tube Coral in Survival Mode
You can add tube coral to your inventory in Survival mode by finding them growing in a Warm Ocean biome and gathering them. So, let's get started!
1. Find Tube Coral
First, you need to find tube coral in your Minecraft world. Tube coral is usually found growing underwater in a Coral Reef in the Warm Ocean biome.
This is what tube coral looks like:
2. Break the Tube Coral
The game control to break the tube coral depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the coral plant.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the coral plant.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
- For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the coral plant.
- For Education Edition, left click and hold on the coral plant.
The tube coral will break and a smaller tube coral will appear floating in the water. If you wait too long, the tube coral will float to the top of the water.
3. Pick up the Tube Coral
Make sure you pick up the tube coral before it disappears.
Once you pick up the tube coral, it will appear in your hotbar.
Tube coral is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
