How to get Brain Coral in Survival Mode
You can add brain 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 Brain Coral
First, you need to find brain coral in your Minecraft world. Brain coral is usually found growing underwater in a Coral Reef in the Warm Ocean biome.
This is what brain coral looks like:
2. Break the Brain Coral
The game control to break the brain 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 brain coral will break and a smaller brain coral will appear floating in the water. If you wait too long, the brain coral will float to the top of the water.
3. Pick up the Brain Coral
Make sure you pick up the brain coral before it disappears.
Once you pick up the brain coral, it will appear in your hotbar.
Brain coral is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
