Frequently asked questions

How do I wax a coral block?
Right-click any coral block with a honeycomb in your hand. The coral will become waxed and stop drying out when exposed to air.
Can I wax dead coral?
No, you can only wax living coral blocks. Dead coral cannot be waxed and will not regain its color.
What happens if I break a waxed coral block?
Waxed coral blocks drop as items when broken, allowing you to pick them up and place them elsewhere without them drying out.
Do waxed coral blocks need water to stay alive?
No, waxed coral blocks are immune to drying out and can be placed anywhere—on land, in the air, or in any environment.
Can I remove the wax from coral?
You can break the waxed coral block and place it again, but there is no mechanic to unwax an already-waxed block.
Do I need a specific type of honeycomb?
You use standard honeycomb from bee nests or hives—the same honeycomb used for waxing copper blocks.
Will waxed coral blocks spread or grow?
No, waxed coral blocks are static and will not spread to adjacent blocks or grow over time.
Can I wax coral in creative mode?
Yes, waxing coral works the same way in creative mode as in survival mode.
Does this mod affect performance?
The mod has minimal performance impact since it only adds a simple waxing mechanic to existing coral blocks.
Can I use waxed coral with other mods?
Waxed coral blocks work like standard Minecraft blocks and are compatible with most mods, though behavior may vary with mods that heavily modify block mechanics.
