How to Farm Corals from Murk Skeletons

Locating Murk Skeletons

Murk skeletons spawn exclusively in warm ocean biomes underwater. Search warm ocean areas at various depths to find them among coral formations.

Harvesting Corals

Unlike other skeleton variants, Murks have a unique property: you can use shears on them to harvest live or dead corals directly. This is the primary reason to seek them out.

Approach a Murk skeleton while holding shears and interact with it to collect coral. You can obtain both live corals (which remain animated and colorful) and dead corals (the bleached variants) this way.

Farming Strategy

If you want to set up a coral farm, consider building a spawning platform in a warm ocean biome. Create an underwater chamber where Murks can spawn naturally, then use shears to harvest corals. This is more efficient than searching for natural coral blocks, especially if you need large quantities for decoration or other projects.

Note that this mechanic makes Murks valuable for players focused on ocean-themed building projects.
