Coral Crafting
by Japhko
Coral Crafting lets players craft coral blocks from coral and coral fans, so reefs do not have to be stripped to get them.
What it does
Coral blocks are normally gathered by breaking living coral reefs. Coral Crafting adds recipes that turn corals and coral fans into coral blocks at a crafting table, giving a renewable source for builders who want the blocks without damaging the reefs they come from. Two recipe variants are included: a 3x3 version that uses the full grid, and a 2x2 version that asks for fewer corals.
The mod is aimed at survival players who find coral farming slow and somewhat grindy, and at builders who want a steady supply for ocean and underwater projects. It is distributed as a data pack as well as a mod, so it can also run on servers that load data packs. The server must run the mod, while players joining without it still see the rest of the game. The mod works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
Key features
Coral block crafting
Coral blocks are made in a crafting grid from corals and coral fans, so they no longer require breaking reefs.
3x3 recipe variant
The full 3x3 grid recipe uses more corals per block and is the version most players are expected to choose.
2x2 recipe variant
A 2x2 recipe asks for fewer corals and suits players who prefer a quicker, less grindy path.
Renewable block supply
Corals and coral fans can be farmed, which makes the coral blocks renewable over time.
