Recoraled Reef
Recoraled Reef adds coral to the world generator, growing new coral patches along shorelines on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod is a port of Primetoxin's CoralReef mod, carried to Minecraft 1.20.1 by Nandonalt and published by EmeryTheModder. Coral spreads into shoreline areas as the world generates, so new patches appear in regions where vanilla coral is sparse. Both the server and every player need the mod, since generation happens on the server while clients must render the new blocks. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with version 1.0.2 as the latest build from 2026-06-22, under the MIT License.
