How to make a Bubble Coral Fan in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a purple coral fan called a Bubble Coral Fan with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a bubble coral fan is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. Gathering a bubble coral fan is a bit tricky in Minecraft because you need to mine it with a tool that is enchanted with Silk Touch.
Let's explore how to add a bubble coral fan to your inventory.

How to get a Bubble Coral Fan in Survival Mode
You can add a bubble coral fan to your inventory in Survival mode by finding them growing in a Warm Ocean biome and mining them with a tool with Silk Touch. So, let's get started!
1. Find a Bubble Coral Fan
First, you need to find a bubble coral fan in your Minecraft world. A bubble coral fan is a purple coral fan that is usually found growing underwater in a Coral Reef in the Warm Ocean biome.
This is what a bubble coral fan looks like:
2. Hold a Tool with Silk Touch
To mine the bubble coral fan, you need to use a tool with Silk Touch such as pickaxe, shovel, or axe:
Pickaxe
Shovel
Axe
In this example, we are going to use a diamond pickaxe that is enchanted with Silk Touch.
3. Mine the Bubble Coral Fan
The game control to mine the bubble coral fan depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the bubble coral fan.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the bubble coral fan.
- 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 bubble coral fan.
- For Education Edition, left click and hold on the bubble coral fan.
You will need to continue to mine until the bubble coral fan breaks and a smaller bubble coral fan appears floating in the water. If you wait too long, the bubble coral fan will float to the top of the water.
4. Pick up the Bubble Coral Fan
Make sure you pick up the bubble coral fan before it disappears.
Once you pick up the bubble coral fan, it will appear in your hotbar.
A bubble coral fan is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
