Coral is a solid block which comes in 5 colored variants: blue, pink, purple, red, and yellow. There also is a sixth dead variant.
Coral plants are blocks that can only be placed underwater. Like coral, they come in 5 variants, but they do not have a dead variant.
Obtaining
Coral will only drop as an item if mined with any type of pickaxe. Otherwise, it will drop nothing.

- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Coral and coral plants are not obtainable in Survival mode, and can only be accessed with the Creative inventory or using commands.
Usage
Coral and coral plants can only be used as a building block.
Dead coral
In order for coral to stay alive, at least 1 of the blocks touching it must be water. If it's placed outside of water, it will instantly and irreversibly transform into dead coral.

A '''melon slice'''{{efn|Known as '''Melon Slice''' {{in|java}} and '''Melon''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Block loot ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Pumpkin and melon farming|title1 = Pumpkin and melon farming}}
Melon slices can be obtained by breaking (harvesting) [[melon]]s using any [[tool]] or by hand. [[Axe]]s, followed by [[sword]]s, are the fastest tools for harvesting melons. A melon drops 3–7 melon slices, when broken; by hand, using a [[tool]], or after being broken by the movement of a [[piston]], with an average of 4.64 slices per melon.
Breaking a melon with a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]] increases the potential number of drops by 1 slice per level, up to a maximum of 9 slices.
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}
To eat a melon slice, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Composting ===
Placing a melon slice into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Usage ==
Each type of medicine has an associated effect that it can cure (see {{slink||Brewing}} for details). Players can drink the medicine only if they have the corresponding effect. Drinking the medicine eliminates the effect. Although medicine does not resemble [[potion]]s, the player still gets the [[glass bottle]] back.
