!Coral on land

Immortal Coral

Use /gamerule immortalCoral true to enable this mod in your world.
When enabled coral will no longer die when outside of water.
This mod doesn't add any new blocks, so your world will stay fully vanilla compatible.
Works both as single player mod or as server mod, if it's installed on the server there is no need to have it installed client side.

Now also with recipes for in survival (1.18+):

Smoke coral in the smoker to apply a smoke layer on the coral
!Smoking Coral

If needed the smoke can be cleaned off again with a bucket of water !Cleaning Coral

Spoiler about the Smoked Corals

The smoked coral that you get from the smoker are renamed dead corals, they're still fully vanilla and won't cause any issues if the mod is ever removed.

Why even name them Smoked Coral you ask? Well because with this mod they're immortal after all :p
