Whenever people asked him how he moved the mammoth blocks of stone, Ed would only reply that he had discovered the secrets of levitation used in building the pyramids. He had a keen interest in science, astronomy, and the Egyptians, in particular the pyramids. During the day, Ed would rest, or study his books on cosmic energy and magnetics. No one really knows how such a small man was able to accomplish such a monumental task, or why he mysteriously worked under the cover of night. The average weight of a single block is heavier than those used in constructing the Great Pyramid of Giza. He had no engines or any other power sources, other than himself, to move and place over 1,100 tons of coral rock.

Living coral blocks now have new sound events: ral_block.break, ral_block.fall, ral_block.hit, ral_ace, and ral_block.step.Īdded wandering traders, which sell all types of coral blocks, making them renewable.Ĭoral blocks currently die only if they touch air or void blocks, meaning that coral technically do not need water to stay alive.Ĭoral blocks can now be bought from wandering traders.It was a jilting that would hang in Ed Leedskalnin’s mind for the rest of his life.
Mining coral blocks now requires Silk Touch to drop them.Ĭoral blocks now have a short delay before dying.Ĭoral blocks no longer die as long as one side is touching water. The blue, pink, purple, red, and yellow variants of all coral blocks and dead coral blocks have been renamed to tube, brain, bubble, fire, and horn, respectively.

In order for a coral block to stay alive, at least one of the six directly adjacent blocks must be water or a waterlogged block. This only works on living coral blocks, not dead coral blocks. Specifically, they can spread to the original sea pickle's level or one level below, out to a horizontal taxicab distance of 2. If sea pickles are planted on coral blocks, using bone meal on the sea pickles increases the number of sea pickles and creates more sea pickles on nearby coral blocks. Several ways are shown where theĪrrangement would cause coral blocks to stay aliveĬoral blocks and their dead variants can be used for building or as decoration blocks.
