Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Coral Block Growth

Iron Blocks that are underwater and powered by Redstone should be able to turn coral and coral fans planted on them into coral blocks over time. This based on the concept of real life artifical reefs.

    There is something to be said about leaving Coral a rare block that can't be replenished.  It shows how fragile these eco systems are.

     

    However, I really like this idea for two reasons:

    1) It gives Redstoners something fun to do.

    2) Coral is still a limited resource.  The machine turns fans and coral plants into coral blocks.  It doesn't replenish them.  So the Redstone idea certainly doubles the Coral you can obtain, but after a while you'll run out of fans and plants.

    I think is too complicated.Using bonemeal to grow them is what I hope.And it is the feature of Minecraft,right?

    coral/coral fans (that are exposed to water) could grow (slowly, but naturally) if adjacent to a solid block (other than the block it is attached to) (stone or it's variants as well as iron, gold, or copper [and their raw variants] and finally other coral blocks)

    *Block   Coral fan

    Block     *Block

    This way you can grow coral. However, some kind of activities done by players and drowned should be able to harm the coral reefs (ie, too many drowned mobs?)
