LEGO Minecraft 21164, The Coral Reef, depicts an underwater Minecraft scene with Alex, a drowned zombie and pufferfish. Released in 2021, this Minecraft theme set contains 92 pieces and presents a compact aquatic setting in brick form.

Set 21164 belongs to the LEGO Minecraft theme, which recreates locations, mobs and play situations from the game with a deliberately blocky building style. The Coral Reef focuses on a small underwater environment, presented as an open scene rather than a large enclosed structure.

The French retail title also refers to pufferfish, a sword and a treasure chest. These elements support a simple underwater exploration scenario with a hostile mob.

The model suits quick play, a small display vignette or a Minecraft collection organized around biomes and creatures. Within the theme, it is best understood as a compact add on scene, useful for adding underwater variety beside larger terrain builds or character focused sets.
