Right after you log onto a new Minecraft world, the first things you may see are trees and leaves. Everyone knows trees are for collecting wood, but what about leaves in Minecraft? What are they good for? How do you prise them off the trees? Here's everything you need to know about these lush blocks. Show Table of ContentsMinecraft has a wide array of trees available. And with each type of tree, there's a corresponding type of leaves. For example, oak leaves have the most basic color - lush green. Dark oak leaves are darker. Jungle leaves are full of vines. So on and so forth. There are countless types of leaves in Minecraft which follow different dropping patterns. 2. Minecraft Leaves MechanicsLeaves in Minecraft drop as blocks when players break them with shears. Otherwise, they will drop the following items:
All leaves in Minecraft have to be connected to a tree. Otherwise, they will start to decay. However, leaves that are sheared and placed will not decay. Here are a few other things to note about leaves in Minecraft:
3. How to obtain Leaves in MinecraftNormally, not many players care about leaves when they're chopping down trees. If you just break the woodblocks, no leaves will come out. Leaves only drop as blocks when you cut them with a shear, the same tool you use to take wools off sheep. These leaves blocks once sheared, will behave like a block. They won't decay over time, and you can place them around. Just remember to use the shear should you want to move them to someplace else. >>> You May Also Like: Can You Collect Goat Horn In The Current Version Of Minecraft?
For the removed Pocket Edition block, see Leaves carried. Leaves are natural blocks that generate as part of trees. Despite being a full block, they can be waterlogged. Obtaining[]Breaking[]See also: Fortune § Tabulated probabilities Hoes are the default tools for breaking leaves, but leaves can be obtained only with shears or Silk Touch enchanted tools.
Natural generation[]Leaves occur naturally on trees and azaleas throughout the Overworld. Specially, oak leaves[Java Edition only] or jungle leaves[Bedrock Edition only] are generate in jungle bushes. Oak leaves also generate in the tree at meeting point in plains village. Dark oak leaves also generate in woodland mansions. Post-generation[]See also: Tutorials/Tree farming Leaves generate as part of trees grown from saplings or azalea. Usage[]
Leaves when the graphics mode is set to "Fast" in Java Edition.
Leaves when the graphics mode is set to "Fast" in Bedrock Edition. Leaves from trees spontaneously decay (disappear) when they receive a block tick if they are not connected to a block with the logs tag (log or wood block), either directly or via other leaf blocks, with a maximum distance of 6 blocks[Java Edition only] or 4 blocks[Bedrock Edition only]. Leaves placed by players never decay. Leaves that decay, or are destroyed without using Silk Touch or shears, yield saplings 5% (1⁄20) of the time, sticks 2% of the time, and otherwise drop nothing. Jungle leaves drop saplings 2.5% (1⁄40) of the time. Oak and dark oak leaves also have a separate but additional 0.5% (1⁄200) chance of dropping an apple, making it extremely rare but possible for a single leaf to drop a sapling, a stick and an apple at the same time. Rates are increased by the Fortune enchantment. Leaves that are burned do not yield saplings or apples. Leaves take on a different shade of green depending on the biome in which they are placed. Leaves are always transparent to light, but cannot be seen through when the graphics mode is set to "Fast"; the transparent regions are instead black[JE only]/dark green[BE only]. They diffuse sky light, causing the shadows they cast under trees. Leaves can be waterlogged, despite being a full block. Water does not spread out[Java Edition only] and waterlogged leaves follow the same rules as any other waterlogged block. Applying bone meal to mangrove leaves with a space beneath produces a hanging mangrove propagule with age=0. Redstone component[]
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. The state of a leaves block—including a player-placed block—changes after 1 game tick (half a redstone tick) when the distance to the nearest log or wood block changes, up to 6 blocks of leaves away. Observers facing away from the leaves detect this change and transmit a redstone signal in the same game tick, making leaves useful for redstone signal transmission. This has been called "Leafstone" by the Minecraft Community. Piston interactivity[]Leaves are destroyed when pushed by pistons. They do not stick to sticky pistons, slime blocks or honey blocks. Composting[]Leaves have a 30% chance of increasing the compost level in a composter by 1. A stack of leaves yields an average of 2.74 bonemeal. Bees[]Flowering azaleas leaves function like any other flowers in their interaction and uses with bees. Bee nests[]Oak and birch trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any flowering azalea leaves have a 5% chance to grow with bee nest and 1-3 bees in it. Color[]
Biome colors[]These values are generated by the biome dyeing algorithm. See Biome colors for more information. Unused biomes in Bedrock Edition.
Snowy leaves[]
This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition. Leaves appear as snow-covered during snowfall, however, these appearances are exclusive to frozen ocean, deep frozen ocean, frozen river, snowy beach, snowy plains, and snowy taiga biomes and their variants. Leaves are snow-covered only during snowfalls when fancy graphics are enabled. In mountains biomes and variants leaves do not become frost covered during snowfall.
