'''Leaves''' are transparent natural [[block]]s that generate as part of [[tree]]s. They decay when not attached to a tree trunk, but persist when placed by a player.

== 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]] [[Enchanting|enchant]]ed tools.

=== Natural generation ===
Leaves occur naturally on [[tree]]s and [[azalea]]s throughout the [[Overworld]]. Specially, oak leaves{{only|JE}} or jungle leaves{{only|BE}} generate in [[jungle bush]]es. Oak leaves also generate in the tree at meeting points in [[Village#Plains|plains village]]s. Dark oak leaves can also generate in [[woodland mansion]]s. Oak and mangrove leaves can also generate in the [[trial chambers]].

{{block distribution}}

=== Post-generation ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Tree farming}}
Leaves generate as part of trees grown from [[sapling]]s, [[azalea]]s, or [[mangrove propagule]]s.

== Usage ==
Leaves from trees spontaneously decay (disappear) when they receive a [[Tick#Random tick|block tick]] if they are not connected to a block with the <code>logs</code> tag ([[log]] or [[wood]] block), either directly or via other leaf blocks, with a maximum distance of 6 blocks{{only|je}} or 4 blocks{{only|be}}. The distance is taxicab distance, but can cross corners. Leaves placed by players never decay. Bamboo does not count as a log for this purpose.

Leaves that decay, or are destroyed without using [[Silk Touch]] or [[shears]], yield [[sapling]]s 5% ({{frac|1|20}}) of the time, sticks 2% of the time, and otherwise drop nothing. Jungle leaves drop saplings 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) of the time. Oak and dark oak leaves also have a separate but additional 0.5% ({{frac|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 [[Options#Video Settings|graphics mode]] is set to "Fast"; the transparent regions are instead black{{only|je|short=true}}/dark green{{only|be|short=true}}. They diffuse sky light, causing the shadows they cast under trees.

Leaves can be [[Waterlogging|waterlog]]ged, despite being a full block. Water does not spread out{{only|je}} and waterlogged leaves follow the same rules as any other [[Waterlogging#Mechanism|waterlog]]ged block. When [[concrete powder]] is placed on any side of the waterlogged leaves it turns into [[concrete]], without the danger of the water running out of the block.

Applying [[bone meal]] to mangrove leaves with a space beneath produces a hanging [[mangrove propagule]] with <code>age=0</code>.

=== Redstone component ===
{{Exclusive|java|section=1}}
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. [[Observer]]s 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 [[piston]]s. They do not stick to [[sticky piston]]s, [[slime block]]s, or [[honey block]]s.

=== 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 [[bone meal]].

=== Bees ===
Flowering azaleas leaves and cherry leaves function like any other [[flower]]s in their interaction and uses with [[bee]]s.

=== Bee nests ===
[[Oak]], [[birch]], and [[cherry]] trees grown from [[sapling]]s that are within 2 blocks of flowering azalea leaves or cherry leaves have a 5% chance to grow with [[bee nest]] and 2-3 bees in it.

==== Snowy leaves ====
{{Exclusive|Bedrock|section=1}}

[[File:Snowing BE.jpg|thumb|right|Trees in a snowy biome during snowfall.]]

In any biome with a base [[Biome#Temperature|temperature]] of below 0.15, all leaves exposed to the sky gradually fade to white once [[snowfall]] begins, giving them a frosted appearance for the storm's duration. Cherry, azalea, and flowering azalea leaves are not affected<ref>{{bug|MCPE-121813|||WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-168031|||WAI}}</ref>, and the change is entirely invisible to the client if the fancy graphics option is disabled (though it still takes place, and leaves are the correct color phase for the time if the option is reenabled). After snowfall ends, leaves gradually fade back to their normal coloration.

=== Particles ===
Cherry leaves and pale oak leaves emit falling particles.
[[File:Cherry leaves particle example JE.png|thumb|Particles falling from cherry leaves ]]
[[File:Pale Oak Leaves particle example.png|thumb|Particles falling from pale oak leaves]]
Particles that fall from cherry leaves are pink, those that fall from pale oak leaves are dull greenish-gray and leaf-shaped.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Occasionally, leaves grow through other blocks, acting as though they are still connected to the tree. They may also completely replace blocks they try to grow into.
* Leaves do not prevent [[chest]]s from being opened.
* Some trees seem to occasionally drop apples or saplings without being destroyed due to creation of leaf blocks not supported by logs.
