'''Cherry leaves''' are [[Minecraft:leaves]] that form the canopy of [[Minecraft:cherry]] trees and function as [[Minecraft:flower]]s for [[Minecraft:bee]] mechanics. They are colored pink which does not change with the [[Minecraft:biome]] they are placed in.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
[[Minecraft:Hoe]]s are the default tools for breaking leaves, but leaves can be obtained only with [[Minecraft:shears]] or tools [[Minecraft:enchanted]] with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]].

{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Cherry Leaves|Hoe|drop=0|shears=1|sword=0}}

Without shears, cherry leaves can drop 1 [[Minecraft:cherry sapling]], 1—2 [[Minecraft:stick]]s, and 1 [[Minecraft:apple]]. [[Minecraft:Fortune]] increases the chances.

=== Natural generation ===
Cherry leaves occur naturally on [[Minecraft:cherry]] trees in [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s. They also generate as part of [[Minecraft:abandoned camp]]s in cherry groves.

{{block distribution}}

=== Post-generation ===
{{see also|Tutorial:Tree farming}}
Cherry leaves generate as part of trees grown from [[Minecraft:cherry sapling]]s.

== Usage ==
Leaves from trees spontaneously decay (disappear) when they receive a [[Minecraft:Tick#Random tick|block tick]] if they are not connected to any [[Minecraft:log]] or [[Minecraft:wood]] blocks, stripped or otherwise, either directly or via other leaf blocks, with a maximum distance of 6 blocks{{only|je}} or 4 blocks.{{only|be}} {{IN|je}}, this is determined using the {{cd|prevents_nearby_leaf_decay}} [[Minecraft:block tag]], whereas {{in|BE}}, the list of blocks is hardcoded. The distance is taxicab distance, but can cross corners. Leaves placed by players never decay. [[Minecraft:Bamboo]] does not count as a log for this purpose.

Cherry leaves that decay have the same drop chances as when broken by players, yielding [[Minecraft:cherry sapling]]s 5% ({{frac|1|20}}) of the time, [[Minecraft:stick]]s 2% of the time, and otherwise nothing.

Leaves are always [[Minecraft:transparent]] to [[Minecraft:light]] but cannot be seen through when the [[Minecraft:graphics]] is set to "Fast" or [[Minecraft:Settings#Video|fancy leaves]] are turned off; the transparent regions are instead dark green. Leaves that are entirely surrounded by full blocks also render opaque in ''Bedrock Edition''. They diffuse sky light, causing the shadows they cast under trees.

Leaf blocks can be [[Minecraft:Waterlogging|waterlog]]ged although they are full blocks. Water does not spread out,{{only|je}} and waterlogged leaves follow the same rules as any other [[Minecraft:Waterlogging#Mechanism|waterlog]]ged block. When [[Minecraft:concrete powder]] is placed on any side of the waterlogged leaves it turns into [[Minecraft:concrete]], and the leaf block remains waterlogged.

Although leaves behave as solid blocks by preventing entities from moving through them, they also behave as non-solid, in that leaves do not prevent chests from opening.

Unlike most other leaves, cherry leaves are not [[Minecraft:biome]] tinted and always stay pink. They also do not turn white during [[Minecraft:snowfall]].

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Cherry Leaves
|Leaf Litter
|0.1}}

=== 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 [[Minecraft:log]] or [[Minecraft:wood]] block changes, up to 6 blocks of leaves away. [[Minecraft: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.

=== Piston interactivity ===
Leaves are destroyed when pushed by [[Minecraft:piston]]s. They do not stick to [[Minecraft:sticky piston]]s, [[Minecraft:slime block]]s, or [[Minecraft:honey block]]s.

=== Composting ===
Cherry leaves have a 30% chance of increasing the compost level in a [[Minecraft:composter]] by 1. A stack of leaves yields an average of 3.05 [[Minecraft:bone meal]].

=== Bees ===
Cherry leaves function like any other [[Minecraft:flower]] in their interaction and uses with [[Minecraft:bee]]s.

=== Particles ===
[[File:Cherry leaves particle example JE.png|Particles falling from cherry leaves|thumb]]
Cherry leaves produce falling leaves [[Minecraft:particles]] underneath the leaf block, where they slowly fall to the ground. They are always pink like the leaves block. Cherry leaves particles are differently textured compared to other falling leaves, and appear more often.

== 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.
* Some trees seem to occasionally drop saplings without being destroyed due to creation of leaf blocks not supported by logs.
