'''Spruce leaves''' are evergreen [[Minecraft:leaves]] that form the canopy of [[Minecraft:spruce]] trees.

== 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|Spruce Leaves|Hoe|drop=0|shears=1|sword=0}}

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

=== Natural generation ===
Spruce leaves occur naturally on [[Minecraft:spruce]] and [[Minecraft:pine]] trees throughout the [[Minecraft:Overworld]]. They also generate as part of [[Minecraft:abandoned camp]]s.

{{block distribution}}

=== Post-generation ===
{{see also|Tutorial:Tree farming}}
Spruce leaves generate as part of trees grown from [[Minecraft:spruce 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.

Spruce leaves that decay have the same drop chances as when broken by players, yielding [[Minecraft:spruce sapling]]s 5% ({{frac|1|20}}) of the time, sticks 2% of the time, and otherwise nothing. Leaves that are burned do not yield saplings.

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.

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Spruce 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 ===
Spruce 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]].

=== Color ===
{{Main|Biome#Tint}}
[[File:Evergreen.png|<samp>evergreen.png</samp> colormap|thumb|150px]]
Unlike most other leaves, the color of spruce leaves does not change with the [[Minecraft:biome]] they are placed in, but always stays green. The texture is always colored with {{color|#619961}}.

{{IN|be}}, this color is picked from a [[Minecraft:Biome#Tint|colormap]] which allows biome tinting, though the color is the same in every biome.

==== Snowy leaves ====
{{Exclusive|Bedrock|section=1}}
[[File:Snowing BE.jpg|thumb|Trees in a snowy biome during snowfall in ''Bedrock Edition'']]

In any biome with a base [[Minecraft:Biome#Temperature|temperature]] of below 0.15, spruce leaves gradually fade to white once [[Minecraft:snowfall]] begins, giving them a frosted appearance for the storm's duration. During transition, the white color is blended with the regular color in eight steps. After snowfall ends, leaves gradually fade back to their normal coloration.

This does not affect leaves in biomes with a higher base temperature, even at altitudes that allow snowfall. The change is entirely invisible to the client if the graphics mode is set to Simple, though it still takes place, and leaves are the correct color phase for the time if the option is re-enabled.

=== Particles ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
Spruce leaves produce falling leaves [[Minecraft:particles]] underneath the leaf block, where they slowly fall to the ground. They have the same color as the block they're falling from, which can change during [[Minecraft:snowfall]].

== 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.
