Minecraft:Poplar Leaves

Template:Infobox block Poplar leaves are Minecraft:leaves that form the canopy of Minecraft:poplar trees with yellow, orange, and red color variants that do not change with the biome.

Obtaining

Breaking

Hoes are the default tools for breaking poplar leaves, but it can be obtained only with Minecraft:shears or tools Minecraft:enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch.

Without shears, poplar leaves can drop 1 Minecraft:poplar sapling and 1—2 Minecraft:sticks. Minecraft:Fortune increases the chances.

Drop	No Fortune	Fortune I	Fortune II	Fortune III
Template:BlockLink	5% (Template:Frac)	6.25% (Template:Frac)	8.33% (Template:Frac	10% (Template:Frac)
1-2 Template:ItemLink	2% (Template:Frac)	2.22% (Template:Frac)	2.5% (Template:Frac)	3.33% (Template:Frac)

Natural generation

Poplar leaves form the canopy of any standing Minecraft:poplar tree. A poplar tree can have either yellow, orange, or red poplar leaves with equal distribution. They are also generated as part of Minecraft:abandoned camps in dappled forests.

Post-generation

Template:See also A canopy with a random color of poplar leaves generates as part of poplar trees grown from Minecraft:poplar saplings.

Usage

Leaves from trees spontaneously decay (disappear) when they receive a 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 blocksTemplate:Only or 4 blocks.Template:Only Template:IN, this is determined using the Template:Cd Minecraft:block tag, whereas Template:In, 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.

Poplar leaves that decay have the same drop chances as when broken by a player, yielding 1 Minecraft:poplar sapling 5% (Template:Frac) of the time, and 1-2 Minecraft:sticks 2% of the time. Leaves that are burned do not drop saplings.

Leaves are always Minecraft:transparent to Minecraft:light but cannot be seen through when the Minecraft:graphics is set to "Fast" or 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 waterlogged although they are full blocks. Water does not spread outTemplate:Only, and waterlogged leaves follow the same rules as any other waterlogged 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, poplar leaves do not change their color based on the Minecraft:biome they are placed in, but always remain red, orange, or yellow. They also do not become white during Minecraft:snowfall.

Redstone component

Template:Exclusive 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: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.

Piston interactivity

Leaves are destroyed when pushed by Minecraft:pistons. They do not stick to Minecraft:sticky pistons, Minecraft:slime blocks, or Minecraft:honey blocks.

Composting

Poplar 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.

Particles

Different colors of poplar leaf particles in a dappled forest

Poplar leaves produce falling leaves Minecraft:particles underneath the leaf block, where they slowly fall to the ground. Falling poplar leaves particles have the same color as they leaves block they fall from.

Ambient sounds

Poplar leaves occasionally emit ambient sounds when they are surrounded by a non-stripped Minecraft:log of any kind and 3 poplar leaves of the same color in all 4 horizontal directions. The ambient sounds emitted can be heard from up to 12 blocks.

History

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.
