Spruce Leaves
minecraft:spruce_leavesSpruce Leaves form the dark green canopy of spruce and pine trees native to taiga and snowy taiga biomes. They are transparent, diffuse light, and slowly decay when no longer connected to a spruce log.
Uses
- Sapling Farming — Breaking or waiting for decay gives a small chance of a spruce sapling, the basis of automated tree farms.
- Composting — Placing leaves in a composter has a 30% chance to raise its level, eventually yielding bone meal.
Found In
- Taiga and Snowy Taiga biomes — Generates as the canopy of naturally spawning spruce and pine trees.
- Player-placed builds — Can be placed by hand and, unlike natural leaves, will never decay.

FAQ
What tool should I use to mine spruce leaves?
A hoe breaks them fastest, but any tool or bare hands work since there is no minimum tier requirement.
How do I get the leaf block itself instead of a sapling?
Break it with Silk Touch to collect the leaves block directly; otherwise it drops a sapling, a stick, or nothing.
Will placed spruce leaves eventually disappear?
No. Leaves only decay when naturally generated and no longer connected to a log within range; player-placed leaves persist forever.
Can spruce leaves catch fire?
Yes, they are flammable and can burn from nearby fire or lava.
