Dark Oak Leaves
minecraft:dark_oak_leavesDark Oak Leaves are the transparent foliage blocks that make up the canopy of dark oak trees, generating naturally throughout roofed forest biomes. They can only be collected intact with shears or a Silk Touch tool; breaking them otherwise has a small chance to drop a dark oak sapling, sticks, or occasionally an apple. Like other leaf blocks, they decay and vanish when left disconnected from a log beyond the game's decay distance unless placed directly by a player.
