Spruce Leaves
minecraft:spruce_leavesSpruce Leaves are the transparent foliage blocks generated as part of spruce trees, and they can only be collected intact with shears or a Silk Touch tool. Breaking them without one instead has a chance to drop a spruce sapling or a stick. Spruce Leaves decay when left disconnected from a spruce log beyond a set distance, and they can also be composted or smelted into leaf litter.
FAQ
How do you collect Spruce Leaves without them breaking into drops?
Use shears or a tool enchanted with Silk Touch to harvest Spruce Leaves as an intact block instead of getting saplings or sticks.
Do Spruce Leaves drop apples like oak leaves?
No, only oak and dark oak leaves have a chance to drop apples; Spruce Leaves do not.
Why do Spruce Leaves sometimes disappear from a tree?
Leaves decay when they become disconnected from the nearest log by more than 6 blocks in Java Edition or 4 blocks in Bedrock Edition, unless they were placed by a player.
Can Spruce Leaves be composted?
Yes, placing Spruce Leaves in a composter gives roughly a 30% chance to increase the compost level by one.
