Azalea leaves are evergreen leaves that generate as part of azalea trees and drop azaleas. Flowering azalea leaves are a variant that function as flowers for bee mechanics and drop flowering azaleas.

Obtaining

Breaking

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

Without shears, azalea leaves can drop 1 azalea or flowering azalea,[a] and 1—2 sticks. Fortune increases the chances.

Azalea or Flowering Azalea[a] 5% (1⁄20) 6.25% (1⁄16) 8.33% (1⁄12) 10% (1⁄10)
1-2 Sticks 2% (1⁄50) 2.22% (1⁄45) 2.5% (1⁄40) 3.33% (1⁄30)

Natural generation

Azalea and flowering azalea leaves occur naturally on azalea trees that generate above lush caves. Most of the canopy consists of regular azalea leaves.

Post-generation

Azalea leaves and to a lesser extent flowering azalea leaves generate as part of azalea trees grown from azaleas or flowering azaleas. Whether a regular or flowering azalea is used does not influence the leaves distribution.

Usage

Main article: Leaves § Usage

Azalea leaves that decay have the same drop chances as when broken by players, yielding azaleas or flowering azaleas[a] 5% (1⁄20) of the time, sticks 2% of the time, and otherwise nothing. Leaves that are burned do not yield azaleas.

Unlike most other leaves, azalea leaves do not change color depending on the biome they are placed in, but always stay lush green. They also do not turn white during snowfall.

Redstone component

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

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 log or wood block changes, up to 6 blocks of leaves away. 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 pistons. They do not stick to sticky pistons, slime blocks, or honey blocks.

Composting

Regular azalea leaves have a 30% chance of increasing the compost level in a composter by 1. A stack of leaves yields an average of 3.05 bone meal.

Flowering azalea leaves have a 50% chance of increasing the compost level, a stack yielding 4.92 pieces of bone meal on average.

Bees

Flowering azaleas leaves function like any other flower in their interaction and uses with bees.

Particles

Azalea leaves produce falling leaves particles underneath the leaf block, where they slowly fall to the ground. They have the same green color as the block.

Issues

Issues relating to "Azalea Leaves" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

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 azaleas without being destroyed due to creation of leaf blocks not supported by logs.
