Mangrove leaves are biome-colored leaves that form the canopy of mangrove trees. They can grow mangrove propagules by applying bone meal.
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, mangrove leaves can drop 1—2 sticks. Fortune increases the chance. They do not drop mangrove propagules.

Natural generation
Mangrove leaves occur naturally on their mangrove trees in mangrove swamps. They also appear in the entrance room of some trial chambers.
Post-generation
Mangrove leaves generate as part of mangrove trees grown from mangrove propagules.
Usage
Mangrove leaves that decay have the same drop chances as when broken by players, yielding sticks 2% of the time, and otherwise nothing. They do not drop mangrove propagules. Instead, applying bone meal to mangrove leaves with a space beneath produces a hanging mangrove propagule with age=0.

Redstone component
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
Mangrove 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.
Color
Mangrove leaves have unique colors based on the biome they are placed in.
In the inventory, mangrove leaves are colored
#92c648 in Java Edition, or use pre-colored textures in Bedrock Edition.
Biome colors
These values are generated by the biome dyeing algorithm. In Bedrock Edition, biome colors also appear on maps.
Snowy leaves
In any biome with a base temperature of below 0.15, mangrove leaves gradually fade to white once snowfall begins, giving them a frosted appearance for the storm's duration. During transition, the white color is blended with the regular color in eight steps. After snowfall ends, leaves gradually fade back to their normal coloration.
This does not affect leaves in biomes with a higher base temperature, even at altitudes that allow snowfall. The change is entirely invisible to the client if the graphics mode is set to Simple, though it still takes place, and leaves are the correct color phase for the time if the option is re-enabled.

Issues relating to "Mangrove 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.
