Without shears, pale oak leaves can drop 1 pale oak sapling and 1—2 sticks. Fortune increases the chances.

1-2 Sticks 2% (1⁄50) 2.22% (1⁄45) 2.5% (1⁄40) 3.33% (1⁄30)

Natural generation

Pale oak leaves occur naturally on pale oak trees in pale gardens. They also generate as part of abandoned camps in pale gardens.

Post-generation

Pale oak leaves generate as part of trees grown from pale oak saplings.

Usage

Main article: Leaves § Usage

Pale oak leaves that decay have the same drop chances as when broken by players, yielding pale oak saplings 5% (1⁄20) of the time, sticks 2% of the time, and otherwise nothing. Leaves that are burned do not drop saplings.

Unlike most other leaves, pale oak leaves are always colored gray regardless of the biome they are placed in. They also do not become 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

Pale oak 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.

Particles

Particles falling from pale oak leaves

Pale oak leaves produce falling leaves particles underneath the leaf block, where they slowly fall to the ground. They are always colored gray like the block.

Issues

Issues relating to "Pale Oak 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 saplings without being destroyed due to creation of leaf blocks not supported by logs.
