Acacia Leaves

Overview

Acacia Leaves is one of the 9 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Leaves is the same shape in a different material.

Minecraft classifies Acacia Leaves as a plant block. With a hardness of 0.2 it gives way immediately under almost any tool. Any tool works, and so do bare hands.

Because it is transparent it does not block light. A blast resistance of 0.2 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64.

Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the acacia set

Acacia is the orange wood, and it is the only one — no other tree in Minecraft produces planks in that colour, which is why acacia turns up in builds that need warmth without going red. It grows only in savanna and savanna plateau, on a trunk that leans diagonally under a flat spreading canopy, so felling one leaves floating log segments unless you cut from the top down. The set is the standard twelve-piece one: planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, signs, hanging signs, buttons, pressure plates and a boat, all sharing a hardness of 2, a blast resistance of 3, and the same recipes as every other wood. Remember that savanna never rains, so an acacia build has no natural fire protection at all — keep lava, campfires and furnaces well away from it, or add a lightning rod.

How long it takes to break

Hardness 0.2 puts Acacia Leaves at 0.3 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.05 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.

The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.

Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, and on something this soft that reaches instant mining almost at once.

Properties

Acacia Leaves has a blast resistance of 0.2, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. Fire spreads to it readily (encouragement 30, burn 60), so keep it away from lava and away from anything you would rather not lose. The fastest tool for it is a hoe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.

Transparent: Yes
Required tool: Any
