Overview
Azalea Leaves counts as a plant block in Minecraft 1.21.4. 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.
How long it takes to break
Azalea Leaves sits at hardness 0.2: 0.3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.05 with the correct netherite tool.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed; against a block this soft, instant mining arrives after only a level or two.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 0.3 s | 0.3 s | 0.3 s |
| Wooden | 0.15 s | instant | instant |
| Stone | 0.1 s | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties
Azalea Leaves resists blasts at 0.2, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none 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. A hoe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
