Properties
With 0.2 blast resistance Flowering Azalea Leaves goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. It renews, so a single world will never run out. It catches easily (encouragement 30, burn 60), so keep lava and open flame well away from it and from anything next to it. A hoe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.
