Overview
Mangrove 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.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Mangrove Leaves is 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 mangrove set
How long it takes to break
Mangrove Leaves sits at hardness 0.2: 0.3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.05 with the correct netherite tool.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, and on something this soft that reaches instant mining almost at once.
| 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
Blast resistance on Mangrove Leaves is 0.2, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. Fire takes to it quickly — encouragement 30, burn 60 — which makes it a poor neighbour for lava or a lit campfire. The block is tagged for hoes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
