Overview
Pale Oak 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.
Pale Oak Leaves counts as a plant block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A hardness of 0.2 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear. No specific tool is required to collect it.
Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.2 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the pale oak set
How long it takes to break
Pale Oak 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.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed. On a block this soft the enchantment reaches instant mining almost immediately.
| 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
Pale Oak 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. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. It is renewable, so one world can supply as much of it as you want. 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.
