Overview
Spruce 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.
Spruce 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.
About the spruce set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 0.2, Spruce Leaves takes 0.3 seconds to punch out and 0.05 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed, which on a block this soft tips over into instant mining very early.
| 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
Spruce 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. 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. 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.
