This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. They diffuse sky light, causing the shadows they cast under trees. Leaves are always transparent to light, but cannot be seen through when the graphics mode is set to 'Fast' the transparent regions are instead black‌ /dark green‌. Leaves take on a different shade of green depending on the biome in which they are placed. Leaves that are burned do not yield saplings or apples. Rates are increased by the Fortune enchantment. Oak and dark oak leaves also have a separate but additional 0.5% ( 1⁄ 200) chance of dropping an apple, making it extremely rare but possible for a single leaf to drop a sapling along with an apple. Jungle leaves drop saplings 2.5% ( 1⁄ 40) of the time. Leaves that decay, or are destroyed without using Silk Touch or shears, yield saplings 5% ( 1⁄ 20) of the time, sticks 2% of the time, and otherwise drop nothing. Leaves from trees spontaneously decay (disappear) when they receive a block tick if they are not connected to any block with the logs tag ( log or wood blocks), either directly or via other leaf block, with a maximum distance of 6 blocks‌ or 4 blocks‌. Leaves generate as part of trees grown from saplings.
