What is the use of leaves?
Leaves are primarily decorative blocks that can be found on all trees. They are the primary source of saplings, apples, and sometimes sticks. All these items are dropped when a block of leaves decays. They decay upon receiving a random block tick if they are not connected to a log or a wood block directly or via other leaves. Leaves are transparent, meaning light can pass through them, allowing players to see through them.
