What Is Birch Leaves in Minecraft?

Birch Leaves are the light, pale green foliage that covers Birch trees. They are thin and slightly transparent, letting a little light through.

How Does Birch Leaves Work?

Natural leaves decay on their own once they are more than 6 blocks away from any log - chop the trunk and the leaves will disappear.
Player-placed leaves never decay.
When leaves decay or are broken without Shears, they have a 5% chance to drop a Birch Sapling and a 2% chance to drop Sticks.
Fortune increases the sapling drop chance: Fortune I gives 6.25%, Fortune II 8.33%, Fortune III 10%.
