Oak Leaves are blocks in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through Shears, natural world generation, and decay. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Oak Leaves.
Oak Leaves are 0.2-hardness blocks. Their blast resistance repeats that 0.2, so Oak Leaves offer no shelter. The game files them under a hoe, without a minimum tier attached to Oak Leaves.
