Big Dripleaf is a tall plant that generates naturally in lush caves on clay or moss blocks, added to Minecraft in the 1.17 Caves & Cliffs update. Big Dripleaf is topped with a broad flat leaf on a thin stem. A player or mob that stands on the leaf triggers a timer — after about one second the leaf tilts to a steep angle and everything on it slides off. The leaf automatically returns to horizontal a moment later, and a redstone signal applied to the stem tilts or locks the leaf on demand.

Big Dripleaf grows from small dripleaf, the juvenile form found near water in lush caves; applying bone meal to small dripleaf turns it into Big Dripleaf, and more bone meal extends the Big Dripleaf stem upward as a renewable climbing column you can regrow endlessly with bone meal. Shears harvest both forms as items, while breaking Big Dripleaf without shears destroys it and drops nothing.

In adventure maps and trap builds, Big Dripleaf works as a delayed pitfall that looks like solid footing, and in mob farms the tilt mechanic drops creatures through floors automatically. Because Big Dripleaf can grow on clay underwater, builders use it for hidden submerged platforms. Visually, Big Dripleaf anchors lush-cave interiors and pairs naturally with azalea, spore blossom, and glow berries.
