Orange Poplar Leaves are the orange variant of the poplar foliage added to Minecraft in Java Edition 26.3 and Bedrock Edition 26.40, alongside red and yellow poplar leaves. Orange Poplar Leaves generate naturally only in abandoned camps inside dappled forest biomes. A hoe breaks leaves fastest, yet only shears or a Silk Touch tool drop Orange Poplar Leaves as an item — broken with anything else, a leaf offers only a 5% chance of a poplar sapling and a 2% chance of one or two sticks. The orange shade comes from the texture itself: biome tinting never recolors poplar leaves, so the color stays identical in every biome and even under snowfall.

Orange Poplar Leaves decay when no log remains within six blocks in Java Edition and four blocks in Bedrock Edition, while leaves placed by players never decay, which makes harvested leaves safe as permanent decoration. Fire spreads across Orange Poplar Leaves easily (flammability 30), water can flood the leaves harmlessly, and a composter accepts each leaf with a 30% chance to raise the compost level by one. A poplar sapling from the 5% drop grows into a new poplar tree on dirt or moss blocks, with bone meal speeding the growth, so the leaf supply is renewable. A leaf surrounded on all four horizontal sides by one non-stripped log and three same-color poplar leaves occasionally plays quiet ambient wind sounds.
