Pale Oak Leaves
Pale Oak Leaves are the pale, greyish-white foliage of the Pale Garden — ideal for wintry, ghostly, and haunted-forest canopies.
Description
Pale Oak Leaves have a hardness and blast resistance of 0.2, are flammable, and can be composted at the usual 30% chance per leaf. Builders use Pale Oak Leaves for wintry, ghostly, and haunted-forest themes where a frosted canopy is needed without placing snow. Pale Oak Leaves placed by a player stay permanent and never decay, so they hold their shape in large custom trees and topiary. Pair Pale Oak Leaves with Pale Oak Log and Pale Hanging Moss to recreate the full Pale Garden atmosphere in survival or creative builds.
