Spruce Leaves
Spruce Leaves provide dark evergreen foliage for taiga forests, winter gardens, hedges, and artificial conifer trees.
Description
Spruce Leaves suit conifer forests, mountain cabins, winter gardens, hedges, and Christmas-tree builds because the deep blue-green foliage keeps a consistent spruce tint across biomes. Player-placed Spruce Leaves remain persistent, while naturally generated Spruce Leaves decay when no spruce log is close enough after the supporting trunk is removed. Builders should use shears for fast bulk collection and place hidden spruce logs inside large artificial trees when natural-looking branch structure is desired.
