A small dripleaf is a plant which generates in lush caves, and is used to grow big dripleaves, a platforming block.

Obtaining

Breaking

A small dripleaf can be obtained by mining it using shears. A small dripleaf drops nothing when mined using any other tool, pushed with a piston or sticky piston, or broken by destroying or moving the block under it. It breaks instantly in all cases.

Block	Small Dripleaf
Hardness	0
Breaking time (secs)
Default	0.05
Shears	0.05

Legend

• incorrect tool, drops nothing
• correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
• correct tool, drops the block itself
• italicized can be instant mined

Axes are considered the preferred tool, and swords would also increase the breaking speed, however these ultimately have no impact due to the instant default mining speed.

Natural generation

Small dripleaves naturally generate within the lush caves biome.

Trading

Small dripleaves can be obtained by trading with a wandering trader, who sometimes may sell 2 small dripleaves for 1 emerald. Note that small dripleaves cannot be farmed as such: Bone meal converts them to a big dripleaf, which can be grown/duplicated with bone meal, but that does not produce small dripleaves.

Usage

Placement

Small dripleaf can be placed on top of clay and moss blocks. It can also be placed on dirt, coarse dirt, farmland, grass blocks, podzol, rooted dirt, mycelium, muddy mangrove roots, mud, and pale moss blocks if these blocks are underwater.

Bone meal

Using bone meal on a small dripleaf causes it to grow into a big dripleaf, from two to five blocks tall. The small dripleaf is consumed in the process, and cannot be retrieved.

Small dripleaves do not grow on their own.

Composting

Small dripleaves can be placed into a composter, with a 30% chance to increase its compost level.
