Natural leaves (not ones you’ve placed yourself) have a chance of decaying every tick as long as they’re more than four blocks away from a block of wood. You can harvest them with either shears or a tool enchanted with Silk Touch – otherwise, you’ll just break them.
How do you break leaves quickly?
If the leaves came from an area that can’t be mowed, rake them into thin, shallow piles on the lawn, then mow them or otherwise cut them up with a mulcher or shredder. Mow again yet if you prefer even smaller leaf pieces. The smaller the individual leaf bits, the faster they will decompose.
Can mobs suffocate in leaves?
Blocks that are transparent or do not fill an entire block do not cause suffocation. This includes leaves, slabs, honey blocks, stairs, fences, bells, chests, hoppers, composters, grindstones, stonecutters, iron bars, end portal frames, trapdoors, and extended piston heads.
What will dissolve leaves?

Can you put leaves in a composter?
You can compost leaves in these tray-based composters. However, the trays might not be big enough for a lot of leaves. The leaves start to break down and take up less space after a while. At that time, you could add more leaves. These composters can be used indoors, or outdoors — ideally, under shelter.
What’s the best way to farm spinmetal leaves?
The best way to do is simply combine doing patrols with the other methods of farming. Grab some bounties, put on your mods to find the chests and resource nodes, and then hit the open Cosmodrome. You should rapidly build up a stock of Spinmetal in no time.
How do I compost fall leaves with worms?
Leaves take up a lot of space because they have many air pockets. Just tap some stakes into the ground, affix chicken wire around the stakes to make a cylinder, and pour leaves in the top. Order composting worms from Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm, and add them. We have made this video about building a chicken wire composter.
