1 Shears

How to get Oak Leaves in Survival Mode

You can add oak leaves to your inventory in Survival mode by trimming the leaves from an oak tree with a pair of shears. So, let’s get started!

1. Find an Oak Tree

First, you need to find an oak tree in your Minecraft world. Oak trees are usually found in the Forest, Windswept Hills, Swamp or Mesa Plateau biomes.

Windswept Hills

Mesa Plateau

2. Hold your Shears

Next, place your shears in your hand by selecting them in the hotbar.

Position your pointer (the plus sign) on the oak leaves of the tree. You should see the block of oak leaves become highlighted in your game window.

3. Use the Shears

Next, use the shears on the oak leaves to cut them from the oak tree.

The game control to use the shears on the oak leaves depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the oak leaves.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the oak leaves.
• For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
• For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
• For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
• For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the oak leaves.
• For Education Edition, left click and hold on the oak leaves.

You will need to continue to clip with the shears until the oak leaves fall from the tree.

4. Pick up the Oak Leaves

Make sure you pick up the oak leaves before they disappear.

Once you pick up the oak leaves, they will appear in your hotbar.

A block of oak leaves is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
