An azalea is a solid block that can be grown into an azalea tree.

Obtaining

Breaking

Azaleas can be broken instantly using any tool or by hand. Harvesting an azalea with shears consumes the durability of the shears for no additional benefit.

An azalea also breaks if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if water flows into it.

Block	Azalea

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

Natural generation

Azaleas generate commonly on top of moss blocks in lush caves.

Post-generation

When decayed or mined with any tool except shears and tools enchanted with Silk Touch, azalea leaves have a 5% chance to drop azaleas. The Fortune enchantment increases the rate to 6.25% at level I, 8.33% at level II and 10% at level III.

When using bone meal on a moss block, each block in a 3×3 to 7×7 area has a 15% chance of growing an azalea.

Usage

Azaleas can be placed on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, podzol, moss blocks, farmland, mud, muddy mangrove roots, and clay.

Unlike most transparent blocks, mobs can spawn on top of azaleas in Java Edition.

Composting

Putting an azalea in a composter has a 65% chance of increasing the composting level.

Fuel

Azaleas can be used as a fuel source in furnaces, smelting 0.5 items per azalea.

Growing trees

Unlike saplings, an azalea does not automatically grow into an azalea tree. Therefore, using bone meal on it is the only way to grow an azalea tree. Application of bone meal gives an azalea a 45% chance to grow into an azalea tree, provided there is a 3×5×3 area above it that is clear of all blocks, except for leaves and logs.

Data history

Java Edition
1.17			21w19a				minecraft:azalea has been added to the newly-implemented #minecraft:mineable/axe block tag. This, however, has no effect in-game, since the blocks break instantly anyway regardless of tool used or active effects.

1.21.5			25w10a				minecraft:azalea has been removed from the block tags #minecraft:mineable/axe and #minecraft:sword_efficient.
