An azalea tree is a rare tree that can generate above a lush cave biome, marking the biome's presence aboveground. They extend their roots underground into the cave beneath.
Appearance
Azalea trees are made of oak logs and azalea leaves on the surface. Their roots consist of rooted dirt and hanging roots, which reach all the way down to the lush cave.
Generation
Azalea trees generate on any empty space above a lush cave, including inside other caves or in biomes that are not grassy.[1] This can sometimes produce jarring scenery, such as when the trees generate in snowy plains or mushroom islands.
Azalea trees can generate in water up to 2 blocks deep, similarly to 'swamp' oaks. Unlike all other trees, however, the maximum depth is limited by the azalea's unique root system feature config rather than a 'surface_water_depth_filter' placement modifier.
Blocks and items
These items can be obtained from azalea trees:
Oak Log (harvested with any tool, including hands)
Azalea Leaves (harvested with shears)
Flowering Azalea Leaves (harvested with shears)
Azalea (chance of dropping when breaking azalea leaves)
Flowering Azalea (chance of dropping when breaking flowering azalea leaves)
Stick (chance of dropping when breaking leaves)
Oak Planks (created from a log in the inventory crafting grid)
Stripped Oak Log (created by using an axe on a log)
Rooted Dirt (harvested with any tool, including hands)
Hanging Roots (harvested with shears)
Planting
Instructions: Add information about how the trunk of the tree grows
Azaleas and flowering azaleas can be planted on:
Dirt
Grass Block
Coarse Dirt
Podzol
Mycelium- Rooted Dirt
Moss Block
Pale Moss Block
Farmland
Mud
Muddy Mangrove Roots
Azalea trees requires a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 5 blocks above the sapling (6 blocks including the sapling itself). No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (an azalea planted in a hole 1 block deep can still grow). Growing an azalea tree replaces the block below its trunk with rooted dirt. This only generates one block of rooted dirt and no hanging roots.[2] Azalea trees do not need to be grown over a lush caves biome; they can grow anywhere, like saplings.
Interestingly, azaleas and flowering azaleas produce identical trees with the same proportion of flowering leaves.
