Leaves are an item and crafting material that was added in update v0.01 to The Forest.
Gameplay[]
Leaves can be collected from knocking down saplings, bushes, and other low-to-the-ground flora, including herbs. Leaves don't serve too much purpose, other than crafting Stealth Armor and stoking campfires.
They are automatically collected when hitting plants. Drops of leaves are based on a percentage chance per hit, so weapons that do less damage and take more hits to knock down the plant will yield more leaves. For example:
- Machete takes down bushes and trees in one hit, making it the worst weapon for gathering leaves.
- Legs and bones take the most hits, making it one of the best weapons for gathering leaves. This is generally the most effective way to gather leaves.
- Repair Tool does not use any stamina and can take down stick trees and bushes easily.

Glitches[]
- In the underwater cave off the eastern shore near two islands, swinging at the wooden model can give the player massive amounts of leaves. By standing in the small nook along the right hand side of the model and swinging towards the back of the cave, the player can get between 4 and 19 leaves a swing. The structure appears to take damage, but doesn't appear to break, meaning a weapon with as fast an attack as possible is most effective here. Upon attempting this in single player the large structure broke in a single hit, though hitting the stand the schematic was on from behind still works.
Notes[]
- Once you have stacked 10,000 leaves plants will no longer drop them when hit.
