Leaf Items and Craftable Leaf Blocks

When mining leaf blocks, instead of only getting saplings or sticks, I’d like to see actual leaf items drop.

• Each type of leaf (oak, birch, spruce, etc.) would drop a different colour and shape of leaf item to match the tree type.

• The drop rate would be the same as saplings or sticks.

• Four leaf items could be crafted together in a square to make the corresponding leaf block.

• This would make it possible to collect and use leaves without needing shears, while still keeping it balanced and rewarding.

Why:

It adds more decorative options, makes early-game building with leaves easier, and gives leaves a bit more use beyond composting or dropping saplings.
