When a tree is chopped down (Only wood), you would expect saplings and apples to drop from the leaves that are suppose to disappear.
What is happening is the leaves won't drop saplings or apples right now without physically breaking the leaves yourself.

I disagree. I've chopped a number of trees (on the order of 10+) in different worlds and very often gotten zero or only 1 or 2 saplings out of them. Seems like a bug, or at least, if it is intended then perhaps it should be in a changelog as it is very different from 0.10 and earlier. It makes tree very nearly unsustainable which, is IMHO a game breaker.
I urge the mod or devs to have a closer look at this issue. It really seems like a bug / new behavior for 0.11.
The MC wiki states:
"Leaves which decay or are destroyed without using shears usually drop nothing, but yield saplings 5% (1/20) of the time. Jungle leaves drop saplings 2.5% (1/40) of the time."
Please start a new world, chop 10 Oak trees and see how many saplings you get. If, for arguments sake, each tree has 50 leaves that yields 500 leaves. If sapling drops are working according to the info on the wiki, then you should have approx. 25 saplings. In my experience w/ 0.11 so far, the true yield is on the order of 2 or 3 saplings.
50 leaves, 1/20 of the time (5%); that means that the average (NOTE: average) of the decayed saplings are 2.5 saplings per tree. I did what you said and trees dropped saplings, sometimes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or nothing.
And now upon further experimentation I'm seeing more reasonable drops too. My apologies! I must have had a particularly long streak of bad sapling luck (over a couple of worlds)... Perhaps I was stuck in a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead loop 🙂
This bug seems to be fixed in the latest beta version (0.12.1 build 11). I now get a reasonable number of saplings falling without needing to destroy the leaves manually.
0.12.0 and 0.12.0.1 are for windows 10 only. Android and ios players are still dealing with this foolishness. I am so very tired of breaking leaves.
It is supposed to do that, sometimes trees doesn´t drop saplings, and sometimes trees drops saplings up to 6 or more saplings. This is Work as Intended.
