New Features

Gameplay Drop

• Added Pale Garden Biome, Pale Oak tree, Pale Moss block, Pale Moss carpet, Pale Hanging Moss and Pale Oak wood set
• Added Creaking mob, Creaking Spawn Egg and Creaking Heart block

Creaking Heart

A Creaking Heart is a “living” block generating in Pale Oak trees, covered on all sides by Pale Oak wood logs. It can spawn a Creaking mob when it is night time, and it is placed between two correctly aligned Pale Oak log blocks.

• Is active during night and dormant during day
• Sends a trail of particles towards the connected Creaking when the Creaking gets hit by the player
• When Creaking Heart block is destroyed, the connected Creaking is removed
• Creaking Heart cannot be moved by Pistons
• Creaking Heart cannot be used as fuel
• Creaking Heart spawning and despawning its Creaking emits vibrations from the Creaking’s position
• Naturally generated Creaking Hearts drop 20 to 24 experience, even when collected with Silk Touch

Creaking Mob

The Creaking mob spawns at night in the Pale Garden biome if there is a Creaking Heart block that has been generated in a Pale Oak tree. Gameplay features:

• An activated Creaking will not move if a player is looking at it
• Creaking is invulnerable to damage
• When hit, a particle trail is shown between the Creaking and the Creaking Heart block it is connected to
• When the Creaking Heart block the Creaking is connected to is destroyed, the Creaking is removed
• Is not affected by light levels but spawns and despawns based on day/night cycle
• Creaking cannot enter Boats
• Creaking spawned from a Creaking Heart cannot go through portals
• The Creaking Spawn Egg will spawn a Creaking mob that is not connected to a Creaking Heart. The Creaking mob will persist through day and night, loads and saves, and will take damage from attacks and other damage sources. It has one point of health (half a heart)
• Creaking summoned from the Creaking Heart cannot be spawned with a spawn egg, nor can it be summoned with commands. It can only exist as a part of the Creaking Heart block
• Player wearing a carved pumpkin on their head can look at Creaking without it freezing in place
• When a Creaking Heart is destroyed, its Creaking will twitch for a few seconds before crumbling
• Creakings spawned by a Creaking Heart will crumble when stuck in a hole with a Player for more than 5 seconds
  • This prevents a potential soft lock, as the invulnerable Creaking would prevent the player from mining or placing any blocks, requiring them to exit and re-enter the world to force the Creaking to despawn
• A Creaking crumbling causes nearby Sculk Catalysts to bloom
  • However, no Sculk will be placed since the Creaking does not drop any XP
• Creaking plays 4 different sway sounds
• Creaking plays new attack sounds

• Eyeblossoms planted on the ground will communicate with each other, helping each other to open or close
• Open Eyeblossoms have glowing eyes during the night

Ambient sounds in the Pale Garden biome do not come from the biome settings but are generated by blocks found in the biome
