What makes the pale garden biome special?

The Minecraft pale garden biome is an exciting addition for builders and adventurers in the game. With its muted white tones and mysterious vibe, it is both spooky and enchanting.

You'll love using pale oak wood to create elegant, subtle builds. Additionally, the vibrant orange resin bricks can add eye-catching contrasts to designs. Pale mosses and hanging mosses create lush, textured builds, while eyeblossoms — magical flowers that bloom at night — add a whimsical touch to the biome.

The creaking, the biome's menacing new mob, keeps players on edge. It doesn’t take damage like typical mobs and only moves when you’re not looking, making encounters nerve-wracking. To defeat it, you'll need to find and destroy its heart block, hidden inside pale oak trees.

Resin can be harvested by hitting the creaking in Minecraft. The mob will emit particles that reveal its heart, and resin clumps will form around it, which can then be collected.
