Guide to getting all the new blocks in The Garden Awakens

1) Creaking heart

The creaking heart is more than just a block; it’s the key to defeating the Creaking mob. To obtain it, you must locate the tree where the creaking heart resides by following its particle trail. Once you find the tree, destroy the heart block to defeat the Creaking or claim this unique item.

You have to use Silk Touch enchantment to obtain it without breaking it, or you can also craft it using pale oak logs and a block of resin.

2) Pale oak wood set

Pale oak trees are scattered throughout the pale garden, offering a ghostly twist on traditional wood blocks. Chop them down to collect pale oak wood, which can be crafted into planks, slabs, and stairs. Their desaturated color adds a haunting elegance to builds, making them perfect for spooky mansions or eerie forest cabins.

3) Pale moss family

The pale moss family includes blocks like hanging moss and ground moss, each adding layers of ambiance to the pale garden. Harvest these blocks to move them to other biomes, and recreate the haunting atmosphere elsewhere. Pair pale moss with pale oak wood for builds that exude spooky vibes.

By using bonemeal on pale moss, you have a chance to obtain pale moss carpet. Alternatively, you can use pale moss to craft pale moss carpets. You can bone meal the pale hanging moss to grow and farm them in The Garden Awakens.

4) Resin family

The resin family is all about bright, striking blocks. After gathering resin clumps and refining them into resin bricks, you can craft these vibrant blocks into stairs, slabs, and more. Their bright orange hue offers a stark contrast to the pale tones of the biome, making them a standout addition to your palette.

You have to hit the Creaking to make it form resin clumps around its heart. You can farm for the new resource this way.

5) Eyeblossom

This flower isn’t just decorative — it’s interactive. Eyeblossoms open at night and close during the day, reacting to nearby flowers in a chain-like effect. Harvest them by breaking them, and plant them on moss blocks to create your eerie garden. Just don’t mistake them for mobs; their design is deceptively similar to the Creaking.

You get orange or white dyes depending on if they are open or closed when you break them.

6) Pale oak sapling

Pale oak saplings allow you to grow your ghostly forest. Plant them on dirt, and watch them grow into haunting pale oak trees. This would be the perfect way to bring the pale garden’s spooky charm into other biomes. You can obtain them by breaking pale oak leaves.
