How to get the new items in The Garden Awakens

1) Resin brick

Resin is a key feature of the pale garden biome, and obtaining it is surprisingly fun and easy. To gather resin, interact with the Creaking. Simply punch the mob, and resin clumps will form around the creaking heart. Build a resin farm using the Creaking to collect large quantities in one go.

Once you’ve gathered resin clumps, refine them into resin bricks by smelting them in a furnace. Nine resin bricks can make resin blocks. These bright orange bricks are perfect for adding a pop of color to your builds. From stairs to slabs, you can craft all the usual block variations, and their simplicity makes them a joy to stack and mine.

Resin bricks can be used to add a bright orange color to armor trims.

If you’re in Creative mode, you can access the Creaking spawn egg to unleash this mob in any biome of your choice. The Creaking is a mob that only moves when you’re not looking, making it both creepy and hilarious. While you can’t damage it directly, having one on the loose adds an entirely new dynamic to your world.

You would also need a creaking heart for the Creaking mob to function. This new mob introduced in The Garden Awakens is reliant on its heart for its life. When you encounter it, you can’t do direct damage, it emits particles you can use to find its heart. By destroying or collecting it, you can neutralize the Creaking.
