New Minecraft Bedrock update attempts to fix creaking heart's rarity, but the issue persists

Mojang recently released a small new patch for The Garden Awakens Drop in the Minecraft Bedrock Edition. The 1.21.51 patch mainly fixed a major bug related to the new creaking heart block's rarity in the new Pale Garden biome. But keep in mind that while they have made the block more common in the biome, it will still be hard to find in Minecraft.

Here are all the details about the latest Bedrock Edition update and the creaking heart's rarity issue.

Creaking heart will remain rare despite receiving a patch in the recent Minecraft Bedrock update

As mentioned above, Mojang released a small patch update on Bedrock Edition to fix a major bug on December 11, 2024, a few days after the launch of The Garden Awakens Drop.

When the drop was first released, many players noticed that the creaking heart was very rarely found in pale oak trees. Since the creaking heart spawns the new Creaking mob and secretes resin, a new resource, its unavailability renders half of the drop's features rare. A bug report was also created on Mojang's bug tracker website.

To fix this bug, Mojang released the Minecraft Bedrock 1.21.51. In the patch notes, they wrote that creaking hearts will now appear more commonly in naturally generated pale oak trees.

Fixing the creaking heart's rarity might not matter much because of Pale Garden's rarity itself

However, simply fixing the frequency of the new creaking heart block might not completely solve the block's rarity issue. This is because the biome the block generates in, Pale Garden, is also extremely rare in the Mojang sandbox title.

In the picture above, a Minecraft seed map shows how the new region is as rare as one of the rarest biomes in the game, Mushroom Fields. The purple patches show the Mushroom Fields and the dark gray ones show the Pale Garden in a Bedrock Edition seed. The map depicts how since the spooky forest is rare, it automatically makes the pale oak trees and the creaking hearts in them rare.

So, if Mojang wants more players to find the new biome, the Creaking mob, and its heart, they will have to make the entire biome generate more commonly.
