What is resin in Minecraft?

Minecraft is getting a lot of new items with the upcoming Winter Drop. The Winter Drop will add a new biome called the Pale Garden biome and a new mob called the Creaking. However, the developers at Mojang Studios are working consistently to improve all the upcoming features by tweaking things. The latest addition to the Pale Garden biome is a new item called resin.

This article will explain everything you need to know about resin in Minecraft. This includes what resin is, where you can find it, and how it can be used.

How to get resin in Minecraft

Resin can be found in the Pale Garden biome. However, Mojang Studios has made sure that getting it is challenging. You cannot just walk into the biome and look for resin. You must defeat the Creaking mob to get it.

The Creaking mob does not take any damage from normal attacks, no matter what weapon is used. The only way to defeat the Creaking mob is by destroying the Creaking Heart found in the forest. When it is destroyed, it drops resin clumps.

You can also find resin blocks in chests inside Woodland Mansions. These two are currently the only ways to find the resin in Minecraft.

Uses of resin in Minecraft

Resin clumps can be used to make resin bricks. You can put the block of resin into a furnace to harden it and turn it into a brick. These can be used to make other items such as stairs, slabs, walls, chiseled resin brick blocks, etc. You can use these blocks in construction projects to give them a unique orange color.

Another use of resin is in making armor trims, which give a distinct look to your protective gear. Resin blocks can be combined with Pale Oak logs in the crafting table to make the Creaking Heart. This is interesting as the Creaking Heart can be placed in any biome between two similarly oriented Pale Oak blocks to activate it.

Once activated, it will spawn the Creaking mob in a biome that can only be defeated by breaking the Creaking Heart. As these features are being improved, Mojang Studios might change or tweak some properties of resin in the final version. Apart from the resin, the developers have also added eyeblossom flowers that are exclusive to the Pale Garden biome.
