Minecraft update explained: How to find Pale Garden and defeat the Creaking mob

The Creaking mob offers a fresh new challenge to any longtime player, as unlike other enemies in the game, regular, direct attacks cannot harm them. So, to beat them, you will need to think outside the box.

Here’s all you need to know.

What is the Pale Garden biome in Minecraft?

The Pale Garden Biome has recently been introduced. The biome is a forest filled with white, pale oak trees and is a variant of the dark forest.

The Pale Garden, first revealed a little while ago, is finally here. It looks unlike anything we’ve seen in the game before, adorned by pale oak trees, hanging moss, and a generally bleak vibe. What’s most concerning, though, is the new enemy that spawns here: the Creaking.

What is the Creaking in Minecraft?

The Creaking blends into this new environment, disguising themselves as the oak trees. When you spot this enemy, they will stand completely still, attempting to hide their presence from the player, no doubt unnerving even the bravest people.

When you look away, the mob presents a threat, as they’re dangerously quick and won’t give you a second to breathe. They also can’t be defeated by regular means, making them a unique proposition for anyone playing the game.

How to defeat the Creaking in Minecraft and how to find the Creaking heart?

As we said, you cannot beat the Creaking through traditional means; if you attack them, they’re invulnerable, just dropping particles. So, to beat them, you will need to destroy the Creaking heart.

The particles that are being dropped will guide you towards where you can find the Creaking heart, so following these will take you to where you need to go.

Now, once you’ve found the heart, you can destroy it using an axe.
