New Biome: Pale Garden Biome
The Pale Garden Biome is the highlight of this update, offering a mysterious, dimly lit environment filled with new flora and fauna. This biome’s beauty is matched by its dangers, especially after dark.
1. Overview of Pale Garden Biome
The Pale Garden is a low-light, mist-covered biome where Pale Oak Trees and various mosses create a haunting, ethereal atmosphere. Here are its key characteristics:
Pale Oak Trees:
- These massive, spectral trees have unique wood types called Pale Oak Wood, which introduces a new color palette to Minecraft building enthusiasts. Pale Oak Wood can be crafted into the following blocks:
- Planks: Perfect for adding a ghostly aesthetic to builds.
- Stairs & Fences: Compatible with most other wood types, offering builders a unique contrasting color option.
- Doors & Trapdoors: New patterns and textures for your Pale Garden-themed creations.
Building Tip: Pale Oak Wood pairs wonderfully with Quartz blocks and Glowstone for a mystical, otherworldly structure.
- These massive, spectral trees have unique wood types called Pale Oak Wood, which introduces a new color palette to Minecraft building enthusiasts. Pale Oak Wood can be crafted into the following blocks:
Pale Moss:
- The ground is covered in a thick carpet of Pale Moss, a versatile block that spreads like traditional moss in Minecraft. Pale Moss can be harvested and replanted, or even turned into Pale Moss Carpets for flooring.
Gameplay Tip: Use Bone Meal on Pale Moss to quickly spread it across an area, creating an instant garden-like environment.
Pale Hanging Moss:
- Found hanging under the leaves of Pale Oak Trees, this plant adds an extra decorative element. It can be expanded using Bone Meal, similar to Glow Berries.
Aesthetic Tip: Combine Pale Hanging Moss with Lanterns for a spooky, suspended lighting design.
2. New Resources from the Pale Garden
Exploring this new biome introduces new crafting possibilities:
- Pale Oak Wood Blocks: The light, muted hue of this wood fits perfectly into builds where you want a more neutral, eerie look.
- Pale Moss & Pale Moss Carpet: Create natural-looking landscapes or eerie interiors with this soft, spreadable ground cover.
New Mob: The Creaking
The Creaking is one of the most unsettling mobs introduced to the game so far. A nocturnal predator that thrives in the Pale Garden Biome, this mob can give players the creeps while offering an engaging challenge.
1. Behavior and Mechanics of the Creaking
Spawning:
- The Creaking spawns at night from a new block known as the Creaking Heart Block, found inside certain Pale Oak Trees. The Creaking Heart Block emits eerie noises, and destroying it is the only way to stop these mobs from appearing.
Behavior:
- The Creaking has unique mechanics that make it stand out from other hostile mobs. When you look at it directly, it will freeze, staring back at you. However, when you turn your back, it moves closer, similar to the Weeping Angels in popular lore.
- Movement: It is slow, but be cautious — when you're not watching, it can close the distance quickly.
Gameplay Tip: Light up areas around Pale Oak Trees to prevent Creaking mobs from spawning, and always carry a Torch or Lantern to keep these enemies in sight.
Combat:
- The Creaking has a moderate amount of health but can deal heavy damage if you’re caught off guard. It’s best to engage with a bow from a distance while maintaining eye contact.
