Dec. 3, 2024

The Pale Garden is an eerie and mysterious place that holds the beautiful white, pale oak wood set. However, don’t let the calmness fool you, as a threat awaits you here. This danger is in the form of a very unique puppet-like mob called the Creaking. Unlike all other mobs, which are rather dangerous, Creaking can be a tough nut to crack. Want to know what exactly the Creaking in Minecraft is and how to defeat it? Keep reading as our guide breaks that down here.

Minecraft Creaking: What Does It Do?

TheCreaking mobis a hostileMinecraft mobwith a unique appearance and an overall scary vibe. It spawns naturally inside the Pale Garden biome atnight. This mob’s unique ability is related to the spot the player is looking at. If the Creaking is on the player’s screen, it won’t move or attack. But,as soon as you look away, the Creaking will advance toward you in an attempt to hurt you.

This mob deals2 points of damageper hit on easy and normal difficulties and3 pointson hard difficulty, which isn’t all that bad. However, when you’re surrounded by many Creaking mobs and you cannot look at all of them at once, then you’re in trouble.

So, the first tip we’ve got for you is that you should alwaysstay on the edge of the Pale Garden biome, so you don’t get overwhelmed quickly. Also, light up your surroundings to eliminate other mob spawns.

Additionally, the Creaking doesn’t have a ranged attack but only a melee one. So, it’s possible to pillar up a few blocks and stay at a safe distance away from the Creaking if you need a few minutes to catch your breath.

The Creaking is different from all other mobs in Minecraft, as its life doesn’t depend on its health points but rather a unique block. It is theCreaking Heart,and it naturally spawns inside some pale oak trees.

This block is also the reason why Creaking spawns in the Pale Garden biome. If you collect the creaking heart and move it somewhere else, the Creaking will spawn there only during the night and if the creaking heart is activated.

So, theonly way to kill the Creaking is by breaking the respective creaking heart block. However, how do you know which one is associated with the particular mob?

So how do you destroy the Creaking heart? Start hitting this pesky Minecraft mob. It won’t take any damage, butit will emit a line of particlesleading to its specific creaking heart block. Once youfind it,destroy the Creaking heart blockusing an axe, and the Creaking will disappearwith a cool animation.

However, if you want to keep the Creaking heart then I suggest breaking it with anAxe with aSilk Touchenchantment. Provided you place the mob between two pale wood blocks, you can carry it. Moreover, the mob automatically despawns once nighttime is over so you can always just wait it out.

Now that we’ve discussed how to defeat this Minecraft mob, here’s what you should bring to the battle:

Naturally, blocks like armor and food are there just to keep you from dying from the Creaking attacks. Solid blocks will help you pillar up or block off a Creaking mob. Most importantly, the axe breaks the creaking heart blocks so you can get rid of the Creaking for good. You may use other tools, too, but an axe breaks this block the fastest.

With that said, now you know how the Creaking behaves, its weaknesses, and how you can defeat it in Minecraft. This is supposed to be a scary mob providing a unique and interesting combat challenge, not a Warden 2.0. So, that’s why it’s probably a lot easier to kill than you might’ve thought.
