Creaking Heart
Creaking Heart hides inside pale oak trees, spawns the Creaking at night, and drops resin unless mined with Silk Touch.
Description
Creaking Heart controls the Creaking mob rather than acting like a normal spawner. Creaking Heart removes its linked Creaking when the block is destroyed, daytime arrives, the mob wanders too far away, or a player overlaps the mob for several seconds. Creaking Heart also sends particles toward the linked mob when a player or pet hits it, creates resin clumps on nearby pale oak logs after attacks, and outputs a comparator signal based on the Creaking's distance. For survival play, Creaking Heart is both the threat source and the resin engine in the Pale Garden.
Guide
How to find, collect, and use a Creaking Heart in Minecraft
-
1
Search the Pale Garden at night
Enter the Pale Garden after sunset and inspect natural pale oak trunks, because active Creaking Heart blocks reveal an orange eye pattern at night.
-
2
Follow the particle trail
Hit the linked Creaking once from a safe angle; Creaking Heart sends particles toward itself when the mob is struck by a player or pet.
-
3
Break or collect the block
Use an axe for speed, add Silk Touch if you want the Creaking Heart block, or mine without Silk Touch when you need 1-3 resin clumps instead.
-
4
Place it between pale oak logs
To reactivate Creaking Heart, place the block between two pale oak logs aligned on the same axis and wait for night.
-
5
Use comparator output
Attach a comparator to Creaking Heart when you want a redstone signal that changes with the linked Creaking's distance.
A naturally generated Creaking Heart drops 20-24 experience when broken by a player, but a player-grown pale oak tree does not generate a new heart.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Creaking Heart do in Minecraft?
Creaking Heart spawns and controls a linked Creaking at night when the block sits between two pale oak logs. Destroying Creaking Heart removes that linked mob.
How do you get a Creaking Heart block?
Creaking Heart can be collected with Silk Touch from natural pale oak trees, or crafted with pale oak logs and a block of resin.
What does Creaking Heart drop without Silk Touch?
Creaking Heart drops 1-3 resin clumps without Silk Touch. Fortune increases the maximum resin drop, while Silk Touch keeps the block itself.
Does Creaking Heart work during the day?
Creaking Heart is dormant during the day and active at night. Daytime can make the block remove or replace its linked Creaking.
Can a Creaking Heart output redstone?
Yes. A comparator attached to Creaking Heart outputs a signal strength based on the distance to the linked Creaking.
