Description

Resin Clump is a flat decorative block added in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4 "The Garden Awakens". Resin Clump attaches to any full block face and exists only in the Pale Gardens biome, where Resin Clump appears on the trunks of Pale Oak trees. Resin Clump does not generate on its own: at night, whenever a Creaking linked to a Creaking Heart is attacked by a player, a tamed wolf, or a player-caused explosion, the Creaking Heart places 2–3 Resin Clumps on Pale Oak logs and wood within 2 blocks, with a 5-second cooldown between spawns.

Resin Clump has a hardness of 0 and a blast resistance of 0, so Resin Clump breaks instantly by hand or with any tool. Since snapshot 24w46a Resin Clump can be waterlogged. Mining a Creaking Heart without Silk Touch drops 1–3 Resin Clumps (up to 6 with Fortune III), and woodland mansion chests contain 2–4 Resin Clumps — 53.8% of chests in Java Edition and 17.2% in Bedrock Edition. Resin Clump stacks to 64 and is fully renewable.

Smelting is the only recipe that turns Resin Clump into Resin Bricks: one Resin Clump plus any fuel in a furnace yields one Resin Brick, and no crafting recipe exists. Resin Bricks are a smithing material that adds orange trim details to armor combined with an armor trim. Nine Resin Clumps placed in a 3×3 crafting grid produce 1 Block of Resin, and the recipe reverses back into 9 Resin Clumps — a solid amber decorative block for accent walls, flooring, and Pale Gardens-style builds.

Guide

How to Obtain and Use Resin Clump in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Find the Pale Gardens biome

    Pale Gardens is a rare biome added in Minecraft 1.21.4, filled with Pale Oak trees under white leaves and a dim atmosphere. Locate Pale Gardens by exploring new terrain or with the /locate biome command in Java Edition.

  2. 2

    Collect Resin Clumps from Pale Oak trunks

    After a night fight with a Creaking, inspect nearby Pale Oak logs: the Creaking Heart has placed 2–3 Resin Clumps on them. Break any Resin Clump by hand — no tool required — and Resin Clump drops instantly.

  3. 3

    Farm Resin Clump with the Creaking Heart

    Find a Creaking Heart inside a Pale Oak tree and attack its Creaking at night. Every hit makes the Creaking Heart place 2–3 fresh Resin Clumps on logs within 2 blocks (5-second cooldown). Alternatively, mine the Creaking Heart without Silk Touch for 1–3 Resin Clumps, up to 6 with Fortune III.

  4. 4

    Smelt Resin Clumps into Resin Bricks

    Place a Resin Clump with any fuel in a furnace to smelt it into 1 Resin Brick — the only way to obtain Resin Bricks. Use Resin Bricks at a smithing table with an armor trim to add orange trim details to armor.

  5. 5

    Craft and build with Block of Resin

    Fill a 3×3 crafting grid with 9 Resin Clumps to produce 1 Block of Resin; the recipe also converts 1 Block of Resin back into 9 Resin Clumps. Block of Resin is a solid amber decorative block for accent walls, flooring, and Pale Gardens-style builds.

Tip

If you want Resin Clump before finding Pale Gardens, check woodland mansion chests: they hold 2–4 Resin Clumps in 53.8% of chests in Java Edition (17.2% in Bedrock).
