During the recent Minecraft Live event, Mojang introduced a new hostile mob called Creaking. They shared important details about this creature and where players can find it. The developers also announced that this spooky mob, along with the new biome it will appear in, will be officially released later this year. Players will soon be able to test it in upcoming snapshots and beta/preview versions. 

In this guide, we will share with you all about the Minecraft Creaking mob.

Minecraft Creaking mob: All rumors

The Creaking was initially brought up before Minecraft Live 2024. Its name and design were leaked early, despite Mojang's plans to showcase the mob at the official event.

Initially, the mob name and the new biome where it would spawn were accidentally leaked on the official game website. Two days before the live event, some fans started sharing images from the developer after-show footage that clearly displayed the new mob and its features. This was the second leak. Along with these photos, a new block called the creaking heart was also revealed.

During all of this, Mojang used its official social media accounts to share subtle hints and teasers about the mob. However, many dedicated fans were already aware of it by that point.

Mojang Studios announced the Minecraft Creaking mob during Minecraft Live on September 28, 2024.

What is Creaking mob in Minecraft?

The Creaking was completely revealed at the live event and showcased further during the developer after-show. In this part, the mob's creators explored the new biome and the Creaking, providing details about its features.

The Creaking mob is slightly taller than the player’s character, and its texture resembles the tree trunks found in the Pale Garden biome. Its body is covered in dead vines that grow in the biome, helping it blend in with the forest.

A unique feature of the Creaking is that when it spawns in the Pale Gardens at night, it will only move toward a player if that player isn’t watching it. If a player has their eyes on the Creaking, it will remain stationary. This eerie mob isn’t very strong and can only inflict one heart of damage.

Players learned that attacking the Creaking won't cause it to die. They can hit the mob as many times as they want, but it won't take any damage or be defeated, even though it has only half a heart of health. Instead, the Creaking is associated with a new block called the creaking heart, a unique wood log block formed deep within a Pale Garden tree.

To eliminate the Creaking, players must find its heart inside one of the trees in the Pale Garden and break it. Once the heart is destroyed, the mob will simply crumble and perish.

Currently, the Creaking does not drop any experience points or items upon its death. Additionally, the new creaking heart block can only be used to summon the mob at night if it is placed again between 2 pale oak log blocks.
