Along with its unique mob, the Pale Garden serves as the Overworld surface biome designed to balance the terrifying depths of the Deep Dark found in caves below.

For players eager to explore these woods, here are 5 things to know about the Minecraft Pale Garden so far, including tips, tricks, and some sample Pale Garden seeds.

1. Biome Ambiance

One of the more intriguing aspects of the Pale Garden is its sound design, which emphasizes ambiance in Minecraft. While most biomes are typically quiet aside from mob sounds and music, the Pale Garden is particularly silent, enhancing its eerie atmosphere. In 2025, players have noted how this silence pairs well with the dense fog in vibrant visuals mode, limiting visibility and adding tension.

In addition to the unusual quietness, certain blocks produce specific sounds at night, such as the Creaking Heart. Beyond these features, ambient sounds like leaves rustling enhance the atmosphere. No music plays here, fading out any current track upon entry.

2. Pale Flora

For players looking to introduce new shades of gray to their builds or add a gothic touch to nature-themed designs, the Pale Garden features a selection of pale plants and a unique biome color. With new moss blocks, ghostly leaves, eyeblossoms, and hanging moss available, there’s a distinct variety to choose from. Eyeblossoms, added in the full release, are flowers that open at night and close during the day, providing a natural clock and redstone signal.

True to its name, the Pale Garden features desaturated versions of blocks, making it ideal for spookier builds. Pale leaves are white across all biomes, perfect for winter themes. Hanging moss adds texture for underground builds and doesn't grow on its own. In 2025, builders have used these for creative horror-themed structures.

3. The Creaking Heart

Described as a "living block," the Creaking Heart is the true monster in the Pale Garden, using the Creaking as puppets to haunt players. It's hidden in pale oak trees, requiring an axe to find and remove. In the full release, Creaking Hearts are finite in naturally generated trees but can be crafted using resin blocks and pale oak logs.

The Creaking Heart

The Creaking Heart grants Monster Hunter advancements. By silk touching it and placing between two logs, players create a Creaking spawner. At night, an "awakening" sound plays. Attacking the Creaking produces a "screams" sound and spawns resin clumps on the tree for harvesting.

4. New White Wood Blocks

For builders, the Pale Garden introduces white wood blocks. This set includes doors, fences, buttons, pressure plates, and more. In 2025, these have become popular for minimalist and spooky designs.

Pale Oak

Pale Oak offers versatility with saplings, leaves, stripped logs, and planks. Combine with resin bricks for enhanced builds.

5. The Creaking

The Creaking is a hostile mob found only in the Pale Garden at night, dropping no items initially but tied to resin harvesting. Inspired by Weeping Angels, it's not a big threat alone but dangerous in groups.

The Creaking

Invulnerable until its Creaking Heart is destroyed. It deals minor damage but can overwhelm. Keep it in sight to immobilize it. In 2025, players use them in farms for resin.

Tips and Tricks

  • To find Pale Gardens: Search near dark forests in high humidity areas. Use tools like Chunkbase for seed mapping.
  • Surviving the Creaking: Always keep them in your line of sight to freeze them. Use torches to mark paths in the fog.
  • Harvesting Resin: Attack a Creaking to make resin clumps appear on its tree. Mine them quickly – 9 clumps craft a resin block for decorative bricks and crafting Creaking Hearts.
  • Using Eyeblossoms: Place them for a natural night detector; they emit redstone signals when open at night.
  • Building Tips: Mix pale oak with resin bricks for eerie structures. Grow pale oaks using saplings for unlimited wood.
  • Avoid getting lost: The dense fog reduces visibility, so bring a compass or map.
  • Farming Creakings: Silk touch a heart, place in custom trees for controlled spawning at night.
