The Creaking Heart is a block found in the Pale Garden biome of Minecraft, linked to the Creaking mob. Players cannot defeat the Creaking mob through traditional combat; they must break the Creaking Heart block to vanquish it. The Creaking Heart can also be used to summon the Creaking mob by placing it between two pale oak logs. It is a rare block that appears inside certain pale oak trees and can be located by waiting for nightfall when the Creaking mob emits particle lines leading to its corresponding Creaking Heart block. The heart has two appearances, active and inactive, and can be used creatively, such as employing Creakings as guardians or in horror-themed mini-games. Creaking mobs will spawn at night regardless of the area’s illumination.
