What you need to know
- Recently, Mojang Studios hosted a new Minecraft Live show and unveiled the next two Minecraft content updates.
- “Bundles of Bravery” is coming soon and is a more minor release, but the more interesting update is coming later this year.
- The Pale Garden is a creepy new biome that’s home to The Creaking, dangerous tree-like mobs that will strike only when you’re not looking.
- It’s the perfect update for the spooky season, so it’s great that you don’t have to wait for the full release — the first Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot for the update is here.
As someone who has spent countless hours delving into the pixelated world of Minecraft, I must say that the latest announcement from Mojang Studios has me both excited and a tad nervous. The unveiling of “The Pale Garden” biome with its eerie atmosphere and terrifying tree-like mobs known as The Creaking is sure to provide an exhilarating experience for players this spooky season.
Just a few days ago, Mojang Studios unveiled the upcoming two content updates, or “Game Drops,” during the most recent Minecraft Live event. There was indeed a common thread for the new updates, with the second and more substantial release introducing a chilling new biome inhabited by one of the scariest mobs ever to join Minecraft: The Creakers. You won’t have to endure long waits – not even weeks – to explore these spooky new features.
Mojang Studios has revealed that an initial sample version (snapshot) for Minecraft: Java Edition featuring The Pale Garden biome and its tree-like creatures is accessible now for players who are eager to explore. Additionally, the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on various platforms will be launched soon. Here’s a rundown of the snapshot and what this upcoming content update (Game Drop) could bring to Minecraft later in 2021.
Everyone can get killed by The Creaking later this year, but you can do it early
At Minecraft Live 2024, Mojang Studios unveiled the upcoming “Bundles of Bravery” Game Drop, set to roll out to all Minecraft players in the near future. This update, however, will only incorporate Hardcore Mode for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (which is already available on Java Edition), along with the introduction of new portable and customizable bundles. A more intriguing update, scheduled a few months down the line, remains unnamed as of now.
In other words, the 24w40a Snapshot for Minecraft: Java Edition has been released (you can find a detailed rundown on Minecraft.net), introducing exciting new features that eager players can test out ahead of time. The Previews and betas for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Windows PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Android, and iOS will also receive these features soon; however, they’ll need to be patient a bit longer. So, what does this latest game update bring?
- The Pale Garden. The headlining feature for this upcoming update is The Pale Garden, a brand-new forest biome that looks entirely different from any other biome we’ve seen before.
- The Pale Garden is eerily quiet and almost entirely devoid of color, and is very dense with trees and foliage that reduce visibility
- The Pale Garden also has unique atmospheric sounds that grow steadily worse as night falls
- The Creaking. The Pale Garden is only home to one native mob, The Creaking. This hostile entity is one of Minecraft’s only truly asymmetrical mobs and also features some unique mechanics.
- The Creaking only spawns at night, and camouflages with The Pale Garden
- This mob is entirely immune to damage, making it a dangerous foe
- The Creaking only moves when players aren’t looking at it, similar to the infamous “Weeping Angel”
- Players wearing a pumpkin head can look at The Creaking without it stopping, though
- The Creaking Heart. The only way to defeat a Creaking is to track down its connected Creaking Heart and destroy it.
- The Creaking Heart becomes active at night when it’s surrounded by Pale Oak logs and spawns at least one Creaking mob to defend it
- The Creaking Heart has its own ambient sounds to help players track it down, and hitting a connected Creaking will result in particle effects leading to the Creaking Heart’s general area
- Once players destroy a Creaking Heart, all connected Creaking mobs instantly die
- Players can use a Silk Touch pickaxe on The Creaking Hearts to pick it up and place it somewhere else
- Pale Oak set. The Pale Garden is comprised almost entirely of Pale Oak trees and Pale Moss, resulting in a variety of new crafting materials and blocks.
- Pale Oak logs can be used to craft stripped logs, planks, doors, fences, fence gates, signs, hanging signs, slabs, stairs, trapdoors, buttons, pressure plates, boats, and boats with chest
- Pale Moss blocks spawn naturally in The Pale Garden, and when placed as Pale Moss Carpet can spread to adjacent blocks
- Pale Hanging Moss grows from the foliage of Pale Oak trees, and has its own unique set of ambient sounds
Starting today, you have the option to download the 24w40a snapshot via the Minecraft Launcher on your Windows PC to explore the latest updates. Frankly, I’m hoping that Mojang Studios will provide us with compelling reasons to visit The Pale Garden, particularly at night, as there currently doesn’t seem to be any motivation. Maybe they’ll introduce exclusive rewards and treasures that can only be discovered in The Pale Garden, and for now, Mojang is concentrating on the fundamental features.
Regardless of the approach, it’s fantastic that we’re moving swiftly, which should provide Mojang with ample time to refine these features prior to their unveiling in the “Winter Update” for Minecraft across all devices by year-end.
