The mob “Creaking” will soon be added to Minecraft – and it could have come straight from a horror movie. Because you must never look away.
Although Minecraft is considered a “children’s game” by many, it certainly has some creepy or complex elements. Just recently, they introduced the “Warden,” an enemy that regularly scares players. Now Minecraft has introduced the next innovation, which could be straight out of a horror movie where careless teenagers get lost in a dark forest.
Minecraft is getting a new mob: The Creaking.
Equally creepy is the Minecraft movie – but for different reasons:
This is how the creaking mob behaves: In the new biome “Pale Garden,” the atmosphere is eerie. There are no wildlife animals. Due to the thick growth of mangroves, you can see only a few steps ahead.
As if the new biome weren’t creepy enough, Creaking also displays rather unsettling behavior – or rather at night, as it only appears then, resembling a motionless tree. The mob approaches you whenever you can no longer see it. As soon as you turn away, it moves towards you at a high speed – namely at the character’s running speed. You can hear a faint rustling of leaves and creaking of wood – hence its name. Only if you keep the mob in sight does it freeze and remain motionless.
What is manageable with a single Creaking quickly becomes a problem with multiple. Because when the nasty tree creatures approach from several directions – and that with limited visibility in the difficult-to-navigate mangrove swamp – one quickly feels like the desperate protagonist in a horror movie.
At least: running can save your life, because Creaking will only follow you for a certain time. And that’s due to the only method to destroy the Creaking.
How do you defeat the Creaking? At first glance: not at all. Because Creaking takes no damage from attacks like swords or arrows. The mob is literally completely immune to attacks.
However, that doesn’t mean that Creaking can’t die. You need to find and destroy the “Creaking Heart.” This is a new block that looks like wood at first glance and is therefore a bit tricky to spot. Only when this block is destroyed does the mob disappear.
For this reason, Creaking is also “bound” to the Creaking Heart and will never move more than 32 blocks away from it.
When will the mob be released? There is still no concrete release date for the new mob. However, since Minecraft has announced that it will be releasing smaller updates more frequently in the future, rather than just one big update every few years, it may not be too long before you hear a suspicious creaking behind you while wandering the game world: Minecraft continually impresses with secret features that a streamer presents here.
