The Creaking mob spawns at night in the Pale Garden biome if there is a Creaking Heart block that has been generated in a Pale Oak tree. Gameplay features:

An activated Creaking will not move if a player is looking at it
Creaking is invulnerable to damage
When hit, a particle trail is shown between the Creaking and the Creaking Heart block it is connected to

Is not affected by light levels but spawns and despawns based on day/night cycle
Creaking cannot enter Boats
Creaking spawned from a Creaking Heart can not go through portals
The Creaking Spawn Egg will spawn a Creaking mob that is not connected to a Creaking Heart. The Creaking mob will persist through day and night, loads and saves, and will take damage from attacks and other damage sources. It has one point of health (half a heart)
Creaking summoned from the Creaking Heart cannot be spawned with a spawn egg, nor can it be summoned with commands. It can only exist as a part of the Creaking Heart block
Player wearing a carved pumpkin on their head can look at Creaking without it freezing in place

Creaking Heart

A Creaking Heart is a “living” block generating in Pale Oak trees, covered on all sides by Pale Oak wood logs. It can spawn a Creaking mob when it is nighttime, and it is placed between two correctly aligned Pale Oak log blocks.

Is active during night and dormant during day
Sends a trail of particles towards the connected Creaking when the Creaking gets hit by the player
When Creaking Heart block is destroyed, the connected Creaking is removed

New system for Pale Garden ambient sounds

Ambient sounds in the Pale Garden biome do not come from the biome settings but are generated by blocks found in the biome

Creaking Heart block emits a set of eerie sounds when it is active during night and surrounded by Logs on all sides
