In our previous article, we were introduced to an all-new biome, ‘The Pale Garden’, straight from Minecraft Live 2024. Well, there are recently released additions to this biome, and I’m back to update you all on it!
We were thrilled about the new white wood block coming to this biome, but Mojang has doubled the excitement with yet another fresh block joining the lineup. And with it, we also have a new fascinating flower and bundles coming to the game! Let’s dive into the details!
1. Minecraft Resin and Eyeblossoms Update
Minecraft’s latest update introduces resin and eyeblossoms to the Pale Garden biome. Resin, obtained from Pale Oak Trees, can be crafted into building blocks. Eyeblossoms are unique flowers that are grey and closed during the day but bloom orange at night and yield different colored dyes based on harvest time.
Experience the latest Pale Garden biome additions – eyeblossoms and resin – today in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition! Enable previews on Xbox, Windows 10/11, and iOS Realms, or join the Android beta through Google Play. Java snapshot testing will follow later, but Bedrock players can dive in now.
i. Resin
The Pale Garden biome has just gotten more exciting with the introduction of resin blocks. These versatile blocks can be crafted from Resin Clumps, which form on Pale Oak Trees when you disturb the local Creaking population.
- To get your hands on Resin Clumps, simply find and attack a Creaking.
- This triggers resin particles to form around the Creaking’s corresponding Heart Block.
- Collect the resulting Resin Clumps and convert them into Resin Bricks.
- Resin clumps can also be collected by destroying the creaking Heart Block.
- Resin Clumps and Resin Bricks can also be found in Woodland Mansion chests.
Resin clumps can be crafted into a Block of Resin, hardened into Resin Bricks in a furnace, or even used to trim armor. Resin Bricks can be further crafted into various blocks, including brick blocks, stairs, walls, slabs, and chiseled variants. Additionally, placing one resin block between two pale oak logs on a crafting table can craft a creaking heart.
ii. Eyeblossoms
Minecraft’s Pale Garden biome now blooms with enchanting Eyeblossoms, featuring a unique day/night cycle behavior. These flowers exist in Closed and Open states, transitioning between them as day turns to night and vice versa.
- Players can grow Eyeblossoms by applying bonemeal to Pale Garden grass.
- Bees interacting with Eyeblossoms become poisoned.
- Consuming Suspicious Stew made from Eyeblossom induces Blindness (Closed) or Nausea (Open).
- Craft Gray Dye from Closed Eyeblossoms or Orange Dye from Open Eyeblossoms.
Eyeblossoms communicate with each other, synchronizing their opening and closing. Their faint glow may be soothing, but Eyeblossoms won’t keep mobs at bay after dark.
2. Minecraft Bundles of Bravery Update
Minecraft’s Bundles of Bravery update brings two exciting features: Bundles and Hardcore Mode. Bundles introduce portable storage, streamlining inventory management by allowing players to store and stack multiple items.
Meanwhile, Hardcore Mode, now available on Bedrock Edition, offers the ultimate survival challenge with locked hardest difficulty, one life, and no respawns.
i. Bundles
Get ready to declutter your inventory with bundles! This innovative feature allows you to store and stack items, keeping your inventory organized on the go. Bundles are portable, unlike chests or barrels, and can combine stacks of items. Key features include:
- Store multiple items in one bundle.
- Easily add, view, and remove items.
- Store bundles within bundles (bundle-ception!).
- Perfect for organizing resources, gifts, or multiplayer sharing.
ii. Bedrock Hardcore Mode
Take on the ultimate survival challenge with Hardcore mode, now available on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Java Edition Realms! This punishing mode locks the difficulty to the hardest setting, with only one life. Key features include:
- Locked on the hardest difficulty.
- One life, no respawns.
- You can only spectate your world if you die in this game mode.
- Available on Realms for cooperative or competitive play.
As you step into the enchanting Pale Garden, remember: fortune favors the bold. Test your mettle in Hardcore mode, and unleash your creativity with Bundles and Resin blocks. We wish you the best of luck in exploring the newest additions to Minecraft!
