In our last discussion, we explored a brand-new biome called ‘The Pale Garden,’ as revealed during Minecraft Live 2024. Exciting updates have recently been announced for this biome, and I’m here to share the latest information with you!
Initially, we were eager about the introduction of a new white wood block to this biome. However, Mojang has stepped up the excitement by adding yet another unique block to the mix. Alongside this new block, a brand new flower and exciting bundles are now part of the game! Let’s get into the specifics!
1. Minecraft Resin and Eyeblossoms Update
This latest Minecraft update has introduced resin and eyeblossoms to the Pale Garden biome. Resin can be harvested from Pale Oak Trees and crafted into building blocks, while eyeblossoms are unique flowers that stay grey and closed during the day but burst into orange blooms at night, producing various colored dyes depending on when you harvest them.
Experience these new features in the Pale Garden biome—eyeblossoms and resin—today in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition! You can enable previews on Xbox, Windows 10/11, and iOS Realms, or join the beta version on Android through Google Play. Java snapshot testing will be available soon, but Bedrock players can jump in right away.
i. Resin
The excitement in the Pale Garden biome increases with the addition of resin blocks. These functional blocks can be crafted from Resin Clumps, which appear on Pale Oak Trees when the local Creaking population is disturbed.
- To collect Resin Clumps, locate and attack a Creaking.
- This action causes resin particles to appear around the associated Heart Block of the Creaking.
- Gather the resulting Resin Clumps and convert them into Resin Bricks.
- Alternatively, Resin Clumps can be harvested by breaking the creaking Heart Block.
- You may also discover Resin Clumps and Resin Bricks in chests within Woodland Mansions.
Resin Clumps can be transformed into a Block of Resin, hardened into Resin Bricks using a furnace, or even utilized to enhance armor. Furthermore, Resin Bricks can be engineered into various forms, including bricks, stairs, walls, slabs, and intricate designs. Additionally, you can create a creaking heart by placing one resin block between two pale oak logs on a crafting table.
ii. Eyeblossoms
The enchanting Eyeblossoms have come to life within the Pale Garden biome, showcasing a fascinating day/night cycle. These flowers switch between closed and open states as the daylight fades and reappears.
- By applying bonemeal to the grass in the Pale Garden, you can cultivate Eyeblossoms.
- When bees interact with Eyeblossoms, they may become poisoned.
- Consuming Suspicious Stew made with Eyeblossoms can trigger Blindness (for closed flowers) or Nausea (for open ones).
- You can create Gray Dye from Closed Eyeblossoms and Orange Dye from their Open counterparts.
Eyeblossoms have the intriguing ability to communicate with each other, synchronizing their blooming cycles. Despite their calming glow, they won’t ward off mobs during the night.
2. Minecraft Bundles of Bravery Update
The Bundles of Bravery update in Minecraft introduces two thrilling features: Bundles and Hardcore Mode. Bundles provide portable storage solutions, enhancing inventory management by allowing players to stack and store multiple items effortlessly.
Additionally, Hardcore Mode is now accessible on Bedrock Edition, providing players with a challenging survival experience, featuring the highest difficulty setting, limited to one life with no respawns.
i. Bundles
Get ready to streamline your inventory with the new bundles! This ingenious feature lets you organize and stack multiple items, making it easier to maintain your inventory while on the move. Unlike chests or barrels, bundles are portable and capable of combining item stacks. Key benefits include:
- Store various items within a single bundle.
- Easily view and manage items.
- Nest bundles inside other bundles (bundle-ception!).
- Perfect for organizing resources, gifts, or sharing in multiplayer settings.
ii. Bedrock Hardcore Mode
Embrace the ultimate survival challenge with Hardcore mode, now available on both Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Java Edition Realms! This rigorous mode keeps the difficulty locked at its peak, limiting players to just one life. Key aspects include:
- Difficulty set to the hardest level.
- One life with no respawns allowed.
- Upon death, you may only observe your world as a spectator.
- Available for both cooperative and competitive play in Realms.
As you venture into the stunning Pale Garden, remember that fortune favors the daring. Test your skills in Hardcore mode, and let your creativity soar with Bundles and Resin blocks. Best of luck as you explore the freshest additions to Minecraft!
