|title=🚨 '''ATTENTION ANDROID PLAYERS''' 🚨<br><br>Today's patch was mistakenly released from our Beta builds. Until this is reversed, we recommend that you '''DO NOT UPDATE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE'''. If you've already updated, '''DO NOT OPEN ANY WORLDS'''. Any worlds that are opened in 1.21.50.20 Beta will be upgraded to that version and you will not be able to open them in 1.21.30 - you'll have to wait until the 1.21.50 full release to open them again.<br><br>We apologize for any frustration or inconvenience this may cause, and immensely appreciate your patience and understanding in the meantime as we work to resolve this.}}</ref> This was fixed the next day by reuploading [[Bedrock Edition 1.21.31]] for all players, and then reuploading the beta correctly with the version number '''1.21.50.22'''.

== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
; [[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.
** Particle speed is affected by the distance of the creaking from the heart block.
* Mining the block is most efficiently done with an axe, but it only drops when using a [[Silk Touch]] tool.
** When creaking heart block is destroyed, the connected creaking is removed.

; [[Pale Hanging Moss]]
* Pale hanging moss generates naturally in the pale garden biome under the foliage of pale oaks.
** Pale hanging moss does not grow randomly, but can be bonemealed to grow down.

; [[Pale Moss Block]]
* Generates naturally in the pale garden biome.
** Pale moss blocks can be bonemealed to spread to compatible blocks.

; [[Pale Moss Carpet]]
* Generates naturally in the pale garden biome.
** When placed, pale moss carpet grows up to two blocks on the solid faces of any block that borders it.
** Pale moss carpet can be bonemealed to grow to full on all solid faces of any block that borders it.

; [[Pale Oak Leaves]]
* A new type of leaves.

; [[Pale Oak Log]]
* A new type of log, as well as a stripped variant.
* Can be used to craft pale oak wood and planks.

; [[Pale Oak Planks]]
* A new type of plank.
* Can be used to craft pale oak [[boat]]s, [[boats with chest]], [[button]]s, [[door]]s, [[fence]]s, [[fence gate]]s, [[hanging signs]], [[pressure plate]]s, [[sign]]s, [[slab]]s, [[stairs]], and [[trapdoor]]s.

; [[Pale Oak Wood]]
* A new type of wood, as well as a stripped variant.
* Can be used to craft pale oak planks.

=== Mobs ===
; [[Creaking]]
* The creaking spawns at night in the pale garden biome if there is a creaking heart block that has been generated in a pale oak tree.
** Is not affected by light levels but spawns and despawns based on day/night cycle.
* It will follow and attack players up to 32 blocks away from its creaking heart block.
** An activated creaking will not move if a player is looking at it.
** A player wearing a carved pumpkin on their head can look at creaking without it freezing in place.
* Creaking is invulnerable to damage.
** When hit, a particle trail is shown between the creaking and the creaking heart block it is connected to.
** When the creaking heart block the creaking is connected to is destroyed, the creaking is removed, with no loot or experience dropped from the mob.
* Creaking cannot enter [[Boat|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.

=== World generation ===
; [[Pale Garden]]
* A new biome which contains pale oaks and Pale Moss blocks/carpet.
* It is a variation of the [[dark forest]] biome, with pale oak trees instead of dark oak trees.
* Animal mobs do not spawn naturally.
* The grass in the pale garden has a desaturated, grayish look, the sky is a smoky gray, and water is a pale light blue.
** Any tinted leaves places in the biome also get a desaturated, gray look.

; [[Pale oak]]
* A new type of tree which can be grown from pale oak saplings in a 2x2 configuration.
** Generates naturally in the pale garden biome.

;[[Pale moss patch]]
*Vegetation patch feature consisting of pale moss and other plants found in the pale garden.

=== General ===
; [[Sound]]s
* Ambient sounds in the pale garden biome do not come from the biome settings but are generated by blocks found in the biome.
** Pale hanging moss emits subtle atmospheric sounds when it is attached to pale oak logs and pale oak leaves.
** Creaking heart block emits a set of eerie sounds when it is active during night and surrounded by Logs on all sides.
