== Drops ==
=== On death ===
No
Creakings do not drop any items or [[experience]] on death.
== Behavior ==
=== Unalerted or idle ===
dont get near
Newly spawned creakings begin in an unalerted state. While in this state, their eyes are dimly lit and they walk around aimlessly.
Idle creakings are not immediately hostile to the player, but become hostile once they enter the player’s field of vision.
=== Alerted or attacking ===
[[File:Creaking Chasing Player.gif|thumb|A creaking chasing the player when they look away from it.]]
it angr...!
When a creaking within approximately 12 blocks enters a player's field of vision, it becomes alerted. This is signified by an activation sound and its eyes glowing an emissive orange. While alerted, the creaking attempts to move toward and attack the player, moving only when outside of the player's field of vision (such as behind the player or hidden behind blocks). While outside the player's field of vision, an alerted creaking moves quickly toward that player.
When within a player's field of vision, the creaking becomes completely immobile and can no longer attack, nor can it be pushed or knocked back by player attacks. If all nearby players leave the creaking's detection range (or enter [[Creative]] or [[Spectator]] mode), the creaking returns to its unalerted state.
Creakings inflict {{hp|2.5}} melee damage in Easy difficulty, {{hp|3}} in Normal difficulty, and {{hp|4}} melee damage in Hard difficulty.
=== Field of view detection ===
near
The creaking's detection of whether it is being watched is based on the default [[field of view]] (FOV) setting of 70°. Increasing the FOV setting above this value allows players to see it moving in their peripheral vision. Similarly, players in [[third-person view]] can see it moving outside of their first-person FOV.
If a player is wearing a [[carved pumpkin]], any creakings within their first-person FOV can still move.
While in a player's field of view, the creaking becomes rooted into the ground and cannot move, be pushed or knocked back by players. However, the creaking can still be pushed or knocked back by water, lava, explosions, pistons, and [[wind charge]]s. [[Iron golem]]s, [[zoglin]]s, and [[warden]]s are able to knock the creaking into the air, and [[shulker bullet]]s can give creakings the [[Levitation]] effect, even when the creaking is rooted.
=== Linked to a creaking heart ===
haert
A creaking spawned by a [[creaking heart]] is linked to it and becomes completely invulnerable to all natural sources of damage, including player/mob attacks, [[explosion]]s, and environmental hazards such as [[drowning]] or [[fire]]. If necessary, it navigates on or through hazardous blocks such as [[magma block]]s or [[powder snow]]. When the creaking is hit by a player-caused source, it sways and produces a trail of orange/gray [[particle]]s that move in the direction of its connected creaking heart, and [[Resin Clump|resin clumps]] grow on blocks near the creaking heart during night-time.{{Info needed}}
Each creaking heart has a 32-block Euclidean-radius surrounding it, where its linked creaking resides in. The creaking never intentionally moves beyond this radius from its creaking heart, even when pursuing a player.
=== Other attributes ===
pillagers aer scaredy kats!!!
When in [[water]] or [[lava]], creakings naturally float to the surface and swim. When being watched, they stop in place and sink to the bottom.
Creakings spawned from creaking hearts are not subject to the [[Infested]], [[Oozing]], [[Wind Charged]] or [[Weaving]] status effects. However, creakings spawned using a spawn egg or commands are affected by these status effects as expected.
[[Pillager]]s, [[evoker]]s, [[vindicator]]s, and [[illusioner]]s{{only|je|short=1}} flee from creakings when within 8 blocks. Vindicators with the name tag "Johnny" alternate between fleeing from creakings and attempting to attack them{{only|je|short=1}}.
=== Despawning ===
day
Naturally-spawned creakings despawn during daytime if the weather is not stormy, unless they have been named with a name tag{{upcoming|java 1.21.5}}. They also despawn if they are outside the 32-block radius around their linked [[creaking heart]], or if they remain within the same block as a player for longer than 5 seconds, immediately respawning near the heart in both cases. A named creaking does not despawn.
=== Death ===
[[File:Creaking_BE1_JE1_Twitch_Animation.gif|thumb|right|A creaking twitches before dying.]]
No
Being invulnerable, naturally-spawned creakings cannot be killed by normal means. To kill a creaking, the player must destroy the creaking heart block it is linked to. Once the linked creaking heart is destroyed, the creaking twitches briefly before dying. This counts as the player who mined the block killing the creaking with regard to [[advancement]]s and [[statistic]]s.

== Trivia ==
* The creaking was made asymmetrical to further mark its contrast with the rest of the Overworld and make it different from other mobs.<ref>{{ytl|qnX6sPFjXnA|t=1548s|Minecraft Live 2024|Minecraft|September 28, 2024}}</ref>
* Creaking
* Some of the sounds used for the creaking are made using teeth, dead sticks and leaves, a creaky chair, a table, and pretzel sticks.<ref>{{ytl|qnX6sPFjXnA|t=1635s|Minecraft Live 2024|Minecraft|September 28, 2024}}</ref>
* During the Minecraft Live 2024 Developer after-show, Marco Ballabio jokingly claims that a group of creakings is called a crunch.<ref name="aftershow">{{ytl|rez5M40j5fg|t=20m40s|Minecraft Live 2024: Developer After-Show|Minecraft|September 28, 2024}}</ref>
* [[Chiseled Resin Bricks|Chiseled resin bricks]] feature the face of a creaking on them.
* In a photo tweeted by the official ''Minecraft'' Twitter account, the creaking's body appears reversed, with the eyes mirrored.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|1863614797989761298|Get ready|December 2, 2024}}</ref> Its body also appears reversed in the [[key art]] of the [[The Garden Awakens]].
• Despite the creaking made out of wood, it is resistant to fire.
