Hello!
In this week's snapshot we are adding a new experiment which will allow you to experience the Pale Garden, a new eerie biome filled with Pale Oak Trees and Hanging Moss. Beware of its sole inhabitant, the Creaking, and don't blink!
Happy Exploring!
Experimental Features
The experimental feature with the Pale Garden biome can be enabled by turning the "Winter Drop" experiment on. You can do this in the Experiments screen while creating the world. These experiments have no effect unless enabled. You can find more information about Feature Toggles here.
We would love to hear your feedback on the new Pale Garden biome and the hostile mob the Creaking.
