✨ Resin Block Features
Smooth texture, unique sheen, premium aesthetic — the ideal material for modern builds
How to Get Resin
To craft Resin Blocks, you first need to collect Resin Clumps. There are four methods:
🗡️ Creaking Attack
The most efficient method. Attacking a Creaking drops 2-3 Resin Clumps.
💎 Fortune Enchantment
Fortune III boosts drops to max 6 per hit. Massive efficiency increase.
💗 Creaking Heart Mining
Mine with Silk Touch to collect the Heart. Guaranteed resin source.
🏚️ Woodland Mansion
Rarely found in mansion chests. Luck-based but supplementary.
Optimal Collection Strategy
🎯 Maximum Efficiency Method
Use a Fortune III sword and exploit the 5-second cooldown to farm resin safely and efficiently.
| Fortune Level | Avg. Drops Per Hit | Per Hour Yield |
|---|---|---|
| None | 2.5 | ~180 |
| Fortune I | 3.5 | ~252 |
| Fortune II | 4.5 | ~324 |
| Fortune III | 6.0 | ~432 |
Step-by-Step Collection
- Preparation: Gather Fortune III sword, food, and a bed
- Find Pale Garden: Locate an area with multiple Creaking Hearts
- Daytime setup: Build safe attack position, lighting, and storage
- Nighttime farming: Attack Creakings at 5-second intervals
- Morning cleanup: Collect all dropped resin
Creaking Heart Strategy
Creaking Hearts are essential for both resin collection and Resin Block crafting.
Finding Creaking Hearts
⚠️ Night Only
Particle trails from Creaking Hearts are only visible at night. Daytime discovery is much harder.
Night Particle Tracking
- Wait for night in a Pale Garden
- Spot a Creaking when it spawns
- Follow the orange particle trail
- Locate the Heart inside a Pale Oak log
- Mine with Silk Touch to collect it intact
Mining Requirements
Silk Touch is mandatory for Creaking Heart collection:
- Recommended tool: Silk Touch diamond/netherite axe
- Speed boost: Efficiency enchantment for faster mining
- Durability: Unbreaking enchantment for tool longevity
- Repair: Mending for automatic XP-based repair
