This creepy fellow is reminiscent of The Weeping Angels from Doctor Who.
Like them, The Creaking can only move when the player looks away from it.
What is The Creaking?

The Creaking is a newmob, designed to spawn within the new Pale Garden biome at night.
If you dare to look away, however, it will start its approach.
This mob is designed to include some of the spookier horror tropes and does not have any outward weaknesses.

In fact, it will take no damage at all when attacked.
Don’t despair though, it does have a weakness!

Instead, you’ll need to locate theCreaking Heart.
When attacking The Creaking it will emit little blocks that seem to swirl and point in a direction.
The Creaking Heart is brown and more textured than the surrounding grey-hued trees.
If destroyed with an axe with Silk Touch, it will be added to your inventory.
It is possible to avoid The Creaking altogether.
That means, in theory, you’re able to escape them.
Just remember to keep your eyes on them in the process or they’ll sneak up on you.
There isno official release dateas of yet.
This aligns with Minecraft’s promise of more frequent and smaller drops as opposed to their annual summer update.
That rounds up our guide on The Creaking in Minecraft 1.21.
