Creaking (HARDMODE)
by Wavez
Creaking (HARDMODE) changes the Creaking mob in the Pale Garden biome into a harder version, for servers running single biome mode.
What it does
Creaking (HARDMODE) makes the Creaking mob much stronger and harder to fight. The author notes describe it as able to float, move faster and hit harder, to catch fire after one hit, and to keep following a player even when the player looks away. Creaking mobs also spawn in groups, similar to pigs, sheep and cows. The author states that the mob-spawn and behavior changes only apply in single biome mode in the Pale Garden, and that the floating behavior is fixed in a later version.
The mod is a Fabric build for Minecraft 1.21.6 only, with a 1.0.0 file published on 2025-06-23 on the alpha channel. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source. Public links cover an issue tracker.
Key features
Stronger Creaking mob

Fire on hit
A Creaking that hits a player sets that player on fire, according to the author notes.
Group spawning
Creaking mobs spawn in groups, in the same way pigs, sheep and cows do in vanilla.
