The exclusive eyeblossom and resin can be located only in the newly accessible Pale Garden biome, which can be explored via snapshots. Following its debut on the Bedrock edition last week, both items are now accessible for players on Java edition.

Harvesting these items is quite straightforward. Players can gather the eyeblossom flower during the day to obtain the closed variant, while picking it at night will yield the open variant. Unique among Minecraft flowers, the eyeblossom has two distinct forms that correspond to the day-night cycle.

For the resin, it can be collected by repeatedly damaging a creaking. When players hurt this mob, it leaves behind clumps of resin around its creaking heart. Players can easily track the orange trail to collect the resin clumps after engaging the mob, allowing for refining into useful items.

The latest Minecraft snapshot 24w44a introduces two distinct forms of eyeblossom—open and closed—which can be found during the day and night cycles within the biome. The eyeblossom flower serves many purposes in-game, including crafting suspicious stews and dyes, establishing its importance among in-game flowers.

The resin and its associated items, such as resin clumps, blocks of resin, and resin bricks, are also included in this update. Players have quickly embraced resin as a favorite block due to its vibrant color and versatility. Resin bricks can be transformed into stairs, slabs, and walls, making them valuable resources for building.

Furthermore, resin clumps can also be crafted into an exclusive Netherite armor, creating one of the most visually striking armor trim combinations available in the game. The item’s bright orange hue delivers a fiery glow, ensuring that the armor stands out dramatically.
