Pale Garden
The Pale Garden is a biome added in update 1.21.4 that stands out with its eerie, washed-out colors. Pale oaks have light, almost white leaves draped in pale hanging moss, which gives the biome the atmosphere of a horror movie. At night a creaking appears here: a new, terrifying mob that only moves when no player is looking at it, much like the Weeping Angels.
