A pale oak is a type of tree similar to dark oak that generates in pale gardens, with a thick pale trunk and gray leaves. Naturally-generated pale oaks have a chance of containing creaking hearts in them.

Pale oaks have some similarities with dark oak trees, including thick 2×2 trunks, irregular logs connected to the trunk and a similar canopy shape. However, they are gray in color and have pale hanging moss attached to the canopy. Pale oaks grown from saplings do not have pale hanging moss.

Naturally generated pale oak trees sometimes have one creaking heart hidden inside. At nighttime, this spawns a creaking mob that creates resin clumps on the tree when hit, and can only despawn when the creaking heart gets destroyed.

The pale oak only generates naturally in the pale garden biome, densely enough to let hostile mobs spawn during the daytime. Each tree has a 20% chance to spawn a creaking heart. The spawn attempt fails if there is no log that is completely hidden by other logs.

Pale oak saplings can be planted on:

• Dirt
• Grass Block
• Coarse Dirt
• Podzol
• Mycelium
• Rooted Dirt
• Moss Block
• Pale Moss Block
• Farmland
• Mud
• Muddy Mangrove Roots

Growing these trees requires four pale oak saplings arranged in a 2×2 grid; they do not grow if planted individually. They require a 3×3 column of unobstructed space at least 7 blocks above the sapling to grow (8 blocks including the sapling itself). This column is centered on the northwestern sapling. Additionally, pale oak trees require a 5×5 column without obstruction for the next 3 layers of its final height. No horizontal clearance is needed at the base of the tree (saplings planted in a 2×2 hole 1 block deep still grow).
