Mojang Studios still needs to reveal creaking mob's use in Minecraft apart from being spooky
Minecraft recently revealed a brand new mob called creaking that will be arriving in one of the future game drops. The mob was introduced in Mojang Studios' live event on September 28, 2024. They showcased how the hostile mob looks and its basic mechanics. However, they have not revealed any other feature related to it other than it being extremely spooky.
Though the developers need not reveal everything about the creature at once, an argument can be made that the mob or the blocks it is connected to, needs to have some use for players.

Minecraft's creaking mob should have more useful features in the future apart from being scary
How was creaking leaked and eventually revealed?
The entire timeline of the Creaking mob starts even before Minecraft Live 2024. Though Mojang ideally wanted the creature to be revealed in their official live event, the mob's name and appearance were leaked before the event.
First, the game's official website was accidentally updated where its name and even the new biome where it will spawn was leaked. The name creaking and Pale Garden became known. The second leak was two days before the live event when several fans started sharing pictures of the developer after-show footage where the new mob is clearly visible. Even the new block, the creaking heart, was leaked with these pictures.
Amid all this, Mojang also shared minor hints and teases of the mob officially on their official social media handles. However, many hardcore fans in the community already knew about it.
Finally, it was officially revealed in Minecraft Live (September 28), where the developers explained how it would spawn at night and would be invincible until and unless its heart block is found and destroyed.
More features related to creaking have not yet been revealed
Apart from its looks and how it survives and can be killed, Mojang Studios has not yet revealed any details about how the mob or its related blocks and items can be used by players.
While Pale Garden offers a brand new exploration experience and a new white wood type, the creaking is currently only a spooky hostile mob that will attack players at night. Apart from how to dodge and kill it, it does not serve any other purpose as of now. The creature does not even drop anything upon death.
As the community gradually adapts to Mojang changing their update cycle and frequency, they could expect something more from the mob. Hence, the developers should add more useful features of either the new creaking block or the mob itself.
