How to Get Resin Bricks in Minecraft (1.21.4)

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Smelt resin clumps into resin bricks, then craft four into the resin bricks block - an orange building block with slabs, stairs, walls and a chiseled variant. Resin clumps come from creaking hearts in the pale garden.

What you need

Resin clumps (pale garden / creaking heart)
Furnace + fuel
Pickaxe (any tier)

Step by step

Gather resin clumps: find a pale garden and hit the creaking that a creaking heart spawns at night - resin clumps grow on nearby pale oak logs. Mining a heart without Silk Touch also drops 1-3.
Smelt the clumps: put resin clumps in a furnace to get resin brick items.
Craft the block: four resin bricks in a 2x2 square make one resin bricks block - always mine it with a pickaxe or it drops nothing.
Build the family: resin bricks craft into slabs, stairs and walls, plus chiseled resin bricks for detail work.
Use the stonecutter instead: one resin bricks block cuts directly into slabs (2), stairs, walls or chiseled variants - cheaper and simpler.
Trim your armor: single resin brick items also work as an armor trim material at the smithing table, giving trims a warm orange tone.
Craft a creaking heart: two pale oak logs plus one block of resin - and a block of resin is nine resin clumps crafted together.

Java vs Bedrock

Crafting, smelting and stonecutting are identical in Java and Bedrock - both got the full resin family in the same update. The only historic difference: smelting XP was tuned down from 0.3 to 0.1 per clump early on.

Versions: Added in 1.21.4 - The Garden Awakens (24w44a) as the building-block branch of the resin family, together with the pale garden and the creaking.
