same happens if you let the creaking fall to far by breaking the block below it so that it isnt in the range of its heart any more
This issue can technically no longer happen, as transient Creakings have been made to not be able to be named as of the latest release. Spawned Creakings are able to be named but function as intended due to their nature.
If there are plans to make a survival friendly persistent Creaking however, then this issue will need to be considered again.
Can confirm.
