As the player is unable to damage the creaking, and a creaking has a hitbox wide enough, being in the same 1*1 hole with a creaking soft locks the player, making them unable to mine any blocks and only hit the creaking, which does nothing.

How to fix:
It should be made so that the creaking should attack the player when you collide with the creaking hitbox.
I also have a workaround. If it helps, naturally spawned creakings can despawn after reloading the world.
