The Creaking Heart purpose, Bundles improvement

As of right now there's no incentive to fight The Creaking at all. The Creaking Heart HAS to have a purpose. Here are some ideas I've thought about:

• A) I strongly believe addition of The Creaking is an amazing opportunity to add actual helpers, minions to the game. Perhaps we could be able to use the heart and hay blocks to craft straw helpers, similarly to a popular mod that would wander around placed purified heart and perform certain tasks
• B) The Hearts could be used to enhance Bundles so that bundles enhanced with the creaking heart would pull items from the ground from a further distance than normal item collection range (creaking particles could be used for that) AND would be prioritized before the main inventory when picking up things that are already in a Bundle (as in the item will end up in a bundle instead of inventory, if that item is already inside of any of the bundles that the player has)
