Overgrown village

With the announcement of the new pale forest, a lot of criticism has surfaced regarding it being "too empty", giving no reason for players to actually want to explore it, unlike the deep dark, that has some sort of high risk high reward system.

With that in mind, I came up with an interesting idea. The overgrown village is a new type of abandoned village that could spawn in these forests. It's design is pretty self explanatory, it would look like the abandoned villages that already exist in the game, but with the added detail that a lot of the buildings would have vegetation growing all  around and inside them, as if the forest had consumed them.

The overgrown forest could have, along with regular village loot, some more unique loot to make players interested in exploring the pale garden. Personally, I don't have any really great ideas for unique loot, but here's the best I could come up with: forest essence. Forest essences would be decently common loot on these overgrown villages, and they could be put in a crafting table along with the creaking heart to make a "bound heart". The bound heart would work almost identically to the creaking heart, except creakings spawned by the bound heart would only attack hostile mobs.
