Remove "Particle beam" when Creaking is Attacked

I've always felt like the particles that point you to the creaking heart was a little too obvious when it comes to pointing you to the heart. But with the new resin that has been added, I think it makes the perfect replacement! I propose that resin replaces the particle effect.

I believe that the "particle beam" created when striking the Creaking is cool, but clunky and obtrusive way to search for the heart. Luckily, a new solution has just been introduced: The tree with the creaking heart creates resin on it when the Creaking is struck. Now that this mechanic has been implemented, I believe it would be beneficial for the particles to be removed and replaced with the creation of resin. (Or at least, make it toggleable through commands).

Here's my reasoning.

- The particles are quite obtrusive and don't make sense context of the world.

- Resin coming out of the tree near the heart makes sense in the world. (It's like the tree is bleeding)

- Searching for the "bleeding" tree is more exciting than following the particle beam. (It's more like a scavenger hunt, while following the "particle beam" is too straight forward.

- Searching for resin may create a need to look away from the Creaking, making the interaction more of a puzzle.

maybe particle beam could be kept but much weaker or brief, so it would baiscally only point general direction, since despite it can be more exciting to look for "bleeding" trees, it may be awfully hard and annoying to find one in whole forest, if it happens to generate big and dense enough
new particle could be about size of sound particles with sculk sensors, given you have to look at creaking to it not come to you, it could be still decently challanging to figure out exact tree while looking for resin
