Rare new food type from pale garden

I think a biome as unique as the pale garden should have some rewards for players with more than just decorating their base and armour on their mind. I think naturally generated creaking hearts should drop a new item called mystic resin, which you get 1 - 2 of per creaking heart you break.

You can craft mystic resin into a block of it for decoration, trim your armour with it, and mainly, make immunity berries. One mystic resin and eight glow berries would make 8 immunity berries. These would give you the immunity effect, which would prevent knockback, damage, and status effects given to you by any entity besides yourself.

The immunity effect would only last for two seconds though, since this prevents it from being too overpowered and causes players to need to be strategic and time their immunity berry consumptions well. This would kind of reflect the creakings properties, which makes sense lorewise, and it wouldn't make golden apples and god apples less useful since golden apples and god apples are more meant to heal you, but immunity berries would be used slightly differently.

To make sure the mystic resin isn't too easily gained, the creaking heart could do something where it despawns the creaking and respawns it behind you, which would not only be pretty spooky and unpredictable, but would also stop players from trapping them in boxes or holes to mine the creaking heart.

As you said, it seems overpowered. So to prevent players from getting stacks upon stacks of this item, I propose either 1. It only drops from naturally generating creaking hearts, since these biomes are rare, some tweaking to the effect might be in order or 2. Make it have a low chance to to drop from the creaking heart rather than a guarantee.

Also make it so if the creaking can't path find to the player, despawn it and respawn it somewhere else (This would only happen if the player wasn't looking at it) , I believe this should happen regardless if this item is added or not. Anyway this is a great idea and adds a PVP element to this building focused update.

I like this idea, but it DOES seem pretty powerful. Instead, the crafting recipe could be eight mystic resin and one glow berry for one immunity berry, which lasts for five seconds instead of two, to even it all out. But the pale garden also does have the problem of no food, so to have some sort of pale bush at all would be nice, to harvest some berries from, similar to sweetberries.
