There are two thing here to note - you don't initialize $this->post and you don't have the proper validation. You need to check for post.title and post.body, and you also need to display the actual errors.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
use App\Models\Post;
use Livewire\Component;
class PostCreate extends Component
{
public $post;
public $points = 10;
public $energy = 1;
public function mount()
{
$this->post = new Post;
$this->post->user_id = auth()->id();
}
public function increment()
{
$this->points++;
}
protected $rules = [
// 'category' => 'required|integer|exists:categories,id',
'post.title' => 'required|min:4',
'post.body' => 'required|min:4',
];
public function createPost()
{
if (auth()->check()) {
$this->validate();
$post = $this->post->save();
auth()
->user()
->increment('points', 10);
session()->flash('success_message', 'Post was added successfully!');
$this->reset();
return redirect()->route('posts.index');
}
// abort(Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN);
}
public function render()
{
return view('livewire.post-create');
}
}
To display the errors from validation, you can add the following snippet in your blade-file,
#if ($errors->any())
<ul>
#foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
<li>{{ $error }}</li>
#endforeach
</ul>
#endif

Add lazy to the wire.model:
<input class="w-full" type="text" wire:model.lazy="post.title" placeholder="Post title" />
<textarea id="body" rows="4" wire:model.lazy="post.body" class="border-gray-300 rounded-sm form-textarea"></textarea>
