A Christmas Tale
by SweetSkylia
A Christmas Tale is a Fabric decoration and adventure mod that adds Christmas-themed items, food, weapons and a core item built around a Stellar Heart.
What it does
The mod centers on a new core item, the Stellar Heart, which holds a Christmas spirit. Around it, the mod adds a set of new items, including food and weapons, all themed on Christmas magic. Players can use the Stellar Heart and the related items to build out a festive play experience in both single-player and multiplayer worlds.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so server owners and every player need it installed. It requires Fabric API and TerraBlender, and its files target 1.21 – 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest Fabric release, published on 2026-01-18. The author states the mod is still in development and welcomes feedback. Language support covers French and English. The code is public, but the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, so the mod is not open source.
