Friend Baubles [A Christmas Mod]
by HowfWuff
Friend Baubles brings Christmas decorations, gift boxes, cookies and a small set of festive weapons to a Fabric world, all in the vanilla style.
What it does
The mod adds a themed decoration set for the winter holidays: colored ornaments that can be placed anywhere, red, green and white Christmas lights in four styles, and garlands and wreaths for doorways and walls. Stockings can be hung over a fireplace and dyed in several colors.
Gift boxes are functional containers that store the items placed in them. Craftable cookies and pudding can be placed or eaten. Villagers can work at a Workbench to take up a new Santa profession, who sells most of the items and decorations. A basic weapon set makes mobs catch fire for a brief moment and deals extra fire damage.
The mod needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric for 1.21.8 only. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The author notes that the list of items is not a full inventory and that some minor bugs may remain. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
