Gift drop
by TheMrCrow
Gift drop adds wrapped presents to the Forge game for 1.20.1, opened for festive loot and used as pranks between friends.
What it does
After a player sleeps, a gift may fall from the sky, and some gifts also turn up in caves with exposed air. Players can craft gifts themselves, wrap foods and other items, and give them to friends. Opening a gift yields a reliable item drop alongside a random pool of 26 items, and the chance of gifts falling can be adjusted through game rules.
The mod also covers Christmas decoration: gifts can be placed under a decorated tree. Unwrapping yields items such as Gingerbread, Slime Candy Cane, candy cane swords and joke cards. Prank gifts can be crafted to hand out, and they may contain a fake diamond pickaxe, reindeer droppings or a confetti explosion. Players who end up on the naughty list receive coal instead of a gift.
Gift drop runs on the client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for game version 1.20.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

What the author says
After sleeping there's a chance to find a gift falling from the sky. Or you can find them exposed to air in caves, and even craft them. Each gift has a guaranteed item drop, along with a random item from a pool of 26! (You can change the fall chance in the gamerules)
