New Year Delight
by YH_Craft
New Year Delight, a NeoForge food and decoration mod, adds New Year themed fireworks, treats and seasonal decorations to the game.
What it does
Special firework blocks use vanilla textures for the top, sides and bottom, so they fit into existing builds. When ignited they create particle effects, and their explosions are visual only and leave the terrain intact. Opening a red envelope gives a random item such as emeralds, fireworks or enchanted cookies.
Rice Cakes grant a jump boost when eaten and Eight Treasure Rice restores hunger and clears negative status effects. Festive surprises bring luck and restore health with a short regeneration effect. The mod is meant to fill a world with holiday content.
Installation requires NeoForge. Installation covers the server and each player's game. New Year Delight is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 0.0.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest alpha file.
