NextChristmas
NextChristmas is a Forge mod that adds Christmas content to Minecraft, including a snowy biome with decorated trees, reindeer, sledges, and food.
What it does
The mod began as an entry in the WinterJam 2020 game jam. Its snowy biome holds decorated Christmas trees, and snow there melts with light. Reindeer spawn in the Christmas Forest, where players can find them while exploring.
Food is a central part of the content. A grain mill turns wheat, hazelnut and vanilla into biscuit dough, and an oven bakes the dough into biscuits. Eating a biscuit grants a status effect for a short time. Sledges move quickly over snow like boats, carry items in a chest, and can fly through the sky with elytra.
NextChristmas needs LibX, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Forge only, for 1.16.4, with the 1.16.3-0.1.5 beta as the latest build. The code is under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Snowy Christmas biome
Decorated Christmas trees stand in a snowy biome, and the snow melts when light falls on it, giving the terrain a visible response.
Reindeer in the Christmas Forest
Reindeer spawn in the Christmas Forest, adding animals to the seasonal landscape.
Biscuits from a grain mill and oven
Wheat, hazelnut and vanilla are ground in a grain mill into dough, then baked in an oven into biscuits that grant temporary effects.
Sledges and sweaters
Sledges travel fast over snow and carry chest storage, while a Santa hat and four Christmas sweaters add clothing options, and December mobs can spawn wearing Santa hats.
