Santa's Delight
by FoxedDev
Santa's Delight brings a set of Christmas decorations into a Minecraft world, including string lights, candy canes, gift boxes and stockings.
What it does
Holiday decorations come as placeable blocks and items for building festive scenes. String lights can hang almost anywhere, a large candy cane block adds a striped accent, and ornaments and potted spruce saplings add seasonal touches to homes and halls. Gift boxes hold a single item each, and a stocking can be held in the hand like a real one.
The mod can be installed as a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt mod, and it can also be added to a server as a data pack. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Files cover game versions 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 and are released under the MIT License, so the code is open source. Its latest file, 1.2.1+mod for 1.21.11, was published on 2025-12-13, a few weeks after the first release on 2025-11-20.
