Details
Changes the textures used for Enderchests and trapped chests at Christmas as vanilla uses the same texture.
My textures are probably trash but I'm a programmer not an artist.
You can change when Christmas chests appear (from v1.0.1 onward):
- Always
- Only at Christmas
- Never
You can change each separate feature on and off (from v1.0.7 onward):
Features include:
- Christmas regular chests
- Christmas trapped chests
- Christmas ender chests
- Christmas minecart with chest
- Christmas horse chests
- Christmas zombie/skeleton horse chests
- Christmas donkey/mule chests
- Christmas chest boats
