Better Christmas Chests Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to enable Christmas textures or do they turn on automatically?
The mod activates Christmas textures automatically during the Christmas season based on your system date. If it's not Christmas time, the textures won't appear until December arrives.
Which chests actually get the Christmas texture?
Ender chests and trapped chests receive Christmas textures. The mod also applies the festive look to chests placed on boats, llamas, donkeys, and mules to keep your entire setup consistent.
Why aren't my chests showing Christmas textures?
Check that your system date is set to December—the mod only applies textures during the Christmas season. If it's December and textures still aren't showing, try reloading your world or restarting the game.
Does this mod work with regular wooden chests?
No, this mod only changes the textures of Ender chests and trapped chests. Regular wooden chests are not affected.
Will Christmas textures show on chests in multiplayer?
Yes, as long as the mod is installed on your client, you'll see Christmas textures on all applicable chests in multiplayer worlds during the Christmas season.
Can I manually turn Christmas textures on or off outside of December?
This depends on the mod's configuration options—check your mod settings or config folder to see if there's a toggle to force Christmas textures year-round or disable them entirely.
Does this mod affect chest functionality or just appearance?
This mod only changes textures and does not alter how chests work. All chest mechanics, storage capacity, and interactions remain completely unchanged.
What happens to chests on mounts if I'm not in the Christmas season?
Chests on boats, llamas, donkeys, and mules will display their normal textures outside of the Christmas season, just like Ender and trapped chests.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No, this mod only swaps textures and has no impact on performance or game speed.
Can I use this mod with other texture packs?
This mod works alongside resource packs, but if your resource pack includes custom chest textures, there may be conflicts. The mod's Christmas textures will override default textures during the Christmas season.
