Maiden’s Merry-Making

Find a cold/frozen biome. You should see some small pine trees growing here and there–chop one down and you get a Christmas tree.  Three iron ingots, a water bucket and two green dye will allow you to craft a tree stand; place it down, and use your Christmas Tree item on it. Voila, you now have a lovely Christmas tree.
Now it just needs some lights and a topper… To craft the lights, you'll need bulbs and wires. Wires are made with an ingot and some dye–either green or white, depending on what lights you want. (Classic lights (big) and mini lights use green wires, icicle lights use white)  To finish the lights, you just need a bit more glowstone dust and iron ingots.
Once your lights are crafted, use them on the tree layers to light it up! (You'll need 3 to cover the whole tree)   For a topper, 5 red carpet or 5 gold ingots placed in an X pattern will yield either a bow, or a star, respectively.  You can even mix it up and light the tree with either white or multi lights on each layer. Experiment and have fun! 🙂

You'll want to farm up a bunch of spruce leaves to create most of the decorative greenery in this mod.  For the garland, just place 3 leaves in a row, just like making planks.  To make the lit garland, combine it with either white or multi-colored mini lights.  Garland can be combined with picket fences and walls in a crafting table.

For a wreath, you'll need a bow, (5 red carpet placed in an X pattern) and 8 leaves. Place the bow in the bottom middle, and place the leaves similar to making a chest or furnace. (with the exception of the bow)  To make lit wreaths, combine a wreath with mini lights–white or multi. Wreaths can be combined with doors, and picket fence gates in a crafting table.

These can be crafted by placing wood planks in the top and middle slots on both right and left, with 3 slabs going across the top 3 slots.  If you have a stocking crafted, (two white carpet and 4 red carpet placed in a "J" shape in the crafting table) you can click the mantle with the stocking to hang it there. Each mantel will hold 3 stockings.

There are 4 different types of Christmas Lights, and 2 colors: White, and Multi-Colored.  They each come in horizontal, cap (this goes on the top block of a roof or other triangular design) and diagonal left/right varieties.  All lights use the same bulbs and wire, the recipes to create each type of light are somewhat different after that.  Wires are made with ingots and dye (either green or white)  Classic and mini-lights use green wire. Bulbs are made with glowstone dust, glass panes, iron nuggets, and dyes. (either white, or a combo of red, blue, yellow, green) 

To make the Classic lights, use green wires, bulbs, glowstone dust and iron ingots.  3 of these in a row will craft the horizontal variety, 3 in a slash ( / ) pattern will create either left or right diagonal versions. To make the cap version, place the lights in the top middle, left middle, and left right slots of the crafting table.

To make the Mini-Lights, use green wires, bulbs, glowstone dust and iron nuggets. The shape varieties are crafted in the same way as above.

Icicle lights are made with white wires, bulbs, glowstone dust and iron ingots.  Their shape varieties are the same recipes as the other lights. 

Twinkling Icicle lights use white wires, bulbs, redstone dust and iron ingots. The shapes are crafted in the same manner as the others.

Roof tiles make for some pretty looking roofs, and allow you to cover stairs with snow. Craft them with coal, gravel and clay balls, and then combine them with any vanilla wood stair of your choice. Once you've placed your 'roof' stairs, hit them with a snowball to cover them in snow. Now your house or base can truly look like it's in a Winter Wonderland!  

These are crafted just like regular fences or gates, but in a 3 tall pattern instead of 2. (3 planks on the left, 3 sticks in the middle, 3 planks on the right for fences, and reverse the planks/sticks for gates)  They can be combined with garland (fences) or wreaths (gates) to create a festive perimeter for your base or house.
