Default-Style Christmas Pack is a 16x resource pack for Java that keeps the vanilla look and layers festive detail on top. It is the pick for players who want a default style Christmas pack, not a full overhaul. It works on the player's side only, so you install it in your own pack folder.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.20 to 1.21.11.
What changes visually
- Festive lights on spruce trees, and in place of iron bars

- A candy cane GUI
Companion mods and settings
The creator recommends Entity Model Features, Entity Texture Features and Continuity, or OptiFine in place of Continuity. OptiFine is strongly recommended. Two optional extras pair well, the Wearable Christmas Hats resource pack (turns the pumpkin model into a Santa hat) and the Fabric mod Soft Weather (makes snow and rain nicer to look at).

Questions about Default-Style Christmas Pack.
4 questions
How do I install the Default-Style Christmas Pack?
Put the downloaded .zip into your resourcepacks folder, which you can open from Options, Resource Packs, Open Pack Folder. Then move the pack to the Selected side of the Resource Packs screen. A pack built for another release still loads but shows a warning.
Does the Default-Style Christmas Pack need OptiFine?
No requirement is listed. The creator recommends Entity Model Features, Entity Texture Features and Continuity (or OptiFine in place of Continuity), and strongly recommends OptiFine.
Is the Default-Style Christmas Pack available for Bedrock?
No. It is a Java resource pack hosted on Modrinth, and Bedrock uses a different pack format. Java players put the .zip in the resourcepacks folder. Bedrock players need a pack built for their own format.
Can I use it without the Christmas theme?
Not within this pack. For a winter look without Christmas decorations, the creator points to a separate pack, the Winter Pack. This pack shares a similar wintery environment but adds lights, gingerbread, candy canes and snowmen.
