Perhaps the coolest Easter egg during Christmas is the festive transformation of all chests to resemble gift boxes or presents. This affects regular chests, large chests, and even the ones inside minecarts. Simply place a chest and deck your world with some festive spirit.

Additionally, if you place two or more chests to create a large variant, it will be transformed into a large green gift box, becoming the perfect accompaniment for your Christmas-themed builds or decorations in the game.
