# Christmas

Presents spawn underneath trees in villages during Christmas and contain loot that can be configured in the [events.yml](/configuration/events-and-custom-events.md). Each village has a maximum of one tree with presents underneath. Present locations are stored in the data.yml and are removed on chunk load after Christmas has ended, ensuring that players can't encounter them later.

Colored particles appear during the night creating an atmosphere that feels like Christmas. Spruce trees have random leaves replaced with terracotta blocks representing Christmas decorations. These blocks are client-side only meaning that the world itself doesn't change and that the terracotta blocks won't drop any items. The Christmas trees are only available on Minecraft versions 1.20 and later for performance reasons.

Everything can be configured in the [events.yml](/configuration/events-and-custom-events.md) file.
