The developer of Macaw’s Holidays has integrated more than 250 different elements into Minecraft, and each of them will perfectly complement the overall style of the game and emphasize the mood of this holiday. Well, let’s get started, shall we?

Different types of pumpkins

A pumpkin is an important element of any Halloween, and the Macaw’s Holidays mod has added several dozen different pumpkins, ranging from the common ones with glowing eyes and up to paired, triple, and scary pumpkins. There’s a lot to chooses from, and here you can choose items both for the interior decoration and for putting them somewhere in the courtyard or on the buildings. Some of them glow at night!

Tombstones

Another important element is graves, tombstones, and everything related to death. As far as they are concerned, many unique and elaborate items have been added as well, from which you can easily build an entire cemetery in Minecraft. There are both single and double versions. Some even have inscriptions on them, but it’s hard to make out what exactly is written there.

Ghosts and a scarecrow

How can you do without ghosts on such a day? A few versions of white ghosts are perfect for decoration, as each of them has its own unique appearance and textures, but they are still similar to each other. The Macaw’s Holidays mod offers even more of different types of scarecrows, and they are of about the same height (two blocks). You can install them both indoors and outdoors. Perfect for decorating mysterious castles, hidden dungeons, and Minecraft locations, even if you create them manually.

Decorative items, skeletons

There’s a group of decorative items, such as vats, abandoned carts, and hordes of skeletons, which are incredibly detailed, has clear textures, and their own specific style. You immediately understand that the developer of the Macaw’s Holidays mod hasn’t just copied and slightly modified the models, but worked hard on each of them and made a cool product. Actually, he created all his mods under around the same principle, so you can trust the add-ons from the Macaw’s category! Just look at the screenshots, how cool it looks…

Spiders and cobweb

What kind of Halloween can do without cobwebs? So, here, the developer of Macaw’s Holidays has added many options instead of just one, as used to be in the vanilla version of Minecraft. Now, you can throw blocks around, create the illusion of abandoned buildings, and «pull the wool» over other players’ the eyes if you need to hide a spawner or some chests, as it’s extremely difficult to see them against the background of multiple cobwebs. A lot of decorative items looking like small spiders and bats are also added here…

That’s all that the Macaw’s Holidays mod adds within the Halloween theme, and the selection is really huge. We can even conclude that this is one of the best products dedicated to this holiday, which is why it has been downloaded more than 1 million times! But the mod’s capabilities aren’t limited to these functions, as it adds about a hundred more items that relate to other topics: New Year, Christmas, and we didn’t talk about this at the very beginning, so that you can discover these surprises at the end of the article. Therefore, we are gradually moving on to the New Year theme…

You can find everything related to the New Year in a separate section of the Macaw’s Holidays mod. Here, you’ll see even more different items, which make it possible for you to improve any building, update the décor and interior. These can be colorful packaged gifts, Christmas trees, snow-covered blocks, garlands, painted blocks, unique types of lamps, snowmen and so on. To somehow attract your attention, we’ve taken more screenshots of this particular section, demonstrating how cool many items are.

Almost all the added items aren’t functional at all. You only need them as a specific or themed decoration, but at the same time, all the items are different in size, texture, and elaborate appearance. Almost all the elements of Macaw’s Holidays are made in similar style, which becomes immediately obvious. If you need to decorate a building’s interior and exterior for the New Year, then Macaw’s Holidays is perfect for this. Believe us, you’ll never find a larger toolset, and there’s almost everything you need for these purposes. Indeed, considering that almost every item has several versions (sizes, different colors), then you can choose the one you need to suit every interior.

What’s the result? Macaw’s Holidays mod is suitable for recreating not only Halloween themes, but the New Year ones as well. It resulted to be such a universal product that can cover two holidays at once, although the first one is more popular in the USA. You can use the mod on the server, and almost any server administrator in Minecraft will approve of such a set of items, since it allows you to improve the appearance of any building’s interior and exterior. We are glad that there are such projects, and Macaw actively supports its mod by releasing numerous updates. It’s available for almost all popular loaders: Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge.
