Created by PinkGoosik and downloaded over 3.8 million times on Modrinth, this mod adds snowmen, gifts under Christmas trees, garlands, icicles, Santa hats, and warm scarves — turning any survival world into a proper holiday celebration.

FAQ
Does Winterly Mod work with Fabric and Forge at the same time?
No — you need to pick one mod loader per installation. Winterly supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt separately, so download the version that matches your loader.

Yes, both are listed as required dependencies. Trinkets Mod handles the wearable items like Santa hats and scarves, while Cloth Config API provides the configuration screen.
Is Winterly Mod available for Minecraft 1.21?
Based on the current release files, the latest supported version is 1.20.2. Check the mod's official page periodically for updates, as the developer has been actively maintaining the project since its 2021 release.
