Stages

Christmas Tree has 4 different stages.
Each stage has lower gift cooldown.​

Stage 1: Sapling

It's looks like a normal one, but there are a bit of magic above it! On this level there are no gifts by default(Configurable) so we need our tree to grow!

Stage 2: Small Tree

From this stage tree starts to spawn gifts! (You can see one on the pic) It's has same ambient effect(but much bigger) and redstone lights!

Stage 3: Big Tree

It's almost final! Leaves are decorated with gold (fire) lights! And It's also has snowy ambient effect!

And here goes the final!

Stage 4: Magic Tree

Final tree stage that decorated with multicolored lights and magic-stars ambient!

Time to open gifts!

How to
To spawn Magic Tree you need to craft Christmas Crystal and than use it on normal spruce sapling!
