So with the recent Magic Pack update, I noticed zombies dropping "Stolen Gifts." This was a little perplexing and I wasn't sure at first what mod was doing it at first. After comparing IDs though, I found it was grouped in with Steve's Carts stuff. It took me a little bit of digging and cross-referencing to get a decent idea of what was going on, but... I think I've found most of the information now. I can't actually tell if this is supposed to be an Easter egg or not, but I'm seeing no announcement of Christmas content, so I suppose it is. Personally though I find the process a little too convoluted and buried for all but very stubborn people to try and figure out without help, so... here's what I found out:
Stolen Gifts are dropped by zombies and perhaps by other overworld hostile mobs as well. These by themselves are useless. You have to either find a Christmas Villager in a newly generated town, or if that isn't doable, you have to craft a "Warm Hat" to turn a normal villager into one with a diamond, six red wool, and one white wool. Kind of expensive for this. You have to hand over three of these gifts to get one sheet of Green Wrapping Paper.
Red Wrapping Paper is dropped from Blazes.
A Stuffed Sock is obtained by going to sleep with a Sock.
NEI will tell you the rest, but this scavenger hunt allows you to craft a new mid-tier side-storage called "Gift Storage." I haven't got that far and tried it out myself, but the wiki says something unclear about getting random gifts when placing the cart for the first time. Anyone happen to know what that bit means?
