LET’S PLAY: DECOCRAFT: SEASONS AND UGLY SWEATER

What’s your favorite season? Winter? Good, but too chilly. Summer, then? Nice, but too hot. OK, how about fall? Great, but hard to show off your flair for fashion swimwear in. Gah! If only there was a way to enjoy ALL the seasons simultaneously? And to do that while wearing a sweater that’s proudly hideous?

Well, as luck may have it, the two Minecraft Marketplace add-ons we’re playing today can provide just that! Decocraft: Seasons by Razzleberries lets you enjoy all sorts of decorations that are perfect for celebrating every season. And Ugly Sweater by Pixel Smile Studios means we can look fabulously unfashionable during them all.

Before we get to the ugly sweater fashion montage (how’s that for a tease?), let’s start with Decocraft: Seasons. This comes with two handy tools that behave a little like the crafting table. The Seasons Decomposer and the Seasons Bench. 

Of course if you’re unadventurous/on a tight minecraft.net deadline, you can always just grab the new decorations in Creative Mode… But where’s the fun in that?!

You need a seasons decomposer to make craft supplies. Simply insert some coal into the fuel slot, then add dirt, logs, or cobblestone into the input slot. Yes, finally, at long last, a use for all those dirt blocks in your inventory!

Once you’ve made a bunch of craft supplies, you’ll want to build a seasons bench. This converts your craft supplies into all the new seasonal decorations in this add-on. Simply use the bench and this incredibly high-tech menu will pop-up:

Don’t be intimidated and burst into tears. Like we may (or may not!!!) have done. It’s actually fairly simple to use. You insert the craft supplies in the ‘INPUT’ box in the top-left corner. Then you use the arrows on the side to explore all the different items. 

If they’re blue, that means they’re very sad – probably because you haven’t inserted the materials you need to craft them. But if they’re in glorious color, go ahead and select them and then press the blue CRAFT button. Once the bar fills up, you’ll have your new decoration.

Oh, and if you wanna turn more of the blue options in the season bench craftable, you’ll have to input some different coloured dyes into the bench. Easy! Relatively!

Does this call for a SPRING ITEMS montage? Do you even need to ask?

Naturally, we’ve only scratched the surface of the spring deco this add-on has to offer. Look buddy, we’ve only got so much space and four seasons and ugly sweaters to cover. Stop yelling at us. Please.

…Have you stopped yelling at us yet? Wonderful, then let’s move on to Summer:

Why did we take one of those ‘summer’ screenshots in the pouring rain? Ah, we were basing it off British summer, y’see… 

Time to check out Fall and Winter! Huh? What’s that? Where’s your promised Ugly Sweater Montage? You’re about to write to your congressman about how we’ve betrayed you by not showing it yet? Eek, don’t do that! Instead, enjoy this brief Ugly Sweater Interlude:

(And remember these sweaters are NOT part of Decocraft: Seasons - check out Ugly Sweater by Pixel Studios if you want these!)

Sadly we don’t have the space to go over all the Fall and Winter parts of Decocraft: Seasons. So we’ve opted to focus on the spookier treats from Fall, just in time for Halloween (er, just in time for Halloween 2027, just to be clear).

Shall we end on a spectacular snowman from the Winter section of Decocraft?

See you next season! Er, we mean, next month! Which actually is next season… Great, now we’ve confused ourselves. Bah!
