Minecraft enthusiasts eagerly await Java Snapshot updates, which offer a sneak peek into upcoming features for the beloved sandbox game. The latest Snapshot, 25w06a, introduces two exciting new Chicken variants that are sure to become fan favorites. Here's a comprehensive guide on where to find all three Chicken variants in Minecraft.
How To Locate All Minecraft Chicken Variants
Warm Chicken
The Warm Chicken stands out with its vibrant yellow and orange feathers, a departure from the traditional white. These birds blend seamlessly with the warmer biomes, making them a bit tricky to spot. You can find them in the following biomes:
- Badlands
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Sparse Jungle
- Windswept Savanna
- Wooded Badlands
Cold Chicken
In contrast, the Cold Chicken sports striking blue feathers and thrives in colder environments. Here are the biomes where you can encounter this unique variant:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Taiga
- Windswept Forest
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Hills
Temperate Chicken
The third variant, the Temperate Chicken, is a familiar sight for seasoned players. Previously known as Classic Chickens, these birds inhabit biomes that are neither warm nor cold, making them widely accessible.
How To Tame Chickens in Minecraft
To gather all the Chicken variants, you'll need to master the art of taming. Unlike dogs, Chickens in Minecraft can't be traditionally tamed. However, you can attract them by carrying seeds, which will cause them to follow you. This gives you the chance to guide them into a fenced area. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of Chickens.
Keep in mind that transporting Chickens from distant biomes can be challenging. Setting up checkpoints along the way can help you manage your livestock more effectively. In Survival mode, be cautious of threats, especially at night, as they can jeopardize your efforts.
How To Breed All Chicken Variants in Minecraft
Once you've collected all three Chicken variants, breeding them to increase your flock is straightforward. To breed specific types, feed seeds to two Chickens of the same variant. They'll enter love mode and produce an egg that will hatch into the same type of Chicken. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different variants; the resulting egg will hatch into a random Chicken variant.
