Minecraft's Java Snapshot 25w06a introduces exciting new chicken variants, sparking anticipation among players. This guide details how to locate and breed these coveted birds.
Locating Minecraft Chicken Variants
Warm Chickens: These yellow and orange-feathered chickens blend seamlessly into warmer biomes. Look for them in: Badlands, Bamboo Jungle, Eroded Badlands, Jungle, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Sparse Jungle, Windswept Savanna, and Wooded Badlands.
Cold Chickens: Sporting blue feathers, Cold Chickens inhabit colder biomes. Search in: Old Growth Pine Taiga, Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Snowy Taiga, Taiga, Windswept Forest, Windswept Gravelly Hills, and Windswept Hills.
Temperate Chickens: Previously known as classic chickens, these are found in all biomes not classified as warm or cold.
Taming and Breeding Chickens
To collect your chicken collection, remember that chickens aren't tamed traditionally. Instead, lure them with seeds. This will allow you to guide them into a pen. Be mindful of travel distances, especially in Survival mode, and consider establishing checkpoints along the way.
Breeding is straightforward. Feed two chickens of the same type seeds to obtain an egg that hatches the same variant. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types – the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
