Minecraft Java Snapshot updates are always eagerly anticipated, offering glimpses into future additions. Snapshot 25w06a introduces three exciting chicken variants. This guide details their locations and breeding.
Locating Minecraft's Chicken Variants
Warm Chickens: These chickens sport yellow and orange plumage. They're found in warmer biomes, including:
- Badlands
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Sparse Jungle
- Windswept Savanna
- Wooded Badlands
Cold Chickens: Sporting blue feathers, these chickens inhabit colder biomes:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Taiga
- Windswept Forest
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Hills
Temperate Chickens: These are the classic white chickens, now renamed "Temperate Chickens," and reside in all biomes not classified as warm or cold.
Taming and Breeding Chickens
To gather your chicken collection, remember that chickens aren't tamed traditionally. Instead, carry seeds to lure them into a fenced area. Be mindful of the distance to your base, especially in Survival mode, and consider establishing checkpoints along the way.
Breeding is straightforward. Feed two chickens of the same variant seeds to produce an egg of that variant. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different variants – the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
