Minecraft Java Snapshot updates are always eagerly anticipated by players, offering glimpses into future additions. Snapshot 25w06a introduces three chicken variants, adding a delightful challenge for collectors. This guide details their locations and breeding.
Locating All Minecraft Chicken Variants
Warm Chickens: These yellow and orange-feathered birds blend into warmer biomes. Look in these areas:
- Badlands
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Sparse Jungle
- Windswept Savanna
- Wooded Badlands
Cold Chickens: Sporting blue feathers, these chickens reside exclusively in colder biomes:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Taiga
- Windswept Forest
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Hills
Temperate Chickens: Previously known as classic chickens, these are found in all biomes except the warm and cold biomes listed above.
Taming and Breeding Chickens
Collecting all variants requires a bit of effort. Chickens aren't traditionally tamed, but feeding them seeds will make them follow you. Guide them into a secure enclosure. Remember that transporting chickens, especially in Survival mode, can be risky, especially at night. Consider establishing checkpoints along the way.
Breeding is straightforward. Feeding two chickens of the same variant seeds will produce an egg that hatches into the same type. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different variants – the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
