*Minecraft* enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the Java Snapshot updates, which offer a glimpse into upcoming features for the beloved sandbox game. The latest Snapshot, 25w06a, introduces two exciting new Chicken variants that players are sure to chase after. Here’s your comprehensive guide to finding all three Chicken variants in *Minecraft*.
The Warm Chicken sports vibrant yellow and orange feathers, distinguishing it from the traditional white ones. Its camouflage in warmer biomes makes it challenging to spot, but here's where you can find it:
The Cold Chicken, with its striking blue feathers, is a perfect contrast to its warm counterpart and can only be found in colder biomes. Look for it in these areas:
The Temperate Chicken, previously known as the Classic Chicken, remains unchanged in appearance and can be found in all biomes that are neither warm nor cold.
To collect all Chicken variants in *Minecraft*, you'll need to master the art of taming. Unlike dogs, Chickens can't be traditionally tamed, but you can entice them with seeds. Simply hold seeds in your hand, and Chickens will follow you, allowing you to lead them into a fenced area. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of Chickens.
Be mindful of the journey back to your base, especially if you're in Survival mode. Set up checkpoints to temporarily house your Chickens while you continue your search. Remember, nighttime brings dangers, so don't delay your return.
Once you've gathered 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 until they enter love mode and lay an egg. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different variants; the resulting egg will hatch into a random Chicken variant.
