Minecraft, a game that has been reigning in the gaming world for fourteen years. As of 2023, Minecraft has reached over 300 million copies sold worldwide. The ever-evolving and limitless world of Minecraft is the primary attraction of this sandbox experience. Over the years, Mojang Studios has introduced multiple new elements to the game to keep it equally attractive for gamers. The latest Minecraft 1.21 update has added a fun new layer to animal farming and added two different types of chicken variants.
Whether one is a veteran Minecraft player or a newcomer, a chicken is one of the most convenient sources for players to survive. It’s the best food option one can have. So, tracking down the newly added chicken variants is necessary for gamers. This guide will help them with this tracking-down process:
After the March update, currently, the game currently has three types of chicken. One of them is the regular version, and the other two are newly added chicken versions. Below are the locations of all the chickens and how to track them:
The Temperate Chicken is the older version that players have seen in the game from the very beginning. It's the chicken that has white feathers, a red comb and wattle, and lays regular white eggs. Below are the biomes where players can find it:
Plains
Forests
Birch Forests
Swamps
Sunflower Plains
Meadow
These chickens are common and easy to breed using wheat, beetroot, pumpkin, or melon. Toss a few seeds between two chickens, and they will have babies.
Warn Chickens are a new addition here. The name already says where players can expect them to be found. These creatures roam in the warm biomes and have a yellow-and-orange colour pattern. They lay brown eggs. This makes them visually different from the other two types. Below are the locations where one can find them:
Savanna
Savanna Plateau
Windswept Savanna
Jungle
Sparse Jungle
Bamboo Jungle
Eroded Badlands
Wooded Badlands
Badlands
These chickens are kind of hard to find, mostly because of their colour. They easily blend into the dry, golden hues of the environment. So, when coming to find these chickens, it’s better to have a bed. Jungle and Savanna are tricky to navigate, and they may house hostile mobs.
The next newly added chicken addition in Minecraft is Cold Chicken. Cold Chickens feature blue-grey feathers and lay blue eggs, and mostly, these creatures are found in the snow biomes or high-altitude locations. Here are the locations where these creatures generally reside:
Taiga
Snowy Taiga
Old Growth Pine Taiga
Old Growth Spruce Taiga
Windswept Forest
Windswept Hills
Windswept Gravelly Hills
These chickens are easy to spot in the snowy areas. Notably, cold biomes are often remote and don’t have food and other supplies. So, make sure to arrange things before going there. Players can use maps or coordinates to track specific biome spawns.
That’s more or less everything one should know about the chicken variants in Minecraft. This isn’t an easy thing, but it's a rewarding adventure that introduces players to the game’s vast and varied biomes. From the classic white-feathered Temperate Chicken to the sun-soaked Warm Chicken to the frosty Cold Chicken, the Minecraft world adds a splash of different colours and farming opportunities to players.
By exploring different biomes, collecting eggs, and breeding chickens, one can easily create a fully activated chicken farm. Whether it’s for decorating the base or to enjoy the thrill of the game, hunting down different chicken variants is adding thrill to the game’s world.
