Chicken Nerf Reforged
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
An unofficial (permitted) forge port of Chicken Nerf.
Chickens will no longer randomly lay eggs. Instead, when you breed two chicken (with seed like in vanilla), they will produce a random number of eggs.
This has several advantages:
- It makes more sense
- It makes chicken farms non-trivial
- It can reduce lag because wild chickens won't randomly create items all over the place
- It more closely matches the other animals of minecraft
This port has basically the same behavior as the original mod, except:
- Instead of using Maximum eggs chickens lay to limit the maximum number of eggs a chicken can lay once, use "Number of eggs laid = (laid_eggs_count_minimum) + 0 ~ (laid_eggs_count_variation)" to calculate";
