*Minecraft* enthusiasts are always on the lookout for the latest Java Snapshot updates, which offer a sneak peek into the future of this beloved sandbox game. The recent Snapshot 25w06a has introduced two exciting new Chicken variants that are sure to become highly sought after. Here's a comprehensive guide on where to find all three Chicken variants in *Minecraft*.
How To Locate All Minecraft Chicken Variants
Warm Chicken
The Warm Chicken, adorned with yellow and orange feathers, stands out from the traditional white-feathered chickens. Its camouflage in warmer biomes can make it challenging to spot. Here are the biomes where you can find this vibrant bird:
- Badlands
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Sparse Jungle
- Windswept Savanna
- Wooded Badlands
Cold Chicken
In contrast, the Cold Chicken sports blue feathers and thrives in colder environments. If you're hunting for this chilly variant, explore these biomes:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Taiga
- Windswept Forest
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Hills
Temperate Chicken
The third variant, the Temperate Chicken, is a familiar sight for seasoned Minecraft players. Previously known as Classic Chickens, these birds can be found in biomes that are neither warm nor cold.
How To Tame Chickens in Minecraft
To gather all the Chicken variants, you'll need to master the art of taming. Unlike dogs, Chickens in Minecraft can't be traditionally tamed. However, you can attract them by carrying seeds, which will cause them to follow you. This gives you the chance to guide them into a fenced area. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of Chickens.
Keep in mind that transporting Chickens from distant biomes can be a long journey. Setting up checkpoints to leave your livestock while you return for more can be helpful. In Survival mode, be cautious not to leave them unattended for too long, as various threats lurk, especially at night.
How To Breed All Chicken Variants in Minecraft
Once you've collected all three Chicken variants, breeding them to increase your flock is straightforward. To breed Chickens of the same type, feed seeds to two of them until they enter love mode and lay an egg. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types of Chickens; the resulting egg will hatch into a random variant.
