Hilarious. Deadly.** Inject chaos into your Minecraft server or client with chickens that gain random traits, combat mutations, and rare boss behaviors. (https://github.com/DemonZ-Development/Chaos-Chickens/wiki) | (https://discord.com/invite/GYsTt96ypf) | (https://modrinth.com/project/chaos-chickens) </div> --- So, every time a chicken spawns in your world, there's a **35% chance** it'll get a random chaos trait. We made it configurable because some servers want mild chaos and others want absolute mayhem. The traits range from "annoying but funny" to "why is there a chicken summoning zombies at me?" Boss Chickens are the real endgame content though — they show up about 2% of the time, combine multiple traits, and hit like a truck. This is maintained by the DemonZ Development community. If you want to tweak values, add traits, or report broken behavior, the GitHub repo and Discord are the best places. --- ## What the traits actually do | Trait | Behavior | Range / Notes | |-------|----------|---------------| | Explosive | Detonates on death | Block damage can be toggled | | Speed | Moves way faster | 3x default movement | | Fire | Lights blocks underneath | Immune to fire/lava | | Magnet | Pulls nearby items | Steals loot from the ground | | Golden | Drops valuable items | Nuggets, ingots, emeralds, diamonds | | Disco | Rainbow particles + sound | Continuously | | Zombie | Chases players and summons reinforcements | 8 block aggro range | | Teleport | Random teleport when approached or hit | 5 block trigger | | Ice | Freezes water, places snow | 2 block freeze on death | | Cursed | Applies Blindness, Slowness, or Poison | 6 block proximity | | Boss | Apex multi-trait chicken | 2% chance, 3x health, weakness aura | The Boss variant is the highlight. It combines 3+ traits, has a custom boss bar, drops a Nether Star, and grants an advancement to whoever gets the final hit. It also has a few attacks — ground block launch and random lightning strikes — so bring armor. --- ## Boss Chicken details - Spawns with a `BOSS Chicken` tag and red boss bar - 12 HP instead of the normal 4 - Weakness aura in a 16 block radius - Won't teleport even if it has the Teleport trait - Drops guaranteed Nether Star + diamonds --- ## Supported platforms - **Bukkit / Spigot / Paper / Purpur**: 1.20 through 26.x - **Folia**: tested with region scheduling - **Fabric**: 1.21 through 26.x - **Forge**: 1.21 through 26.x Singleplayer and multiplayer both work. --- ## Quick setup ### Bukkit / Paper / Spigot / Folia 1.
