*Minecraft* enthusiasts eagerly anticipate Java Snapshot updates, which often introduce exciting new features to the beloved sandbox game. The latest Snapshot, 25w06a, introduces two new types of animals that are sure to become highly sought after. Here's a comprehensive guide on where to find all three Chicken variants in *Minecraft*.
The Warm Chicken, sporting yellow and orange feathers instead of the traditional white, can be tricky to spot due to its camouflage in warmer terrains. You can find this variant in the following biomes:
The Cold Chicken, with its distinctive blue feathers, is the counterpart to the Warm Chicken and can only be found in colder environments. Look for it in these biomes:
The third variant, renamed from Classic Chickens to Temperate Chickens, is familiar to long-time players and can be found in biomes that are neither warm nor cold.
To collect all the different Chicken variants in Minecraft, you'll need to master the art of taming. Unlike dogs, Chickens cannot be traditionally tamed, but you can lure them with seeds. By carrying seeds, you can attract Chickens to follow you and then guide them into a fenced area. Repeat this process until you have the desired number of Chickens.
Be mindful of the distance back to your base, especially when collecting Chickens from distant biomes. Setting up checkpoints where you can temporarily leave your livestock can be helpful. In Survival mode, time is of the essence due to the various threats that emerge, particularly at night.
Once you've gathered all three Chicken variants, breeding them to increase your flock is straightforward. To breed Chickens of the same type, feed seeds to two of the same variant until they enter love mode and produce an egg. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types of Chickens; the resulting egg will hatch into a random variant.
