Modern Chickens FAQ

Walk around your world's normal biomes and look for basic Tier 1 resource chickens spawning naturally. You can also use the command /chickens spawn summon_random [normal|snow|end|hell] to spawn a random bird from a specific biome group near you.

Breeding two different chickens in a Breeder block creates higher-tier eggs with better drops and new resource types, while collecting eggs from a single chicken only gives you the same resource repeatedly. Breeding is how you unlock access to ores, fluids, and other materials you haven't found yet.

Hold the Analyzer tool and right-click on any chicken to see its stats, including growth speed, item drop rate, and what resource it produces.

Yes—place your best birds in Roost blocks, put a Collector nearby to gather dropped items automatically, and connect machines like the Avian Fluid Converter to your factory pipes. No redstone required for basic automation.

Use the Avian Fluid Converter to turn liquid eggs into actual fluids that your tanks and pipes can handle. This lets you integrate chicken farming directly into your factory setup.

Yes—the mod reads your game files and automatically creates new bird types for ingots and liquids added by other mods, so your chicken farm can produce modded materials too.

Edit the config/chickens_custom.json file to define your own bird types without coding, or use the /chickens custom list command to see all custom birds currently loaded.

Use the command /chickens spawn multiplier to adjust spawn rates, or edit config/chickens.cfg to fine-tune egg drop rates and machine speeds.

Throw eggs and use colored dyes on them to create dyed variants of chickens, giving you visual variety and different color options for your farm.

Performance depends on how many birds and machines you run simultaneously; use the Roost and Collector blocks for efficiency, and adjust config settings if you experience slowdowns.
