What it does

Boom Chickens introduces a new chicken type that commonly spawns in hot biomes. Its breeding food includes gunpowder alongside wheat seeds and pumpkin seeds, and a dedicated crafting recipe yields the Boom Chicken item. The mod runs on Fabric, and both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Explosive chickens

    The chickens detonate, so a flock in a hot biome can be a hazard to nearby builds and players.

  2. Gunpowder breeding

    Breeding uses gunpowder together with wheat seeds or pumpkin seeds, so the explosive variant comes from ordinary farm produce.

  3. Crafting recipe

    A crafting recipe provides the Boom Chicken item for players who prefer not to breed one.
