Chicken boom

by rule83

Chicken boom adds exploding chickens: when one dies, it sets off a large blast with fire that kills mobs nearby.

What it does

Killing a chicken triggers a massive explosion that leaves large craters in the ground and can set fire to the area. Mobs close to the blast are killed too, and the mod is framed as a war weapon among chicken-themed joke content. It is a server-side mod, so players join without installing it, and the server needs Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.1 as the latest file released under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Explosive chicken deaths

    Each chicken that dies detonates, damaging the terrain around it.

  2. Large craters

    The blasts leave big holes in the ground, changing the landscape where chickens are killed.

  3. Area kills with fire

    Mobs near a chicken explosion are killed, and fire spreads from the blast site.

How it compares

Full comparison

Boom Chickens also runs on Fabric for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License and is not open source, but it runs on client and server rather than the server alone. Explosive Chickens 2: Revenge of the Fowl covers 1.21 – 1.21.1 and needs both sides, with a Creative Commons license instead of the MIT License.
