egg lottery
by adamosta2010
Egg Lottery replaces random chicken spawns with a single starting egg, and each chicken it hatches lays items that players can reroll and breed.
What it does
Chickens do not spawn in the world anymore. The only way to get one is to start with an Origin Chicken Egg or to craft an egg, and when the egg hatches it produces a grown chicken holding a random item. Each chicken delivers its item on a fixed schedule, and a countdown above it shows when the next delivery is due. The items range over blocks, ores, weapons, potions and food, and the lottery is intended to run for the whole game.
The chicken's output can be steered. Feeding it Lottery Feed, made from a gold nugget, wheat seeds and sugar, speeds up its laying. Breeding two chickens of the same level produces a chick one level higher, and a maxed chicken can be upgraded with an enchantment item at an enchanting table. An Imprinter chest ringed with gold nuggets can hold an item, and right-clicking a chicken with a gold nugget re-rolls what it lays. Chickens also have three levels and three genetics stages, and crouch with right-click stops laying until the player wants it to resume. The mod is published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.1 – 26.2, and is released under All rights reserved; it is not open source.

Chickens don't spawn in the world any more — the only way to get one is an egg, and every egg hatches into a grown chicken holding a random item from the entire game: any block, ore, weapon, potion or food. It lays that item once a minute, forever, and both the item and a countdown to…
