Exploding Chickens

by iconicparadisestudio

Exploding Chickens makes chickens detonate right after they lay an egg, turning a routine farm into an explosion hazard for anyone nearby.

ForgeServer-side onlyMIT License1.21.6

What it does

Each chicken in the world blows up immediately after laying an egg, which causes an explosion around it. Players who keep chicken farms or walk through pastures are exposed to the blast, so the mod adds a chaotic twist to a common mob. Installing it needs Forge for Minecraft 1.21.6, and it is released under the MIT License, though the code is not open source. Because the environment is server-side only, players join without installing anything.

Key features

  1. Egg-triggered explosions

    A chicken detonates as soon as its egg is laid, so the timing of the blast depends on the chicken's own cycle.

  2. Area damage

    The explosion spreads to nearby blocks and creatures, which makes chicken pens risky to stand beside.

  3. Chaos in pastures

    Any farm or village with chickens becomes an unpredictable place, suited to players looking for a surprise.
