C = Chicken
Chickens will automatically try to float. Rarely though, a chicken will miss a beat an fall under block such as ice. Adding an air hole will make them come right back up. Because it is still possible for it to fall under again, another airhole is crucial. If you have a chicken SPAWNER then you can seal off all airholes, and make sure that one block is a GRASS block. This will make them spawn and be pushed underwater through the tube and drowned. You will also have to greatly extend the drop. The final drop collector should be no more then seven blocks long.
Things to know:
- Chickens can fit in 1x1 spaces.
- Water flows seven blocks until it stops, or drops one block.
- Water cannot flow on itself, which means if water is flowing, it will not flow OVER another block of water.
- Chickens will not be killed by fall damage as they float just before landing.
- Chickens can be spawned in the nether.
- Water will evaporate in the nether.
- Chickens drop eggs while alive, and feathers and raw chicken when killed.
- Chickens drop cooked chicken when kill by fire.
- Chickens drop 1-3 experience ONLY if you deal at least one damage to them.
- Chickens have the same amount of breath that you have.
- Chickens will only spawn on grass in well lit areas.
- Chickens will only SPAWN on the first time you create a world, or with spawners.
- Chickens will no longer despawn, nor will any other mob.
- To breed a chicken, get two chickens, and give both of them one wheat.
- A chicken egg will not spawn an adult chicken, but a baby chicken.
- Baby chickens grow to adults after about twenty minutes.
