thanks Mumbo

MUMBO

Mumbo, make a chicken empire on the new HC. Become chumbo the chicken lord

Are you going to build this on Hermitcraft?

I can see this design going on Hermitcraft lol

@@Noah-lj2sg Yeah, I guess I smaller. A bunch of chickens in a field is the "simplest" chicken farm.

@@Noah-lj2sg Well, once players know, it would count as simple.

@@Wmann no.

Just don't tell peta ;)

Definitely the most compact. Probably the most expensive single cell design out there though.

@@madman2572 Still like 30 iron and a quartz for something this compact is not bad.

Minecraft players when they witness horrendous animal abuse

@@loleq2137 probably still more animal-friendly than real life

good question, I would assume yes, but I'm going to go test it, brb.

@@index7787 Let us know what your testing shows

Here waiting for the test dont mind me

@@mikecroakphone same

Did you try a fox killing mechanism?

nice additions, i dig it.

You just gotta make the fox pick up a looting sword? It won't run out of durability?

@@racernatorde5318 iirc most mobs don't use durability. I pillages and helmets on zombies are the only exceptions

@@racernatorde5318 It doesn't use durability. You just give the fox a looting sword and make sure he doesn't get food, otherwise he'll swap the sword for it. The best way to achieve this is dispensing the eggs into a half slab with carpet on top and the fox standing in the carpet, so he'll reach the chicken entities once they grow but the chicken items lands below. As this is not 100% reliable, I still recommend using a hopper minecart for collection. You can either have fire aspect as well in the sword to obtain cooked chicken for food, or not and obtain raw chicken for trading.

Could you use a fox in this design if you put it in the other cauldron without putting lava inside of it? And put another carpet on top of it perhaps?

Good idea

Definitely worth the extra bulk for way more comfort

I think the idea is to only run the clock when you have a good amount of eggs collected and then you can turn it off once they've all been dispensed

@@AgentEm34 comparator clock will run only when there is eggs in dispenser

@@le0t0rr3z yeah.. obviously

I know right It distracted me so much

Compact chicken farm - compact intro

@@kangalio lol yes, next he's gonna compact his entire vid

Huh, and here I was wondering why my chicken farm, while being active for basically a Minecraft equivalent of a month, has mostly produced feathers, and even less chicken meat. In total it's not even a double chest of items worth.

@@outcast4087 Yeah I know the feeling lol. Killing chickens with lava can make getting their items very tough, found that out after testing it on creative. I suspect perhaps they made it like that to counter chicken farms, who knows.

@@brunoaltoe100 yeah, I guess so. Though I already have a semi-automatic cow farm, which is much more productive than the chicken farm. And since steaks replenish more hunger, I eat them, and not chicken.

@@outcast4087 Yeah this is definitely one way to improve your food source. The only real pro with chicken farms is them being fully automated imo. But it's only worth it if it generates enough to always fill your hunger bar. Or else getting food won't be fully automated still.

with minor adjustments it is tileable. you only need to use 1 observer and can use glass blocks with redstone dust on top instead. I'm not quite sure if QC might be an issue with the dispensers with the sculk sensor version. In case it is you can move the sculk sensor 1 higher and put alternating powered and activator rails below for the tileable version

Chicken battery... oh no

@@ilmango I don't know if I'm ever gonna use it on a large scale but its nice to know that this is possible. Good day, Sir.

Generally when you're making a chicken farm you won't want to spend extra iron on making it more compact, so other designs may still be better for that

but then water leakage stuff so maybe not so compact anymore

The chickens are probably going to be the loudest part of this farm anyway if you don't use an observer

Yeah ikr it would have been so much better with a basalt floor in the back... so disappointing he didn't seize the opportunity to build it this time

a floor for the chickens? ^^

i mean its pretty early game to get some eggs and caldrons

having too many chickens in one block will be quite laggy though. it's probably better to spread them out unless you're playing SP and don't care about lag.

@@ilmango Yeah, true. In the case where lag isn't a concern but space is, then I see it as not a problem. XD

how is it not too suited for early game. It's extremely inexpensive

@@vinicus508 to me at least, compared to the more general early game chicken farm, it's a bit too expensive than those so I wouldn't suggest someone to use it. It's more of a mid-early game farm (for context, defeating the ender dragon is late-early game)
