The pet chicken is a pet variant of the chicken introduced in 25w14craftmine.
Spawning
A pet chicken spawns next to the player on mine start when the "Pet Chicken" Player Unlock is active.
Drops
This chicken can lay regular eggs, and so can be used to introduce chickens into a mine that don't have any.
Behavior
The pet chicken is similar to the regular chicken, but there are still some differences:
- The player's melee attack can't damage the pet chicken.
- The pet chicken can't be attracted by using certain items (such as wheat seeds), and can't be fed.
- The pet chicken can die by falling, although it can slow down itself when falling.
