Chicken Nerf Reforged
An unofficial port of the Chicken Nerf mod for Forge, created with the author's permission.
This mod fundamentally changes the egg acquisition mechanics from chickens in Minecraft. Instead of random egg drops while walking, chickens will now only produce eggs after breeding. When you breed two chickens using seeds (as in vanilla gameplay), they produce a random number of eggs.
Advantages of the new system:
- Logical process - breeding becomes more meaningful and realistic
- Farm complexity - creating automatic chicken farms requires more planning
- Lag reduction - wild chickens no longer create random items throughout the territory
- Mechanic unification - chicken behavior now matches other animals in the game
Port features:
The number of laid eggs is calculated using the formula: (minimum_egg_count) + random number from 0 to (egg_count_variation)
