This article is about the live animal. For its raw meat, see Raw Chicken. For its cooked meat, see Cooked Chicken.

Chickens (sometimes called Ducks[1]) are passive mobs found in Minecraft. Chickens supply feathers, raw chicken and chicken eggs, essential for arrows, food and cakes, respectively. Chickens are 0.875 blocks tall, 0.5 blocks wide and 0.8125 blocks long. A thrown egg has a 1 in 8 chance of hatching a chick, and a 1 in 256 chance of hatching 4 chicks at once.

Appearance

Chickens have white feathers and wings, yellow beaks, webbed feet and red wattles.

Behavior

Chickens appear to wander around aimlessly, but actually have decent path-finding ability. They will make no attempt to stay out of water. Chickens are drawn to light in a dark environment, and will follow the player if the player is holding wheat (seeds in 12w36a and beyond) (see Breeding).

When a chicken falls from a height, it quickly flaps its wings and falls slowly to the ground to prevent fall damage. They will also flap their wings in water to keep above the surface. Chickens will not climb up a ladder, but may be pushed up by the player.

While active a chicken will lay an egg every 5–10 minutes (6000 to 12000 ticks). In one experiment, it took 40 minutes for 9 chickens to lay 50 eggs (on average, 7.2 minutes/egg per chicken), and in another experiment 20 chickens lay 81 eggs in 30min (on average 7.4 minutes/egg per chicken). Baby Chickens will follow adults, regardless of whether the adults are their parents or not.

Breeding

Main article: Breeding

Chickens can be hatched by throwing chicken eggs, allowing them to be easily bred. Each egg has a 1/8th chance of hatching a chick and a 1/256th chance of hatching 4 chicks. This means that 5 stacks of eggs (80 total) will produce an average of 11 chicks.

Chicks move faster than adults. They take an average of 20 minutes to grow into adults. They do not lay eggs and will not drop resources if killed. Chicks will follow their parents or other adult chickens until they grow into an adult.

Adult chickens lay an egg every 7.5 minutes, so it takes an average of 55 minutes to produce a chick by collecting and throwing the eggs of a single chicken. Doing this continuously with a large number of chickens (several dozen) will double the population roughly every hour.

Chickens can also be bred by feeding them wheat. You need to feed 2 adult chickens to breed. The parent chickens will have a delay of five minutes until they can breed again. Newborn chicks will follow their parents (or a nearby adult if hatched from an egg).

It is possible to herd chickens along with any other animal if you simply walk by a chicken while holding wheat. The chicken will follow you wherever you go. You can do this to lead animals into fenced areas for easy breeding. This will still work when you're in a boat, if you're careful not to outrun them—this is an alternate means to lead a seed group long distances.

In an experiment breeding chickens with wheat every 5min and throwing all eggs 2 chickens became 5 chickens + 8 chicks after 30min and 18 wheat, and eventually 19 chickens + 18 chicks after 60min and 74 wheat.

Farming

The player can farm chickens quite easily by making chickens breed, and breaking their eggs, in a safe, enclosed area. Making a chicken colony is greatly beneficial to the player, for it gives an unlimited supply of feathers, raw chicken and chicken eggs. Unlike with other animals, a chicken farm can be started with a single chicken, but as noted above, it will take an average of five game days to produce a second adult chicken by breaking the eggs of the first. Once you have a pair, you can breed them with wheat every five minutes, hopefully getting your next pair of adults within 2 game days (30 minutes), with another three or four chicks growing. Assuming all eggs are collected (as loose items, they do vanish after the usual 5 minutes), a flock of chickens can add or replace a quarter of their adult number every game day. Breeding them with wheat can be much faster, potentially producing a chick and a half for each adult, each game day (but costing 2 wheat for each chick).

Fully automatic egg farms are also possible, since live chickens drop eggs periodically. The usual method is to place the chickens in a pool of water held up by signs so that their eggs will fall through the water into a collection area.

You can also build an automated hatchery by placing 3 dispensers around a block, trapping a Snow Golem on the block, placing a pressure plate under it, and loading the dispenser with eggs. The golem triggers the plate over and over again, causing the dispensers to fire the eggs, which may hatch.

A '''carrot''' is a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from carrot crops that can be used to plant them, eaten or used as a crafting ingredient.

'''Carrot crops''' are planted in [[farmland]] and used to grow carrots.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
{{See also|Fortune#Seeds}}
Fully grown carrot crops drop 2 to 5 carrots ({{frac|3|5|7}} per crop harvested on average). Yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} carrots.

The yield is calculated by a binomial distribution: 2 drops are fixed, then a drop is attempted three times with a success rate of 57.14286% to yield the extra 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one.

=== Natural generation ===
[[Village]] farm plots have a chance of having carrots. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

{| class="wikitable"
! Village style !! Chance
|-
| {{EnvSprite|plains-village}} Plains || 30%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|snowy-village}} Snowy || 10%
|}

=== Mob loot ===
[[Zombie]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[zombie villager]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping either an [[iron ingot]], carrot, or [[potato]] when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% ({{frac|1|100}}) per level of looting. This gives carrots the following chances of dropping:
* {{frac|1|120}} (about 0.83%)
* {{frac|7|600}} (about 1.17%) with Looting I
* {{frac|9|600}} (about 1.50%) with Looting II
* {{frac|11|600}} (about 1.83%) with Looting III

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|carrot}}

== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat a carrot, press and hold {{control|use}} while the carrot is selected in the [[hotbar]]. Eating a carrot restores {{hunger|3}} [[hunger]] and 3.6 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Farming ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1 = Crop farming }}

Carrots can be [[farming|farmed]] and harvested on [[farmland]]. Planted carrots take 8 [[Block tick|stages]] to grow, and go through 4 visually distinct stages. Planted carrots require a light level of 9 or greater to continue growing. If the light level is 7 or below, the crops instantly un-plant themselves ("pop off"). It is not possible to plant carrots if the light level is too low.

Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is [[Farmland#Hydration|hydrated]]. Using [[bone meal]] on crops also increases the speed of growth by randomly increasing their growth stage by 2 to 5.

Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

If {{cmd|gamerule mobGriefing}} is <code>true</code>, rabbits will find mature carrot [[crops]]{{only|je}} / carrot crops with growth stage greater than 1{{only|be}}. This reduces the growth stages by one, removing the crop completely when the growth stage reaches 0.

=== Breeding ===
Carrots can also be used to [[breed]] and attract [[pig]]s and [[rabbit]]s.

Villagers can pick up carrot items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 carrots to become willing.

=== Trading ===
Novice-level Farmer villagers have a 25% ({{frac|1|4}}){{only|bedrock}} or 40% ({{frac|2|5}}){{only|java}} chance to buy 22 carrots for an emerald.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Composting ===
Placing a carrot into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

'''minecraft:dupe_hack''' is a joke item from [[Java Edition 23w13a_or_b]].

==Obtaining==

Once the <code>dupe_hack_occurrence_chance</code> vote is approved the '''dupe hack''' item has a random chance of dropping whenever an entity with chests is killed by a player, e.g. when destroying a [[Minecart with Chest|minecart with chest]] with a [[sword]].

It doesn't appear in the [[creative]] menu, not even when the [[Options#Controls|option]] "Operator Items Tab" is enabled, but can be given to the player with [[Commands/give|<code>/give</code>]] and other commands.

==Usage==
The dupe hack item can be used to create a limited amount of duplicate items by placing it on a [[crafting table]] with any other item. It has a random chance of breaking, controlled by the <code>dupe_hack_break_chance</code> vote. This limitation can be mostly bypassed by putting the items in an [[Ender Chest|ender chest]] first and duplicating the chest.

An '''arrow''' serves as ammunition for [[bow]]s, [[crossbow]]s, and [[dispenser]]s. Arrows can be modified to give [[status effects]] to [[player]]s and [[mob]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Picking up arrows ===

Arrows shot by players can always be [[#Retrieving|picked up]] in Creative mode.

An arrow ''cannot'' be picked up by a player in [[Survival]] or [[Adventure]] mode if:
* It is shot by a player in [[Creative]] mode.
* It is shot by any [[mob]] able to shoot arrows, such as [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[pillager]]s, or [[piglin]]s. This includes mobs that do not shoot arrows in normal gameplay, such as [[illusioner]]s and bow-wielding [[wither skeleton]]s.
** This is the case even in Creative mode.<ref>{{bug|MC-128845|||WAI}}</ref>
* It is shot with an [[Infinity]]-enchanted [[bow]].
* It is one of the two extra arrows shot with a [[Multishot]]-enchanted [[crossbow]].

=== Mob loot ===

[[Skeleton]]s and [[stray]]s drop 0-2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 arrows with Looting III.

Strays have a 50% chance of dropping 1 arrow of [[Slowness]] when killed by a player. Each level of Looting increases the chance of this drop by 50% of the previous chance. This results in a maximum of 93.75% with Looting III.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[pillager]]s also drop 0–2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 arrows with Looting III.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level fletcher [[villager]]s have a 50% chance {{in|bedrock}}, or a {{frac|2|3}} chance {{in|java}}, to sell 16 arrows for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{IN|bedrock}}, master-level fletcher villagers have a {{frac|1|2}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows. {{IN|java}}, they have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows.  Trades {{in|java}} can be the base effect, level II, or extended; {{in|bedrock}}, only the arrow of decay is level II.<!-- A check should be made if it chooses randomly from the whole of the list of possible arrows variants, or it it chooses a base arrow potion effect, then randomly choose from that arrow's options. The first one would make arrow's without a level II, like Fire Resistance for example, slightly less likely than ones with all three options like Swiftness.  -->

<!-- None are extended duration, but villagers can trade level 2 arrows. -->

* Arrow of [[Harming]]

* Arrow of [[Invisibility]]

=== Bartering ===

Spectral arrows{{only|java}}/normal arrows{{only|bedrock}} can be obtained through [[bartering]] with [[piglin]]s, and have a ~8.71% chance to give the [[player]] 6-12 arrows.

=== Villager gifts ===
{{IN|java}}, any regular or tipped arrow (except for [[luck]] and [[Bad Luck]] arrows) can be obtained as a reward item from [[fletcher]] [[villager]]s when the player has the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.

=== Retrieving ===

Arrows stuck in a block that were originally shot by dispensers or by players in [[Survival]] without the [[Infinity]] enchantment may be collected. Arrows originally shot by [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[illusioner]]s, [[pillager]]s, [[piglin]]s, players in [[Creative]], players using the [[Infinity]] enchantment, or duplicate arrows created by [[Crossbow]]s with the [[Multishot]] enchantment cannot be collected. Arrows cannot be retrieved when they are stuck in a player or mob, and players or mobs do not drop them when killed. Retrievable arrows have a despawn timer of 60 seconds.

=== Cauldrons ===
{{main|Cauldron#Potions}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, tipped arrows can also be obtained by using arrows on [[Cauldron#Potions|cauldrons]] that contain [[potion]]s. The number of tipped arrows created depends on the potion inside the cauldron. When the cauldron is {{frac|1|3}} full, 16 arrows can be tipped. When the cauldron is {{frac|2|3}} full, up to 32 arrows can be tipped and when the cauldron is full, an entire stack of 64 arrows can be tipped. This is more efficient than using lingering potions as up to 21.33 arrows can be tipped per potion.

== Usage ==
{{see also|Bow}}

When fired, arrows fly in a [[wikipedia:Trajectory of a projectile|ballistic trajectory]] affected by gravity and drag in [[air]], [[water]], and [[lava]]. The arrow's velocity is multiplied by 0.99 every game tick, and it also experiences 20 block/s<sup>2</sup> of downward acceleration induced by gravity.

Arrows travel approximately 3 [[block]]s when fired parallel to a flat plane with no charge, 15 blocks average with medium charge, and 24 blocks average with maximum charge. When fired from a fully charged bow, arrows can travel 120 blocks if fired from an optimal angle. The maximum height an arrow fired by a bow can reach is around 66 blocks.

An arrow fired in water experiences much more drag than in air: it moves less than 8 blocks before completely losing horizontal speed and falling straight down, although the knockback of the arrow remains unaffected. It also leaves a trail of bubbles in its wake.

There is a random variable to the trajectory of an arrow, given by <code>this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.0075 * (double)inaccuracy</code> for the x, y and z coordinate. The inaccuracy is relatively small, becoming noticeable over larger distances. The inaccuracy of different arrow delivery devices may differ. Dispensers fire with an inaccuracy of 6, while bows fire with an inaccuracy of 1.

An arrow's speed determine the damage it inflicts. The damage inflicted is calculated by multiplying the arrow's [[#Entity data|damage value]] with its velocity in blocks per [[Tick#Game tick|game tick]]. When fired from a fully-charged unenchanted bow, arrows do {{hp|6}} of damage, with a smaller chance to damage for up to {{hp|11}} via critical hits. They inflict up to {{hp|5}} damage from a medium-charged bow, and {{hp|1}} from a bow with no charge. Arrows fired from dispensers always do {{hp|3}} of damage unless their velocity is modified by an external source. Arrows fired from [[crossbow]]s do {{hp|6}} to {{hp|11}} of damage.

Arrows trigger [[Damage#Immunity|damage immunity]] on hit. However, unlike other methods of damage that may bypass invulnerability under certain conditions, arrows hitting the mob while it is invulnerable lose all speed and drop to the ground, dealing no damage unless they contact another mob.

[[File:ArrowShotInTree.png|thumb|An arrow shot into a [[tree]].]]
Arrows also stick into objects they come in contact with and remain there for one minute before disappearing; the distance from the object and the angle determine how far into the target the arrow penetrates. Such arrows may be [[#Retrieving|retrieved]].

If the arrow has any custom potion effects (NBT tag <code>CustomPotionEffects</code>), all potion effects, including vanilla potion effects (NBT tag <code>Potion</code>) are removed 30 seconds after the arrow stops moving.

If an arrow is stuck in a block, and that block is broken or disappears (e.g., [[leaves]] upon decay), then the arrow falls straight down and damages entities below, but never deals a critical hit. The 1-minute despawn timer is then refreshed, meaning it will take another minute for the arrow to despawn.

Arrows bounce off players and mobs immune to damage, like a player in Creative mode, a [[wither]] under the "wither armor" effect, and a perching [[ender dragon]].

Arrows shot through [[lava]] or (if there's at least a 2 block gap) [[fire]] catch on fire and show an appropriate animation until they pass through water. Like arrows shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, they can set other entities they hit on fire for 5 seconds as well as ignite TNT and campfires.

An arrow shot at any kind of boat{{only|java|short=1}} or minecart causes the vehicle to break, dropping any components (including container contents).

Arrows can get visually stuck in players {{in|java}}, although not any mobs. They appear as regular arrows regardless of type.<ref>{{bug|MC-83933|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Redstone circuits ===

An arrow can activate a wooden [[button]], wooden [[pressure plate]], a [[tripwire]], or a [[target]]. An arrow will continue to power these blocks until it is removed, either due to despawning, or being picked up. Target blocks emit a redstone pulse for one second, as opposed to the static depressed state of the other switches. Non-wooden switches are not affected by arrows.

When arrows are fired into the sides of blocks, they change their orientation to point more downward than their original flight path might indicate. This can cause them to intersect and thus trigger switches above them that they didn't actually hit, or block rails above them.

=== Explosions ===

Arrows are affected by explosions while they are in flight. Since explosions can increase the speed of an arrow, they can also increase the damage dealt by them. {{only|Java}}

== Variants ==

=== Tipped arrows ===
{{See also|#Crafting}}

Tipped arrows are arrows that imbue a potion effect when hitting a mob or player. The duration of the effect is {{frac|1|8}} that of the corresponding potion, if applicable, and is not affected by the power of the arrow. The status effect is the same as the regular power effect for the potion. If a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], tipped arrows are still consumed. 

The types of arrows are:

<div class="list-style-none" style="-moz-column-width:19em;-webkit-column-width:19em;column-width:19em">
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Regeneration}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Swiftness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Fire Resistance}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Healing}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Night Vision}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Strength}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Leaping}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Invisibility}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Poison}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Weakness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slowness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Harming}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Water Breathing}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Luck}}{{only|java|short=1}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Decay}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of the Turtle Master}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slow Falling}}
</div>

Arrows of Harming (and arrows of Healing when used against undead mobs) do not add a static amount of damage to the arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-107856||Arrows of harming/healing do not stack with bow damage}}</ref> Instead, the arrow's damage is first calculated, then checked to see if it is below {{Health|12}}. If the arrow's damage is less than 12, the Harming effect of the arrow makes up the difference, to ensure the arrow does exactly {{Health|12}}. Therefore, an unenchanted bow cannot deal more than 12 damage using Harming (or Healing) arrows, as it can deal a maximum of {{Health|11}} damage on level ground. However, if the arrow would deal more than 12 damage, the harming effect is entirely neutralized. This means that bows enchanted with Power I through Power III has a chance to not utilize the arrow at full charge, and any Power level above III never utilizes Arrows of Harming effectively at full charge when against unarmored mobs/players. 

==== No-effect tipped arrows ====

It is possible to craft tipped arrows using [[Lingering Potion#Lingering water bottle|Lingering Water Bottles]] as well as Awkward, Thick, and Mundane [[Lingering Potion|Lingering potions]]. If crafted with a water bottle, the arrow is called an arrow of Splashing. If crafted with Mundane, Awkward, or Thick potions, it is called a tipped arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-158539}}</ref> Tipped arrows crafted from different potions do not stack, as resultant tipped arrows all have different potion tags.

In Bedrock Edition, all four kinds as well as the long mundane tipped arrow aren't obtainable either in creative, by cauldrons, by crafting, or by commands.

All four kinds generate blue particles in flight and upon landing, but otherwise behave like regular arrows. In particular, arrow of Splashing has no effect on fire and campfires and when shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, can light campfires and TNT just like regular arrows on fire.

==== Uncraftable tipped arrows ====

{{IN|java}}, the uncraftable tipped arrow is a tipped arrow with no effect that is unobtainable in regular gameplay. It is available in two variants that don't stack together:

* {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow{Potion:"minecraft:empty"} }} - arrow assigned an effect placeholder "empty" 
* {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow }} - arrow not assigned any effect.

The uncraftable arrow doesn't differ from regular arrows in behavior when used as a projectile.

=== Spectral arrows ===
{{exclusive|java}}
A spectral arrow confers the [[Glowing]] status effect for 10 seconds. The Glowing effect creates an outline of the target, which is visible through blocks, and colored based on the target's [[team]] (white by default). Even if a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], spectral arrows are still consumed. Spectral arrows can be acquired through [[bartering]] or crafted by combining 4 [[Glowstone Dust#Crafting ingredient|glowstone dust]] with one arrow, yielding 2 spectral arrows.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* By default, arrows fly slightly offset to the right. If the player stands close to a wall and fires several arrows without moving the crosshair, the arrows cluster around a point slightly to the right of the crosshair. If the player switches their main hand to be the left hand in options, the arrows instead cluster to the left.
* Arrows fired at [[Nether Portal]]s often skip through the portal block completely and fail to collide, thus continuing through to the opposite side of the block.
* Arrows stuck in blocks vibrate upon a world reload.<ref>{{bug|MC-93992}} – "Arrow shakes when world loads" resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref>
* Although [[enderman|endermen]] teleport when hit by any tipped arrow, they are still given the said effects while avoiding arrow damage.
* {{IN|bedrock}}, even if a tipped arrow is blocked with a shield, while the direct damage from the arrows is negated, the player still gets the effect from the tipped arrow.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>

An '''egg''' is an [[item]] that can be used to craft [[food]] items, or thrown for a chance to spawn [[chick]]s on impact.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Egg farming}}
A [[chicken]] drops an egg item every 5–10 minutes. The theoretical average would be expected at 1 egg every 7.5 minutes, or 0.1333 eggs per minute.

A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding an egg, which it always drops upon death. Alternatively, a player dropping a food item causes the fox to drop the egg.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|egg}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Combat ===
Players are able to throw eggs and deal knockback to [[mob]]s (but not other players{{only|JE|short=1}}<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>{{until|JE Combat Tests}}), but no damage is dealt, similar to a [[snowball]]. Likewise, throwing eggs at [[neutral mobs]] provokes them. Eggs can also be fired from [[dispenser]]s and are affected by gravity.

=== Spawning chickens ===
When thrown by a dispenser or by pressing the {{control|use}} button, an egg has a {{fraction|1|8}} (12.5%) chance of spawning a [[chick]]. If this occurs, there is a {{fraction|1|32}} (3.125%) chance of spawning three additional chicks (on average, 1 out of every 256 eggs spawns 4 chicks). In other words, whenever an egg is thrown, there is a {{fraction|31|256}} chance of spawning 1 chick and a {{fraction|1|256}} chance of spawning four chicks.

The expected value of the number of chicks an egg produces is {{fraction|35|256}} or 13.7%. This means that on average, a chick is spawned every 7.3 eggs, a stack of 16 eggs spawns 2.188 chicks, and a full inventory including the hotbar and off-hand (<code>37 * 16 = 592</code> eggs) is expected to spawn approximately 81 chicks.

== Sounds ==

Thrown eggs use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

== Trivia ==
* Eggs break mid-fall if hit by another projectile; the chance of spawning a chick is not affected.
* Throwing an egg at a [[nether portal]] breaks the egg when it hits the portal.
* A thrown egg faces toward the [[player]] in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontally in third-person view. This is the case for all throwable [[item]]s ([[ender pearl]]s, eggs, [[snowball]]s, and all throwable [[potion]]s).

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting
|head=1
|showdescription=1
|Name Tag
|Name, 16; Tag, 16
|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.

Trivia

  • When a chicken is killed and has a boost from the hit or is thrown over a cliff by the hit, the "corpse" will also fall more slowly than normal, and the wings will still make a flapping animation.
  • When a chicken is riding a minecart, it is impossible to attack the chicken rather than the cart as it is completely within the hitbox of the cart.
  • Chickens are the only Overworld mob (without the use of hacks/inventory editors) that can be spawned in the Nether in Survival mode, by hatching them from throwing chicken eggs.
  • Chickens are sometimes mistaken for ducks due to their wide beaks and ability to swim.
    • Probably inspired by this, Notch tweeted that he changed the chickens to ducks a few weeks before the end of Beta,[2] causing a turmoil on Twitter. A few days later, Jeb, still getting feedback on the idea, stated that it was just a joke.[3]
  • If you throw chicken eggs at glass panes, there is a small chance that the Chicken will spawn on the other side of the panes, also with iron bars.
  • Despite being an animal that does not give live birth, chickens in-game are able to give live birth.
  • Chicks can be lured by wheat.
  • There is no texture for the underside of a chicken's head, allowing you to see through it and see the inside.
  • Ocelots will attack chickens.
  • Studies show that chickens are the quickest at getting out of traps or structures when there is an opening, also with iron bars. [citation needed]
  • Chickens may lay eggs while dying. [citation needed]
  • Chickens seem to be drawn to cauldrons, though this is not proven programming. [citation needed]

Notes

  1. Many players find the noise generated by any form of chicken farm annoying, so it may be desirable to build chicken farms at least sixteen blocks away from frequently-used areas.
