Administrator Updated on January 3, 2023 If you love playing minecraft for hours and hours, then you might be interested in something that is more than just a house. After all, what use is a house if you can't put your stuff in it. How about some chickens? Chickens are quiet and yet very useful if you have a lot of space to have them running around in your farm. Having chickens would make it great for farming when you need to collect eggs or feathers.
In November 2011, a video game called Minecraft was officially released to the public. It was developed by Marcus Persson in a Java program and was released as an Alpha test to the public in 2009. Since its official release in 2011, Jens Bergensten took over the game's development.
As of today, Minecraft is hailed as the "best-selling video game", with two hundred million purchases and over 120 million users active monthly. Digging, mining, crafting, and enchanting are some of the things you can do in Minecraft. This is described as a "sandbox game" due to its player’s ability to build their worlds and do things with endless possibilities.
Just like any other game, players also encounter problems in playing Minecraft. Some of its players find it hard to make a chicken farm. The following are the ways to build a chicken farm in Minecraft:
Preparation
Things required:
- Building blocks or Cobblestones
- Four pieces of glasses
- Three pieces of carpets
- One bucket of lava
- One piece of chest
- One piece of the dispenser
- Four pieces of hoppers
- Redstone Comparator
- Six pieces of red stones
- Two pieces of Redstone repeaters
- A land area with the size: Height - five blocks, Width - three blocks and Depth - six blocks.
First Layer
At the front of the land area, place the chest in the middle, and place the hopper behind it. Afterwhich, use the building blocks to fill the remaining spaces of the layer.
Second Layer
Place one glass box over the chest. Put a half slab behind the glass box, and put a dispenser at the front of the half slab. Fill the remaining spaces around these blocks.
Behind this layer, place a repeater in front of the block that is located on the left of the dispenser. Put two pieces of Redstone dust at the back of that repeater.
After this, put a powered comparator at the front of the dispenser, and put a repeater at the front of this comparator. With the use of Redstone specks of dust, fill the leftover spaces of that layer.
Third Layer
Place a glass box at the top of the glass you put in the second layer. Behind it, place a hopper that is fed into a dispenser, and behind it put two more hoppers. To the sides and backs of the glass and the hoppers, place building blocks. After this, put lava at the top of the half slab.
Fourth Layer
Place a glass box above the lava, and another in front of it. Then, place carpets on the hoppers. Using the building blocks, fill the remaining spaces.
Fifth Layer
The fifth and final layer must be filled with building blocks. In filling up the machine, shatter a building block above the hoppers, and toss eggs to the area for the chicken to hatch.
Summary: Make a Chicken Farm in Minecraft
- Make the platform 13x13 with a 3 block hole in the ground.
- Fill the hole with water.
- Put fences around the hole and connect them to a block of wool or other non-slip flooring.
- Breed chickens by feeding 2 of them seeds.
- Throw the chicken into the water.
- Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you have as many chickens as you want.
Conclusion
The best position of the farm should be around the house, but it should not be very close to avoid noise. As stated above, building things in Minecraft is full of possibilities, so you can customize your farm any way you like it.
