Diamond Chicken

This article documents an April Fools' joke.

This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.
It is documented here on the wiki due to being officially-released content by Mojang Studios, even if not present in a final version.

Diamond chickens were a rare joke variant of chicken present in the April Fool's Java Edition 2.0 that lays Lapis Lazulis or Diamonds instead of eggs.

Spawn[]

Diamond chickens spawn under normal chicken spawning conditions, but only with 7% chance.

Behavior[]

As chickens were modified in 2.0 to display neutral behavior, diamond chickens are also neutral.

Diamond chickens lay diamonds and lapis lazuli instead of eggs like normal chickens. They also have a 5% chance to explode instead of laying an item.
