About this Mod

CHIC adds a utility mob to the game: the Super Chicken. It is a lag-friendly, highly configurable resource generator designed to duplicate blocks and items without complex machinery.

Overal

Getting Started

To get started, simply right-click a vanilla Chicken with a Golden Apple. The chicken will transform into a Super Chicken. By default, it will drop an item corresponding to the block it is standing on.

Stand on Log -> Drops Log
Stand on Diamond Ore -> Drops Diamond

Upgrades & Mechanics

The chicken is fully upgradable. Right-click the entity with the following items to improve its stats.

Core Stats

Redstone (Speed): Reduces the time between drops. Can be stacked to make drops nearly instant.
Lapis Lazuli (Yield): Increases the number of items dropped per cycle.
Diamond (Memory Lock): Locks the chicken to the current block it is standing on. Once locked, you can move the chicken anywhere, and it will keep producing the original block.

Automation & Utility

Hopper (Auto Export): Requires Memory Lock. The chicken will automatically push items into adjacent inventories (Chests, Barrels, etc.) instead of dropping them on the ground.

Hopper (Auto Export)

Wool (Mute): Silences the sound effects.

Advanced Features

Slime Ball (Silk Touch): Forces the chicken to drop the block itself.

Silk Touch

Nether Star (Data Capture): Allows the chicken to copy TileEntity data. Useful for duplicating Shulker Boxes while keeping their contents.

Mod Support

Jade / Waila: Looking at a chicken shows exactly what it is mining, its tier, speed, and lock status.

Jade Support

JEI: Full support for viewing upgrade recipes and mechanics.

You can view all available upgrades in-game using JEI

Tags: All upgrade items use Item Tags, meaning modpack developers can easily change "Redstone" to any other item via Data Packs.

Configuration

Everything is configurable. You can adjust the max speed, drop caps, and global tick rates in the chic-common.toml config file to balance the mod for your specific modpack.

This is Beta 0.1. We are actively asking for feedback!

Frequently Asked Questions

CHIC server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is CHIC compatible with neoforge?

CHIC officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with CHIC – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CHIC consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
