About this Mod

Chicken Coop Logo

A mod that adds a chicken coop to cut down on entities. Originally for a private server, but I've decided to clean it up and release it.

To Craft:

Spoiler

Crafting recipe for the chicken coop; Three fences, one in top-center, one in middle-left, and one on the middle-right. A haybale in the center, and a slab on the bottom center.

Usage:

Right click a chicken with a coop to put it into the coop. Put the block into your offhand to prevent placing it accidentally. Maximum 128 chickens per coop.

Be careful not to break it when it has chickens inside without Silk Touch, as they will all burst out!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicken Coop server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Chicken Coop compatible with fabric and forge?

Chicken Coop officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Chicken Coop – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Chicken Coop 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.
