Chickens Drop Eggs
Chickens drop eggs when killed. Who wants to wait around, anyway?
About this Mod
Chickens Drop Eggs is a minimalist data pack for Minecraft 1.21.4 that modifies the loot table for chickens. Every chicken now drops eggs upon death, in addition to its default loot. The change preserves all vanilla behavior, including raw or cooked meat based on burn status, feather count scaling with looting enchantment, and explosion decay logic. This pack is intended for use in lightweight modpacks or gameplay tweaks where egg acquisition needs to be more reliable without introducing broader mechanical changes.
