Description

Chicken Hat is a vanilla+ mod. It adds several new things:

Dyed Chickens

  • Dyed chickens spawn naturally where chickens do, and with the same frequency as chickens.
  • Naturally spawning dyed chickens as well as dyed chickens from a spawn egg are given either a light or a dark variant of one of the 16 dye colors.
  • Dyed chickens will lay eggs that will hatch into more dyed chickens of the same color.
  • Breeding dyed chickens will produce a chick with the average color of the two parents.

Winged Caps

  • Winged caps are crafted with a leather cap and a feather in a smithing table, and preserve their color.
  • Winged caps offer no armor protection, but instead, by using one on a dyed chicken, the cap gets equipped and the chicken starts riding on the player's head.

Dyed Chicken-Based Flight

  • By having a dyed chicken ride on the player's head, the player falls at the same speed as a chicken would, and has no fall damage.
  • Note: this effect is deactivated while sneaking, and while flying with an elytra.
  • The dyed chicken is also not immune to damage such as suffocation damage, and when the chicken dies, the player fill plummet to the ground.

Winged Caps on Non-Player Entities

  • If a winged cap is equipped on a non-player entity, it renders a visual-only dyed chicken of the same color as the cap, and the same age as the entity wearing the cap.
  • These dyed chickens will have easter egg effects applied to them as if the name of the cap was their nametag.

Easter Eggs

Did you really think I would spoil that?

Dependencies

This mod requires Mantle.

Potential Future Expansion

  • Make all entities that dyed chickens ride on fall slowly.
  • Add feather cushions to create blocks that can be dyed in as wide a range of colors as dyed chickens can.
  • More easter eggs
