How to get blue and brown eggs in Minecraft

Mojang added two new chicken variants in Minecraft with a 1.21.5 game drop. These variants spawn in warm and cold biomes and have completely different textures compared to regular chicken. Along with the new variants, Mojang added two new kinds of eggs for each variant, which will be brown and blue.

Here is how you can get these new chicken eggs in Minecraft.

Note: The new chicken variants and their eggs are currently under development and have yet to be released in a stable version. Check the features out in snapshots and beta/preview versions in both Java and Bedrock Edition.

Steps to getting blue and brown chicken eggs in Minecraft

1) Find a cold or warm biome where new chicken variants will spawn

First, search for any warm and cold biome in which new chicken variants have a chance to spawn. Mojang has provided biomes in which both of these variants will spawn.

Warm chickens will spawn in

• Savanna
• Savanna Plateau
• Windswept Savanna
• Jungle
• Sparse Jungle
• Bamboo Jungle
• Eroded Badlands
• Wooded Badlands
• Badlands

Cold chickens will spawn in

• Old Growth Pine Taiga
• Old Growth Spruce Taiga
• Taiga
• Snowy Taiga
• Windswept Hills
• Windswept Gravelly Hills
• Windswept Forest

Hence, first explore the world to find one of these biomes so that you have a better chance of finding these new chickens.

2) Find new chickens and wait for them to lay an egg

After roaming around one of the cold or warm biomes, you might be able to spot one or a bunch of cold or warm chickens. The new variants' spawning mechanics are the same as the regular chicken, making them fairly common.

Once you've found a cold or a warm chicken, wait for them to lay an egg. A cold chicken will lay a blue egg, while a warm chicken will lay a brown one.

Chickens generally lay an egg every five to 10 minutes in real-time. On average, they can lay an egg every 7.5 minutes.

Once you obtain the eggs, they can be used to spawn more cold and warm chickens or can be used to make cake or pumpkin pie, like regular chicken eggs.
