How to find cold and warm chicken in Minecraft

The latest Minecraft Spring to Life game drop introduces two new variants of the chicken, one of the oldest and most popular mobs in the game. These new variants add much-needed diversity to the existing style, allowing players to encounter new styles as they travel from one biome to another. Apart from this, the update also introduces new features for obtaining these variants.

Here's how you can locate the cold and warm chicken in Minecraft and spawn these variants.

As the name suggests, you can locate the cold chicken in the colder regions of your Minecraft world. It essentially refers to specific biomes with snow and ice, as well as regions that are marginally elevated. The spawning of this variant is similar to the cold cows and pigs that were introduced recently.

Here are all the biomes where you can get your hands on the cold chicken:

Cold Ocean
Deep Cold Ocean
Deep Dark
Deep Frozen Ocean
End Barrens
End Highlands
End Midlands
Frozen Ocean
Frozen Peaks
Frozen River
Grove
Ice Spikes
Jagged Peaks
Old Growth Pine Taiga
Old Growth Spruce Taiga
Small End Islands
Snowy Beach
Snowy Plains
Snowy Slopes
Snowy Taiga
Stony Peaks
Taiga
The End
Windswept Forest
Windswept Gravelly Hills
Windswept Hills

Head to these biomes and look for the new variant, which can be easily spotted due to its dark grey/blue tint that stands out from the surroundings. Similar to the regular mob, the cold chicken drops feathers and raw chicken alongside 1-3 XP orbs when eliminated by the player or a wolf.

The warm chicken can be found in hot and warm locations on your Minecraft map. Simply head over to areas like deserts, plateaus, and biomes with higher temperatures compared to temperate biomes to spot this new variant.

Here are all the biomes where you can find the warm chicken:

Badlands
Bamboo Jungle
Basalt Deltas
Crimson Forest
Deep Lukewarm Ocean
Desert
Eroded Badlands
Jungle
Lukewarm Ocean
Mangrove Swamp
Nether Wastes
Savanna
Savanna Plateau
Soul Sand Valley
Sparse Jungle
Warm Ocean
Warped Forest
Windswept Savanna
Wooded Badlands

You can easily locate this warm variant owing to its yellowish-orange hue, which is marginally different from the temperate (regular) version. Just like the cold chicken, this variant will also drop feathers and raw chicken alongside 1-3 XP orbs when eliminated by the player or a tamed wolf.

How to spawn the cold and warm chicken in Minecraft

Eggs are one of the easiest ways in which players can spawn chickens in the game — be it to expand your farm or distract the warden when braving the ancient city. Keeping that in mind, the Minecraft Spring to Life game drop introduces two variants, the blue and brown eggs. These variants will spawn the warm and cold chicken, respectively.

These eggs are a great way to spawn a specific variant of the chicken if you do not wish to return to a biome to get more. However, these eggs are variant-specific and can be obtained from their parent type only. Meanwhile, the regular (temperate) chicken will hatch the regular (white) eggs.

Similar to the new variants of the cows and the pigs, the variant of a chicken is determined by where it spawns. Additionally, existing eggs in all biomes can hatch a temperate (regular) variant of the mob. These new styles enhance the title's visual experience and add diversity to the appearances of common mobs while exploring different biomes in the game.
