Emberfrost Guardian Chicken

Quickstart

1. Find one in the Overworld, or, in Creative mode, select its spawn egg from the Spawn Eggs tab and use it on the ground.
2. Hold an apple, golden apple, or enchanted golden apple and interact with an untamed chicken. Each attempt consumes one apple outside Creative mode and has a 1-in-3 chance to tame it, so you may need to try more than once.
3. Once tamed, interact with it using an empty hand to switch between sitting and following you.
4. Take it along on an adventure: it follows when standing and joins fights to protect you.

Overview

The Emberfrost Guardian Chicken is a fire-and-frost-themed chicken companion. Tame one with apples, then let it follow you and help in combat.

What It Adds

• The Emberfrost Guardian Chicken, which can spawn naturally in the Overworld, usually in groups of 1–6.
• A matching spawn egg, available in Creative mode.

Crafting And Obtaining

There is no crafting recipe for the chicken or its spawn egg. Look for the chicken in the Overworld, or use its spawn egg in Creative mode.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Taming accepts regular, golden, and enchanted golden apples. Each feeding attempt uses one apple unless you are in Creative mode.
• A newly tamed chicken sits. Its owner can interact with an empty hand to make it stand and follow, or interact again to make it sit.
• When tamed and standing, it follows its owner and can join the owner's fights. It targets living entities the owner attacks or that attack the owner, but avoids the owner and their teammates.
• It has 20 health and deals 4 damage with a successful attack. Its attacks set the target on fire for 1 second and inflict Slowness for 1.5 seconds.

Progression And Strategy

Taming takes patience: bring several apples and keep trying until the chicken accepts one. Let it sit somewhere safe when you want it to stay put; make it stand again when you want a bodyguard on the move.
