About this project

What does Exploding Chickens add?

💥 Exploding Chickens

Every egg is a live grenade. Exploding Chickens gives your chickens a 30% chance to spawn TNT every time they lay an egg and they're immune to explosions, so nothing stops the madness, including their own blasts.

Flip a switch and turn single-egg TNT drops into a full 631-TNT Orbital Strike a ring-pattern carpet bomb raining down from above. Perfect for chaos servers, minigames, or just watching your coop become a warzone.

✨ Features

  • 🥚 Explosive egg-laying — 30% chance per egg (~50s cooldown) to spawn TNT
  • 🐔 Blast-proof chickens — immune to all explosions, including their own
  • ☄️ Orbital Strike mode — swap single TNT for a 631-TNT ring pattern dropped from above
  • 🧩 Broad compatibility — supports Minecraft 1.16.1 through 1.21.1

⌨️ Commands

No permissions required — anyone can toggle it in-game:

Command Effect
/explodingchickens pattern Toggle Orbital Strike mode ON/OFF (single TNT ↔ 631-TNT ring)
/explodingchickens info Show current mode, spawn chance, and pattern size

When Orbital Strike mode is ON, every egg-lay triggers the full ring pattern instead of a single TNT.
