# RealisticChicken<\/p>\n
**RealisticChicken** makes chicken breeding more realistic by replacing instant baby spawning with egg laying.<\/p>\n
In vanilla Minecraft, chickens automatically lay eggs and breeding immediately creates chicks. This plugin changes that behavior to simulate a more natural and realistic reproduction system.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
* ~~Chickens no longer lay eggs automatically over time~~ \u2014 Automatic eggs are converted to infertile eggs
\n* Breeding chickens will lay eggs instead of instantly spawning chicks
\n* Each breeding produces **1\u20133 eggs randomly**
\n* Breeding still gives **vanilla-equivalent experience (1\u20137 XP)**
\n* Chickens enter the same **5-minute cooldown** as vanilla breeding
\n* Supports multiple languages \u2014 English and Japanese supported for egg descriptions
\n* The language can be set in the plugin config<\/p>\n
## Egg Types<\/p>\n
* **Fertilized Egg (\u6709\u7cbe\u5375)** \u2014 Can hatch into a chick when thrown
\n* **Infertile Egg (\u7121\u7cbe\u5375)** \u2014 Will not hatch, produced automatically by chickens over time<\/p>\n
## How it works<\/p>\n
Vanilla:<\/p>\n
* Feed seeds \u2192 Chick appears instantly
\n* Eggs are laid automatically over time.<\/p>\n
RealisticChicken:<\/p>\n
* Feed seeds \u2192 Eggs are laid
\n* Throw the eggs to hatch chicks (fertilized eggs only)<\/p>\n
This creates a more immersive and realistic farming experience.<\/p>\n
## Compatibility<\/p>\n
* Supports **Paper, Purpur, Spigot, and Bukkit**
\n* Supports **Minecraft 1.21.x**
\n* Requires **Java 21 or newer**
\n* No dependencies required<\/p>\n
## Performance<\/p>\n
RealisticChicken uses only two lightweight event listeners and does not run any repeating tasks.
\nIt is safe for servers of any size and has negligible performance impact.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
1. Download the plugin JAR
\n2. Place it in your server’s `\/plugins\/` folder
\n3. Restart the server
\n4. Done<\/p>\n
## Perfect for<\/p>\n
* Survival servers
\n* Realism-focused servers
\n* Farming and economy servers
\n* Vanilla+ gameplay enhancement<\/p>\n
