## Egg Hatcher<\/p>\n
Tired of manually throwing eggs or building massive redstone chicken farms? Egg Hatcher does the work for you!<\/p>\n
### What it does
\nThis data pack automatically hatches dropped eggs right before they disappear (after about 5 minutes). For an egg to hatch, it just needs to be sitting on a cozy block like Hay, Mud, or Mud Bricks. When it hatches, a baby chicken pops out, playing a crack sound with some particles.<\/p>\n
### Performance
\nThe pack checks how many chickens are nearby. If there are already too many in the area, the egg simply despawns instead of hatching.<\/p>\n
### Customization
\nYou can easily tweak settings using `\/function egg_hatcher:_config` to change:
\n– **Density Limit:** How many chickens are allowed in one area.
\n– **Density Range:** How far away it checks for other chickens.
\n– **Chance:** The percentage chance an egg will actually hatch.<\/p>\n
Edit the `#egg_hatcher:hatcher_blocks` **block tag** to change the valid blocks where an egg must be on top of to hatch.<\/p>\n
If you ever need to remove the datapack, use `\/function egg_hatcher:uninstall` to get rid of all scoreboards and data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
