Henhance

Henhance adds a chicken coop where your birds can roost, replacing the usual mess of free-range egg spam.

Chickens keep their default AI, but they no longer lay eggs randomly.

Instead, they contribute to the coop, which fills up over time, ready for you to harvest eggs and other surprises!

Features:

– A new way to keep and manage chickens in Minecraft. Build a chicken coop, let your birds settle in, and collect various resources over time.

– Foraging: Chickens will roam and forage on grass and ferns (and their tall versions).

– Drops: Coop block’s appearance will indicate when the resources are ready to be collected – simply right-click it with a shovel to get them out.

– Hiding: Chickens will also try and retreat back into the coop if attacked, to cover from rain and at night.

– Vanilla-friendly: Designed to fit seamlessly into vanilla gameplay.

If this mod gains interest, I might expand it into a series covering more Minecraft animals. 

Try it out, and let me know what you think! Feedback is always welcome.

Heads up! This is my first mod, and it’s still a work in progress—things might change, break, or get tweaked over time!

To-Do’s:

– Adding a rooster mob and it’s mechanics (only chicken+rooster breeding, guarding, crowing in the mornings)

– Coop upgrades (automation, night light, productivity)

Know incompatibilities:

– Silk touch won’t let you pick up the block with animals still inside (testing)

– Block pick-up tools like a Moving Wand from NotEnoughWands mod might mess with or even void your animals (on the to-do list)
