Each baby zombie, baby zombie villager, baby husk, baby drowned or baby zombified piglin that spawns naturally has a 5% chance to check for an existing [[Minecraft:chicken]] within an approximately 10×6×10 (L*H*W) box centered on the baby's spawn location and spawn riding one of those chickens if there are any.

Although chickens take damage from standing on [[Minecraft:magma block]]s, zombified piglin chicken jockeys still spawn on them, killing the chicken and leaving just the baby zombified piglin.

Template:For Template:Needs render Template:Infobox entity A chicken jockey is the rare appearance of a baby Minecraft:zombie, baby Minecraft:husk, Minecraft:gurgle, or baby Minecraft:frostbiteTemplate:Upcoming (or baby Minecraft:zombie villager or baby Minecraft:zombified piglin Template:In<ref>Not Template:In due to Template:Bug and Template:Bug.</ref>) riding a Minecraft:chicken. Template:IN, baby zombies and certain variants can also mount other common Minecraft:mobs.

Spawning

Template:IN, Minecraft:chicken jockeys spawn directly in the world, like all other jockeys. Template:IN, baby zombies and certain variants do not spawn directly but instead mount other nearby mobs.

Direct spawning

Template:Exclusive Each baby zombie, baby zombie villager, baby husk, gurgle, baby frostbiteTemplate:Upcoming or baby zombified piglin that spawns naturally, from a monster or Minecraft:trial spawner, or as a Minecraft:reinforcement has a 5% chance to check for an existing Minecraft:chicken within an approximately 10×6×10 (L*H*W) box centered on the baby's spawn location and spawn riding one of those chickens if there are any. If it fails that 5% chance, there is an additional 5% chance of the baby spawning mounted on a new adult chicken.

Therefore, in a chicken-free environment, each baby zombie has a 4.75% chance of spawning directly as a chicken jockey. If chickens are present, this chance increases to 9.75%.

Taking into consideration the fact that each type of zombie has a 5% chance of spawning as a baby, each spawned zombie has a 0.2375% chance of directly spawning as a chicken jockey in a chicken-free environment. If chickens are present, the chance increases to 0.4875%.

Chickens that are mounted by zombies despawn naturally, cannot lay eggs, and drop Template:Xp experience instead of the usual Template:Xp. If a jockey spawns riding a new chicken, the variant of the chicken depends on the biome it spawns in. If a jockey spawns riding an existing chicken, the chicken keeps its NBT data (variant, health, custom name, age, etc), but its IsChickenJockey tag is set to 1.

Chicken jockey riders can sometimes (or always in the case of zombified piglins) spawn with equipment depending on the type of rider. Zombie, zombie villager and husk chicken jockeys may spawn holding an Minecraft:iron sword, Minecraft:iron spear, or Minecraft:iron shovel, and wearing Minecraft:armor. Drowned chicken jockeys may spawn holding a Minecraft:trident or Minecraft:fishing rod in their main hand and a Minecraft:nautilus shell in their offhand. Frostbite chicken jockeys may spawn holding an Minecraft:ice ballTemplate:Upcoming. Zombified piglin chicken jockeys always spawn holding a Minecraft:golden sword or Minecraft:golden spear.

Although chickens take damage from standing on Minecraft:magma blocks, zombified piglin chicken jockeys still spawn on them, killing the chicken and leaving just the baby zombified piglin.

Zombified piglin chicken jockeys do not become hostile if the chicken is attacked or killed.

Due to the biomes the riders spawn in, husk and zombified piglin chicken jockeys can only spawn with a warm chicken, unless they spawn riding an existing chicken. If a zombified piglin chicken jockey spawns from a Nether portal block, the variant of the chicken depends on the biome the portal block is located in.

Mounting

Template:Exclusive Template:IN, 15% of naturally spawned baby zombies, baby husks, gurgles, and baby frostbites can mount other mobs when spawned. This includes baby zombies summoned by Minecraft:monster spawners and Minecraft:spawn eggs.

The following mobs can be mounted:

Template:Columns-list

Due to a bug, baby zombified piglins jockeys don't spawn properly.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Cd - This is because of a Minecraft:spawn event not existing in the Template:Cd field in the zombified piglin's Template:Cd Minecraft:JSON file.</ref>

Due to another bug, baby zombie villagers can no longer mount mobs as jockeys.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Summoning

Minecraft:Spawn eggs cannot spawn a chicken jockey or baby zombie rider, but Minecraft:monster spawners and Minecraft:trial spawners can.

Template:IN, chicken jockeys can be summoned directly with Template:Cmd by setting the IsChickenJockey boolean flag to 1 (true):

Template:Cmd

Template:IN, summoning a baby zombie rider requires the following command:

Template:Cmd

It can then be forced to form a jockey with the following command:

Template:Cmd (or any mountable mob)

In both editions, zombie can be replaced by any zombie variant.

Drops

The baby Minecraft:zombie (or variant) and the ridden mob each drop the same items they normally would. In addition to this, if the baby zombie or baby huskTemplate:Only<ref name=":0">Template:Bug</ref> rider is killed by a Minecraft:player or tamed Minecraft:wolf while riding a Minecraft:chicken, it also drops the Lava Chicken music disc. Note that the rider must be a baby Minecraft:zombie, not a baby Minecraft:zombie villager, baby Minecraft:huskTemplate:Only, gurgle, baby Minecraft:frostbiteTemplate:Upcoming, or baby Minecraft:zombified piglin, and it must be riding a chicken.

Behavior

Template:Main The jockey’s behavior is controlled by the rider.

  • Chicken jockeys fall slowly and do not take fall damage, like normal chickens.
  • The ridden mob can run through 1 block high gaps if its Minecraft:hitbox allows it. The rider suffocates unless the above block is transparent.
  • The rider can pick up/equip items if capable.
  • Chickens (unless spawned with commands without the Template:Cd tag) do not lay Minecraft:eggs.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> However, they can still Minecraft:breed with other chickens, and the offspring do lay eggs. Template:IN, if a baby zombie or a variant mounts a normal chicken, the chicken stops laying eggs. If the rider is killed, the chicken starts laying eggs again.
  • Zombie riders (both the riders and ridden mobs<ref>Template:Bug</ref>) Minecraft:despawn like regular hostile mobs.
  • Template:IN, the chicken acts like a regular Minecraft:passive mob again if the rider is killed, but still does not lay eggs and may despawn.
  • Only the ridden mob needs a Minecraft:name tag to prevent both the ridden mob and rider from despawning.
  • Curing a Minecraft:zombie villager jockey:
    • Template:IN: turns it into a villager chicken jockey. The baby villager continues to ride the chicken if it grows up<ref>Template:Bug</ref> or turns into a Minecraft:witch.
