Diamond chickens were rare joke variants of chickens present in the April Fool's Java Edition 2.0. They lay lapis lazuli and diamonds instead of eggs.

Spawn

Diamond chickens spawn under normal chicken spawning conditions, but only with a 7% chance.

Color

The diamond chicken's texture is identical to the regular chicken's, except the former is multiplied by the 31 DIAMOND color​ instead of the usual 16 COLOR color​ used for white wool and, consequently, the normal chicken color.

Behavior

As chickens were modified in 2.0 to display neutral behavior, diamond chickens are also neutral.

Diamond chickens lay diamonds and lapis lazuli instead of eggs. They also have a 5% chance to explode instead of laying an item.
