Classification

A chicken jockey tower is a rare hostile mob that can be found within various missions of Minecraft Dungeons.

Appearance

Chicken jockey towers are composed of a chicken jockey with six baby zombies balanced upon each other, with five of them sitting, and the top one balancing standing upright.

Spawning

Chicken jockey towers can also spawn when night falls, regardless of the mission, when at least one hero dies in multiplayer.

Behavior

The behavior of a chicken jockey tower is similar to a normal chicken jockey but is somewhat slower in speed due to the weight of the baby zombies. When the chicken gets hit, this causes the baby zombies to scatter and attack the hero at once.

Trivia

  • A chicken jockey tower can be somewhat replicated within the original Minecraft game via baby piglins, who can sometimes stack on top of a baby hoglin. However, using commands, it is possible to perfectly replicate the stack seen in Minecraft Dungeons.
