Just have to ask

Hi there

I have an simple question

What is better, chicken that drops feather at an timed interval or have the shears "pluck" the chickens.

I am trying to make an mod, I don't need help. I just want to know what is preffered :-D

Dropping would be easier for us players but the shears is probably more balanced so I would go with that.

Good luck with the mod

• Allow players to pluck chickens by activating (right-clicking) them, and deal 0 or 1 damage to cause them to run around.
• Shedding chickens makes sense, but in practice you get item clutter which adds much unneeded stress from the item entities in the world.
• Shearing chickens doesn't make sense, but it's better balanced and less resource intensive than the above options. The downside is coding to render shaved chickens.
• Make chickens drop a randomly-sized item stack of feathers on death, rather than a chance to drop 1 feather. I've never seen a chicken with just one feather.

Rendering shaved chickens is not a problem, making them drop fether on interval is no problem..

I like the idea about right clicking the chicken and damagin them, sounds like a challenge.

I shall look into the random size feather drop..hmm

I should add some damaged feathers(new item) aswell. just for balance :-D
