Despawning Eggs Hatch

What it doesDespawning Eggs Hatch changes one small thing: when a chicken egg sits on the ground long enough to despawn, it can hatch into a chick instead of vanishing. By default this only happens if the egg is on top of a hay block, so wild chickens do not multiply unchecked in loaded chunks. The hatch chance, the maximum number of chickens allowed nearby, and the search radius for that limit are all configurable. You can also choose whether the new chicken spawns as a baby chick or a full-grown bird.## Who it's forPlayers who want a low-maintenance way to grow a chicken population without building a breeder or collecting eggs by hand. But it fits vanilla-style survival, modpacks that keep gameplay close to stock, and servers that need a gentle passive mob boost without entity-count explosions.## Main capabilities- Eggs hatch only on hay blocks unless you disable that rule.- Default entity limiter stops hatching once 50 chickens exist within a 32-block radius; both numbers are adjustable.- Hatch chance defaults to 100 percent but can be lowered to zero.- New chickens spawn as babies by default; toggle to spawn adults instead.- Works entirely server-side; clients do not need the mod installed.## Compatibility and requirementsSupported loaders: Fabric, Forge, Neoforge, Quilt. Supported Minecraft versions: 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The mod requires the server side; the client side is unsupported.
