:huh: perhaps a redesign, if your coordinates are within the nether, the bed doesnt set a spawn point, if they are outside the nether, they set a spawn point. pretty simple im guessing
What exactly do you people need so many chickens for? This is at least the fourth chicken farm I've heard of, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the lack of other passive mobs around the server is at least partially due to so many "spawn slots" being taken up with chickens...A few screenies:
Elmerfudddied finished his underlava house:
Our pit so far (actually slightly out of date):
And our indoor chicken farm (we also have an outdoor one with about half as many chickens so far):
Hielor: is this too many chickens? I don't want to overwork the server.

That's a possibility, though it may also have to do with animals now being persistent, and having been killed off in many area.
What do you need so many arrows for? Each feather makes four arrows, so each chicken is good for 4-8 arrows...and it only takes 3 arrows to kill something now if you let the bow draw all the way back.As far as the number of chickens on our farm, I at least was going for a population that could support a fairly high kill rate (since a larger population will replace a given number of kills faster), in order to get a good supply of feathers for arrows. Then I realized that we might have a bit too many, thus asking here.
DoneYou can also add me, same nick as here.

Are you spelunking around in the dark and running into so many hostile mobs? Are you running a mob grinder with manual arrow-shooting as the kill method?
Sorry if that sounds a bit abrasive, and I'm not targetting you personally--I just don't see the need for so many chickens. Personally, I get enough feathers for arrows from zombies that I kill...

I guess I've been getting all of my arrows from skeletons, and haven't actually had to make any.Ugh... I keep forgetting about those multipliers.
They still drop feathers? I thought all they dropped now was rotten meat... (And the Wiki seems to back that up).
Anyways, I just cut the indoor flock down to 10 birds or so and eliminated the outdoor flock.
