Automatic Chicken Cooker with Egg Clock in Minecraft

Eight egg layers feed a comparator clock and a separate chick chamber. Adults touch a lava blade, while a stationary hopper minecart collects cooked chicken beneath the slab.

The upper hopper sends eggs into an east-facing dispenser. A subtract-mode comparator reads that dispenser, and two repeaters amplify and return its output to the side input, creating pulses while eggs remain. A separate repeater powers a solid block beside the dispenser. Chicks hatch onto a bottom slab above a hopper minecart. Their shorter bodies remain below the lava; growing adults intersect it and drop cooked chicken. The cart extracts drops through the slab and a lower hopper empties it into the chest. The egg parents remain in an isolated, enclosed upper pocket. This is an original arrangement of documented mechanisms, not an ingame-tested tutorial.

Build steps

1. Foundation and output storage: Build the stone base and circuit shelf. At (5,0,3), point the output hopper south into the chest at (5,0,4). Keep the south walkway clear.
2. Install the cart and egg-parent enclosure: Place the hopper minecart on the isolated north-south rail at (5,1,3). Build the upper glass pocket around the downward hopper at (4,3,3), then add exactly eight adult chickens.
3. Build the chick chamber: Place the bottom slab at (5,2,3) and its three glass side blocks. Close the east side of the future lava pocket at (6,3,3).
4. Wire the egg-triggered clock: Face the comparator west out of the dispenser and switch it to subtract mode. Set all three repeaters to two ticks. Place the dust loop, the south-facing feedback repeater at (3,2,2), and the separate output repeater at (4,2,1).
5. Add the contained lava blade: Place one lava source at (5,3,3), directly above the chick slab. Check that glass encloses its north, south, east and top faces and the parent hopper blocks its west face.
6. Seal the parent pocket: Fit the final glass cap and upper rim after all eight parents are inside. Keep the cooking chamber inaccessible to pets and other animals.
7. Check the first cooked chicken: Stay within simulation distance and allow chicks at least 20 minutes to mature. Collect cooked chicken and feathers from the south chest and empty it before storage backs up.
