Hermits React to Zed's Villager Riding a CHICKEN! 🐔(Extended)

[@JadedDaemon]

Doc may be able to break Hermits minds by breaking the very fundamentals of Minecraft but Zed. Zed, can break their minds by just being Zed and we love him for it.

[@ZeeZeeWee]

Zed after exploiting the code for the 10th time: teehee 😋

[@bsidethebox]

​@@ZeeZeeWee Grind Oddities Absurdly Teehee 😜

[@alechs]

zed's feats of minecraftery are much less practical but no less impressive

[@neeuqdrazil]

Doc breaks the game to break the game. Zed breaks the game for the sheer joy of the insanity.

[@Fyrefrye]

I'd love to see Doc and his tech friends trying to automate the spawning and sorting of chicken jockeys. I imagine they'd be able to get the rates up quite a bit if they automated the spawning of additional chickens when needed and rigged it up to a full efficient zombie/mob spawner. If they managed to get it to a reasonably AFK-able state this could be a fun new way to manage trading halls and villager transportation.

[@ZeeZeeWee]

love how Zed played it off so casually as if he didn’t spend 7 days waiting for that single villager to spawn

[@oilver3885]

I love that X doesn’t even question it. Just “Oh my god you’ve done it”

[@jaqsre]

“halt! who goes there? oh my god you’ve done it” it all sounds like some medieval castle roleplay

[@Shreerang8055]

Doc is overrated noob

[@LilChuunosuke]

Funny thing is about this bit is that when I saw it from Impulse's POV first, I didn't fully process just how insane a villager on a chicken was because my brain just registered it as "typical Zed behavior."

[@CurtisD1986]

I first seen this in Imps vid too. Low key it blew my mind how he done it. Then I seen zeds vid and it seemed simple enough, until it wasnt.

[@bd_mayhem]

Yeah, after seeing impulse's video, I thought it must have been a wild zombie village jockey. Incredible odds, but possible. Finding out that it's farmable blew my mind.

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Wait this is actually genius!

[@beesbrownies]

OMG a need

[@AmandaJaneValkeriah]

This name is perfection!

[@abdullahemek2488]

We are at the point that a villager riding chicken is way more surprising than seeing an ender dragon in overworld.

[@Space_gremlin]

Yeah because the ended dragon is going to be there and it just takes pistons and time…….. This on the other hand takes luck and a sacrifice of your sanity

[@literaluniverse1274]

I mean you just have to forcibly push the dwagon bos with pistons again and again

[@abdullahemek2488]

But i mean like if you see an ender dragon, the last boss of the game, can destroy any block with just touching, flying over your base you will go "oh doc is doing something again" but 2 basic and harmless mobs on top of another is just blows your mind and leaves you speechless and i think its amazing and i thank zedaph to sacrifice so much time to show how cool it is

[@RunstarHomer]

@@Space_gremlin This only took time as well. "Luck" just means you have to wait until you get lucky

[@glissyvary2455]

Omg your right!

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

Idk, the situations seems too *fowl* to tell the truth…

[@doornumb]

Zed and Doc are similar in ways that they break the limits of the game Doc's more grandiose, efficient and urban Zed is more challenging, creative, and rural

[@43_primecraft]

Waiting for the season/arc in which they create dumbfounding chaos together and the other hermits have to stop them.

[@thinker-12]

You realise this means you failed to dangle all the mobs you could last season. There was no dangling villager

[@royalFiddle]

Not to be a semantics wizard or anything, that being said, it doesn't seem like the villager is the one being lead, rather it's the chicken the villager is on, and as leads supersede most natural pathfinding, the Villager is no longer able to pilot the chicken

[@JamieElli]

Arguably this will be a villager riding a dangling chicken.

[@ToppyTree]

I would guess only the chicken would be turned upside down too? More science required

[@nerdyspinosaurid]

I don't think regular chicken jockeys counted either, so

[@jwest6058]

Zedaph's response to Joel's reaction reminds me of the "What have you got there?" "A smoothie." meme.

I can’t wait for Zed to show Grian an easier way to get a mending book…

I wonder Zed you could hook him with a fishing rod and lead him to show Grian that way. Play in to "look what I've just fished up"

[@ErikErosa]

Look, the veteran hermits are sort of used to shenannigans…and they were awed. but can you imagine how surreal this must be for the new hermits? For SmallishBeans and Skizz? Damn this must be weird!

[@Joker-fj8hg]

Skizz is also familiar with Zed. It’s only Joel.

[@jwest6058]

Skizz is a part of the ZITS crew, Skizz is already pretty close friends with zed, but that said I don't doubt he was beyond surprised.

[@StarNanny]

So funny! On Impulse’s pov, the villager is sitting.😂 27:34 Etho’s deer-in-headlights moment was hilarious!

I plan to give that villager a second world tour when the world download is made available, so he can see all the builds that aren't up yet during your tour... I may or may not rename him to Grandfather Cluck...

[@BlahCraft1]

5:30 In mob sorters, to filter out a chicken jockey, drop all the mobs down a hole. Halfway down the hole, have flowing water held up by signs/open fence gates, flowing to a tube. If the hole is deep enough, all other mobs will fall so quickly that they won't be able to swim in the water, and will instead just have their fall damage reset. Because chickens glide down, they will get caught by the water, and can thus be sorted out in this way.

[@FakeAccount-vw9gi]

Good idea

[@EarlLeeByrd]

I think this is actually over complicated. Since the chicken jockey's are teleported to their "mounts" anyways, even through the floor, you can just have the chickens safe off the side while the main floor just drops everything that spawns on it down the hole and out of range. No need for a filter system at all since that happens naturally as they spawn.

[@BlahCraft1]

@EarlLeeByrd this design is intended for typical mob farms, to solve Xisuma's question.

[@mattanatior97studios]

How would you make a mob sorter

[@arlen7726]

Now I’m wondering if it’s possible to obtain a Witch riding a Chicken without killing the chicken in the process of the lightning strike…

[@Zebra_M]

Surely the lightning strike has a radius, meaning it's possible to hit only the rider...

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Zed needs to see this. ASAP!

[@jwest6058]

It would make such a funny bit. I wonder if the witch can hurt the chicken with poison. That would be so funny, all of that time and energy just for it to kill the chicken.

[@darkoaktree7691]

I can only imagine this being such a chore, but still such a fun project to do if Java baby zombies also had the vast roster of ridable mobs bedrock does. Like, imagine a villager on a wolf or a panda.

@@midnamagic2678 they don't spawn riding any, but if you kill the chicken, and a pig/sheep/cow/untamed wolf/untamed ocelot/panda/skeleton horse/some other mobs are nearby, the baby zombie will run towards that mob, ride it and then chase you.

[@midnamagic2678]

@@rudrodeepchatterjee ohhhh. Yeah, the baby zombies riding the adult zombies was always them running to the adult and getting a piggyback ride. I’ve never seen them spawn like that. I’m going to have to test that out. Do they jump on tamed wolves or just wild wolves?

I once had a baby zombie villager on a chicken on its way to my curing cage, only to be killed by a wandering golem. They do not show up often, that's for sure. But you can create a spawning area that you can refresh with a short rail trip to speed the process up.

I don’t know if anyone would know the answer. If Zed bred a ton of villagers and zombified the babies would they also have a chance to mount the chicken. Or is it only a naturally spawning villager zombie?

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

As per the wiki, the game checks for nearby chickens/spawns a chicken when SPAWNING a baby zombie(variant). I don't think conversions spawn new zombies, instead they just change the condition data of existing villagers to turn them(so that the villager's trade details are preserved). So no, converted villager babies will not turn to jockeys.
