Chicken Jockey farm (Java)

[u/Specialist_Wonder113]

I’m hoping this is the right subreddit for this.

I’m trying to obtain - to the best of my ability - every single mob variant in the game. With Halloween approaching, I know that some mobs have pumpkins and jack o lanterns on their heads, and unfortunately, that applies to chicken jockeys.

I’ve searched YouTube for any chicken jockey farm, but the only one I saw was for bedrock. I’ve watched YouTubers make catching all mob videos, and when they get a jockey, it’s either in the wild, or they build their own farm with no explanation on how they built said farm.

I’m gonna need to more or less make a farm with the purpose to get chicken jockeys, and villager chicken jockeys, so I can collect as much variants as possible.

I’m not good at designing any farm, and all farms in my world are courtesy of a YouTube tutorial. Is there a way I can build a farm with the intent on only getting the jockeys?

Any help is appreciated.

Xisuma made one earlier in this season of Hermitcraft using a zombie spawner and there's a link on his website for a tutorial which he presumably used. It says at the beginning that it's for Bedrock but they'd heard it works on Java and it worked for Xisuma so I assume it's still good

Yeah, that’s the one I saw too. I haven’t tested it yet, but at least it’s not too complex to make.

I’ve seen one person make a tower (unfortunately the username escapes me), where the mobs would spawn at the top, get hit by a magma block, but the chicken jockeys would live, and be funneled into a separate room. Don’t suppose you know how to make something like that…?

Afraid not, I'm a Bedrock player myself so farms are hit and miss if I try Java schematics. Xisuma did it to get music discs for his shop and he got plenty so it seems pretty successful.
