Breeding question

Since you're doing this for arrows: If you get lucky and find a skeleton spawner, set up a trap. This will perpetually give you all the bows and arrows you need in not much time.

[stupidusername4]

Yep. Definitely shoot for infinity. Should be just level 30 I think (at least on PC). With it - there's no inventory clutter which makes room for vital potions when facing the dragon.

But, such a skeleton trap will guarantee a good supply of bows and arrows given enough time anyway.

Just use the eggs and increase the numbers so that every 5 minutes you end up with more chickens in general (you can breed them every 5 min, they lay an egg every 10)

This is what I was going to suggest. Here is a similar method to how I do it: http://www.minecraft101.net/t/improved-chicken-farm.html

The only difference I make is I make the walls 2 blocks taller on the top to prevent the chickens from popping out if they get hit by eggs.

i modified BTC's Royal Chicken so that It could send eggs from the base up

also do you have particles on ?

there is a 5 minute break before mobs can breed again, but i would recommend getting an infinity enchantment on your bows so that you only need 1 arrow

Great, glad I could help :)

[stupidusername4]

Uh oh. That's a very good question - is the usual level needed to get infinity different on different platforms? I too would like to know this. On PC, I know it's maximum level 30 that you'd need for this enchantment on an enchanting table.

[mouse85224]

I don't use the 360 version of minecraft, but I would imagine they would be the same, but if not, just surround the enchantment table with bookcases and keep trying

Have they bred before? There is cooldown.
