SQUAWK! No one in Minecraft would make the mistake of constructing their chicken coop (or sheep pen, or cow paddock) right outside their home more than once. The noise is, frankly, unbearable. At all hours of the day and night, you’ll endure endless squawks until it all becomes too much. So you grab your diamond sword and go on a rampage. When the dust settles, all the remains of your proud flock of chickens will be a stack or two of our item of the week – feathers.
Feathers were added during the 0.31 Indev phase of Minecraft’s development. They were originally dropped by every mob, and could only be used to make arrows. Shortly afterwards, they were patched to only drop from zombies, and then from chickens, but it was a while until zombies started dropping rotten flesh instead, and chickens became the only source of feathers.
Why did zombies ever drop feathers? Simply because the developers didn’t know what else they should drop! Perhaps someone tried to raise the dead at a pillow factory? I guess we’ll never know...
