🐔 Creating a chicken coop with an automatic egg collector in Minecraft is one of the easiest and most useful farms you can build in the game. With just a few blocks and items, you can automate egg collection and enjoy a steady supply of eggs for food, trading, or hatching more chickens!

✅ What You’ll Need
Here’s what you need to gather before building:
| Item | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Chest | 1 | Stores the collected eggs |
| Hopper | 3+ | Transfers items to the chest |
| Glass blocks | 10+ | Builds the chicken enclosure |
| Carpet (optional) | 1 | Easy entry on top of glass |
| Chickens | 5+ | Egg producers |
| Seeds | Any | Lure or breed chickens |
🧱 Step-by-Step: Build the Egg Farm
1. Place the Chest
Choose a spot and place a chest where you want all the eggs to be stored.
2. Attach Hoppers
Crouch and place hoppers connecting into the chest. This will collect the eggs laid on top. You can extend the hopper line if needed.
3. Build the Chicken Pen
Surround the hoppers with glass blocks or any solid block, making a 2-block high wall to keep chickens from jumping out.
4. Add Chickens
Use seeds to lure chickens into the pen, or throw eggs to spawn some. Aim for at least 5-10 chickens for good egg production.
5. Optional: Add Carpet
Place a carpet on top of a block next to the wall to let you jump in and out easily.
🥚 How It Works
Once inside the pen, chickens will lay eggs. These eggs drop onto the hoppers, which automatically send them into the chest. You don’t have to do anything manually — just open the chest and collect stacks of eggs!
🔁 Tips for Efficiency
- More Chickens = More Eggs: Breed your chickens with seeds regularly.
- Avoid Cramping: Too many chickens in one block can trigger Minecraft’s cramming rules. Spread them out or make multiple pens.
- Keep It Loaded: Build the coop near your base or use chunk loaders to keep it working.

🧠 Final Thoughts
An automatic chicken coop with egg collection is one of the best starter farms in Minecraft. It’s easy to make, helps with early-game resources, and scales well as you grow your base.
If you’re running this on a server, it’s even more efficient — especially with always-on uptime!
