This Minecraft tutorial explains how to summon a baby zombie riding a chicken with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

It is very rare to see a chicken with a baby zombie riding on its back, but you can summon one whenever you want using a cheat (game command) in Minecraft. This is done using the /summon command.

Let’s explore how to do this.

Requirements

To run game commands in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world.

Summon Command

Summon Command in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

To summon an entity (or mob) in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), you need to type the /summon command with the following syntax:

/summon <entity> [pos] [nbt]

Definitions

  • entity is the Minecraft entity value of the entity to summon. (See Minecraft Entities).
  • x y z is optional. It is the x y z coordinate where the entity should spawn. If no coordinate is specified, the entity will spawn in the current location.
  • nbt is optional. It is a compound NBT tag (formerly called data tag) that sets a property for the entity such as {SkeletonType:1}, {IsBaby:1} or {Owner:9Minecraft}. (See Minecraft Data Tags).

Examples

Example in Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20

How to Enter the Command

The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.

2. Type the Command

In this example, we are going to summon a baby zombie riding a chicken in Minecraft 1.20 with the following command:

/summon chicken ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:zombie,IsBaby:1}]}

Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.

Once the cheat has been entered, a baby zombie riding a chicken will spawn and appear in your world:

You will see the message “Summoned new Chicken” appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the baby zombie riding a chicken has been summoned. You may need to look behind you to see it.

TIP: A baby zombie can survive in the light. It will not burst into flames if you spawn the baby zombie on a chicken during the day.

Congratulations, you have summoned a baby zombie riding a chicken in Minecraft.
