The Lava Chicken song, which spun off from a tune in A Minecraft Movie, is now in the game. If you're playing Minecraft’s Bedrock Edition, a fresh update just dropped, adding a rare music disc with the now-famous Lava Chicken song. The update also packs a bunch of bug fixes and some small tweaks to the game.
About the Lava chicken song
Java Edition players got to mess around with this music disc back in the 1.21.7 update in late June. Now, Bedrock Edition folks can jump in and give it a listen too.
A Minecraft Movie, which hit theaters in April, was a big hit. Its wild setting won over tons of fans and sparked a wave of memes that are still floating around online, staying super popular.
The Lava Chicken song comes from a tune Jack Black sang in a scene where Steve tries cooking chicken with lava. Just to clarify, Jack Black’s voice isn’t in the game’s version of the song. Instead, it’s got vocals from Minecraft’s Villager mob.
How to find the Lava Chicken song music disc
The in-game track is a chiptune take on the original, put together by Hyper Potions. Want to snag it? You’ll need to take down a Chicken Jockey in the game.
How to find chicken jockey
- Java Edition: 5% chance a baby zombie grabs a nearby chicken in a 10×6×10 area. If no chickens are around, a 0.25% chance to spawn one; with chickens, it’s about 0.4875%.
- Bedrock Edition: 15% chance a baby zombie jumps on a chicken (or other mobs like cows) when chasing players, villagers, or iron golems.
The zombie steers, speeding up the chicken and making it immune to fall damage. In Bedrock, zombies might pick other rides, so pure chicken jockeys are less common.
Chicken drops feathers and raw chicken; zombies drop rotten flesh and sometimes gear like golden swords or drowned tridents. These blew up in A Minecraft Movie (2025), with fans going nuts in theaters.
