Why are my chickens blowing up?
Why are my chickens blowing up?
Okay, so it's been about a year and a half or so since the last time I've played, and I can see a lot has changed. One thing I can't figure out is why my chickens have suddenly started to blow up. Now since this started to happen right after I built a portal I'm assuming that's what's causing the problem here. I couldn't find anything really explaining this, so could someone elaborate what FlowerChild has done.

The nether portals graciously spread special effects to animals within a certain radius. The animals like it, I assure you.

Re: Why are my chickens blowing up?
Spoilers really, so I doubt many people will give you a direct answer.
I'll try and give you a vague answer, but if you want a direct one go here (WARNING: LOTS OF SPOILERS WILL FOLLOW. POSSIBLY ABOUT OTHER THINGS YOU HAVE YET TO DISCOVER. CLICK LINK AT YOUR OWN RISK!):
In as unspoiler a way as possible:
You are on the right lines in thinking about portals to hell being bad. For a full understanding, take a chicken into the nether. Then you will (eventually) get a proper understanding of what is going on. There is a simple way to prevent chickens from exploding. You should be able to work out how to without much of a hint from me, as it's fairly obvious, once you are aware of what the source of the problem is.
If you can't then here is a hint:
IF you really can't work it out, but want to avoid other aspects which are covered in the spoiler thread, here is a second hint:

You can walk away from the portal and you will find new, uncorrupted animals. What prevented them form being corrupted?

Saboteur chickens... The perfect gift for your neighbor who's been letting his dogs poop on your lawn... Of course you get to use the dung, but it's the principle!

It's questions like these that remind me why I love this mod so much. :)

Re: Why are my chickens blowing up?
Okay, so I ended up losing all of my chickens (and most of my pigs). So, just out of curiosity how far of a radius does the portal corruption go. I don't want to lose the next batch of chickens.

I'm not too sure what the portal radius is, but I've found that locking it up with any and every precaution available helps. I've currently got 3 levels of protection on my portal. It's working. I think. My chickens haven't asploded for a while.
Also to be cautious: Anything and everything nether related is dangerous. take care and stay strong.

Just keep it a few chunks from your base and animals.

Re: Why are my chickens blowing up?
It's actually a fairly short radius (about 30 blocks I think), and you don't have to take precautions against the portal. I'm almost certain distance is the only thing that matters, and I don't believe that line-of-sight changes anything. Nothing will come out of the portal, so you don't have to contain it at all. I only put it into the side of a mountain to prevents mobs from entering, and later to make a temple.

Re: Why are my chickens blowing up?
What do you mean by that? Animals only get infected by moving them near the portal. Don't do that, and you don't have any issues. Only locating your portal a sufficient distance from your animals and ensuring animals never go near it will have any effect. Any structures you build will do nothing besides blocking off access to the portal, which is good, but there is no need for any special security measures.

Yes, souls will travel from animal to animal on death, and wolves will transfer them while alive, if animals never go near the portal, then you never have to deal with the issues associated with that.
