Feather

Trivia

• Zombies used to drop feathers before the Beta 1.8.2 update. However, before the 0.9.0 update, they still dropped feathers in Pocket Edition after they died, occasionally. Zombies stopped dropping feathers after 0.11.0 with the introduction of Rotten Flesh, and as of the 0.12.1 update, Zombies also drop armor along with rotten flesh.

History

Indev
Feb. 19, 2010					Added feathers. They can be used to craft arrows.
					They dropped from zombies.
?					Texture changed.
Beta
1.8					Zombies drop rotten flesh instead of feathers. Now, chickens Chicken Health points 4 () Size Adult: Height: 0.7 Blocks Width: 0.4 Blocks Baby: Height: 0.35 Blocks Width: 0.2 Blocks Spawn Solid surfaced blocks with a minimum of two block spaces above them A 1/8 are the only source of feathers. The reason that zombies used to drop feathers is that they were used as a placeholder (before chickens were implemented in the game). It stayed this way because Notch did not know what exactly zombies would drop.
