I want to collect the music disc from killing a chicken jockey but the baby zombies don't seem to ride them. I play on bedrock.

  1. They don’t just find a chicken and decide to ride one, they spawn already on top of a chicken, that’s what makes it such a rare find.

    It’s a rarer form of zombie spawn that also spawns a chicken. Baby zombies can’t “turn into” jockeys. Fight/ farm zombies until you get one

  3. On Bedrock baby zombies have to spawn with a specific attribute that allows them to ride other mobs, if you encounter one not riding a mob then it’s likely they cannot mount another mob.

  4. It’s a 15% chance for a Baby Zombie to be able to ride a mob. You will have to be a bit more lucky

    I swear they’re meant to spawn naturally on the chicken to be able to drop the music disk

  6. On bedrock, make sure you agro the baby zombie after which it’ll have a 15% chance to ride the nearby chicken. It’s easiest done beside a zombie spawner.

    Not all baby zombies can do that on BE iirc. They can jump on mobs, but not every baby zombie. On Java they need to spawn on a chicken.
