Java Edition:Villager Chicken Jockey
The fix of a bug relating to zombie villagers dismounting minecarts when curing resulted in the curing of baby zombie villagers riding chickens resulting in a villager riding a chicken. A bug introduced in 24w36a (a 1.21.2 snapshot) resulted in this peculiar feature being unobtainable for a short time. They were recontinued in 1.21.2 Pre-Release 3 when the bug was fixed.
The method of obtaining this feature in the latest version of the game is a confirmed bug[1].
Obtaining
Curing
Due to a bug[2], from 1.14 to 1.16.2 Pre-release 1 zombie villagers would dismount any ridden entities when cured. However, Mojang considered the dismounting of minecarts when curing a bug. With how the bug was fixed, curing a zombie villager no longer dismounted it from its ridden entity regardless of what that entity was, allowing zombie villagers riding chickens to still be riding their chicken upon curing.
A bug[3] introduced in 24w36a resulted in all mobs dismounting from ridden entities upon transformation, discontinuing villager chicken jockeys until its fix in 1.21.2 Pre-Release 3. Therefore, from 1.16.2 Pre-release 1 to 24w35a and 1.21.2 Pre-Release 3 to 25w21a (present), if a baby zombie villager chicken jockey is cured then the baby zombie villager will turn into a baby villager chicken jockey.
Baby villager chicken jockeys are temporary discontinued features, permanently becoming an adult villager chicken jockey which can be zombified into an adult zombie villager chicken jockey. Adult villager chicken jockeys can normally only be obtained in the Overworld, as zombie villagers only naturally spawn in the Overworld and mobs with passengers could not travel through portals until 1.21 Pre-Release 1. However, by placing a monster spawner and converting the spawner into a zombie villager spawner with a zombie villager spawn egg, this can also be obtained in the Nether and the End in versions before 1.21 Pre-Release 1.
22w13oneBlockAtATime Mob Stacking
In the April Fools' version 22w13oneBlockAtATime, the player is able to pick up nearly any entity in the game. Picking up these mobs will stack them on top of the players head, each added mob will be riding the mob before it, the player is then able to throw the stacked mobs to let go of them. This can be used to obtain a baby villager chicken jockey and an adult villager chicken jockey. Do note that chickens are easily killed doing this, so it is advised to create a stack of 3 chickens.
