🐔 What Even Is a Chicken Jockey?
In the game, a Chicken Jockey is a rare mob, spawning when a baby zombie mounts a chicken. It’s both terrifying and adorable—and, thanks to the film, now iconic. While longtime Minecraft players already knew about this strange spawn, A Minecraft Movie gave it a name-drop that launched 10,000 memes.

After the movie's release, TikTok and YouTube exploded with edits, remixes, and fans shouting “Chicken jockey!” in the most dramatic ways imaginable. People began bringing rubber chickens to screenings.
