WELCOME TO MINECRAFT!
Minecraft is one of the best games ever made! You can build anything you want, fight monsters, explore caves, and go on epic adventures. The blocky world is full of surprises!
Whether you're building a massive castle, digging for diamonds, or running from creepers, there's always something fun to do in Minecraft.
COOL MOBS IN MINECRAFT
Minecraft has so many cool mobs! Creepers are the famous green guys that explode. Endermen are tall and teleport around. Zombies come out at night to get you!
The friendly mobs are great too - pigs, cows, sheep, and of course CHICKENS! You can tame wolves and cats to be your pets.
DID YOU KNOW? The Creeper was actually created by accident when Notch was trying to make a pig!

BIOMES AND EXPLORATION
Minecraft has tons of different biomes to explore! Deserts with temples, jungles with parrots, snowy mountains, mushroom islands, and the scary Nether and End dimensions!
Each biome has unique blocks, animals, and secrets to discover. The best part is that worlds are randomly generated, so every new world is different!

ALL ABOUT CHICKENS!

FUN FACT: Chickens can remember over 100 different faces of people and animals!
COOL CHICKEN FACTS
Chickens can run up to 9 miles per hour! That's pretty fast for a bird that doesn't fly much. They also have great eyesight and can see more colors than humans.
Mother hens talk to their babies while they're still in the egg! The chicks can chirp back before they even hatch. How cool is that?
Chickens take dust baths to keep clean and get rid of bugs. They dig a little hole, flop around in the dirt, and it makes them so happy!

TYPES OF CHICKENS
There are SO many types of chickens! Silkies have fluffy fur-like feathers. Polish chickens have crazy poofy heads. Rhode Island Reds are great egg layers.
Some chickens lay blue or green eggs! Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers are famous for their colorful eggs. Imagine having rainbow eggs for breakfast!
FERRETS ARE AWESOME!
Ferrets are long, fuzzy, and super playful! They're like a mix between a cat and a dog but shaped like a noodle. They love to run around and explore everything!
Ferrets do something called the "war dance" when they're happy - they hop around sideways and make funny noises. It's hilarious to watch!

COOL FERRET FACTS
Ferrets are part of the weasel family, along with otters, minks, and badgers. They were originally used for hunting rabbits because they could fit into burrows!
Baby ferrets are called "kits" and a group of ferrets is called a "business"! A business of ferrets sounds like they should be wearing tiny suits.
Ferrets are super flexible and can squeeze through really small spaces. If their head fits, their whole body can usually follow!

SPACE IS HUGE!
Space is so big that we can't even imagine it! The nearest star to us (besides the Sun) is 4.24 light years away. That means light takes over 4 years to get there!
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all of Earth's beaches. That's like... a LOT of stars!
COOL FACT: A day on Venus is longer than its year! Venus spins so slowly that it takes 243 Earth days to rotate once!
DINOSAURS WERE REAL!
Dinosaurs lived on Earth for over 160 million years! Humans have only been around for about 300,000 years. Dinosaurs were here WAY longer than us.
The T-Rex had teeth as big as bananas and could bite with 12,800 pounds of force! That's stronger than any animal alive today.
Some dinosaurs had feathers! Scientists now think many dinosaurs, including some raptors, were covered in colorful feathers like birds.
WEIRD FOOD FACTS!
Honey never goes bad! Archaeologists have found 3000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs and it was still perfectly edible!
Carrots were originally purple, not orange! Orange carrots were bred in the Netherlands in the 1600s.
YUMMY FACT: The world's largest pizza was over 13,000 square feet! That's bigger than a basketball court!
