CHANGELOG

* Added `dirtChicken` — drops `minecraft:dirt`. Bred from Amican + Clay chickens.
* Added `vanillaChicken` — drops `minecraft:egg`.

 

Teaching Mechanic (right-click with item on vanilla chicken)
* Added `chickenNosto` — obtained by right-clicking a vanilla chicken with a Cake. Lays Cake. Bred from Yellow + Brown chickens.
* Added `amicanChicken` — obtained by right-clicking a vanilla chicken with a Grass Block. Lays Grass Block. Bred from Green + Brown chickens.
* Added `dirtChicken` — obtained by right-clicking a vanilla chicken with Dirt. Lays Dirt.

Changes
* `smartChicken` now lays books instead of eggs.
* `vanillaChicken` now lays eggs.

Fixes & Improvements

Almost Unified support
* Added `tagDrop` drop supplier to `signalumChicken`, `enderiumChicken`, `iridiumChicken`, and `lumiumChicken` (AllTheOres alloys, previously Thermal Foundation alloys) so the dropped ingot respects the Almost Unified mod-priority config instead of always returning the first tag match.

JEI — Teaching Category
* The Teaching category output slot now correctly displays the chicken item (with its chicken sprite) instead of a spawn egg.
* `buildTeachingRecipes()` now emits one entry per teaching interaction: Book → Smart Chicken, Pumpkin Pie → chickenNosto, Grass Block → amicanChicken, Dirt → dirtChicken.
* All four entries show the resulting `ChickenItem` (rendered chicken image) in the OUTPUT slot.
