Hi all! Today I am going to calculate what are the chances of every single egg in your inventory dropping 4 chickens. To find this out, we’re going to need to determine the chances of an egg dropping 4 chickens, which is 1/256 (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Egg)).

Now let’s take this to the extreme. Again, let’s fill up all the shulkers in your inventory with eggs. So, a shulker box has 27 slots and eggs can stack up to 16, which means 16 x 27 = 432 Now, an inventory has 37 slots, so 432 x 37 = 15,984 Therefore a whole inventory can hold 15,984 eggs.

Now, going back to that first number: each egg has a chance of 1/256 of dropping 4 chickens. So now, here is our final answer: (1/256)15,984 =7.9433 \times 10^{-10232}

So, the chances of your whole inventory of eggs, including shulker boxes, spawning exactly 4 chickens is The final probability is 7.9433 x 10^{-10232} i would love to write this number in full, but I can’t because it’s so close to zero it would not fit on my damn screen. Now, if any of my calculations are wrong, please flex your PhDs down in the comments.

    You really don’t get it do you the final number contains so many zeros that I have to format it like this 7.9433 x 10^{-10232} another words it has 10232 zeros and then after those zeros it goes 7.9433

      oh no I wasn’t criticizing your use of scientific notation. I was joking that I could do it even with such a low chance
