The Chicken Bucket is the name of BURRCO's fast-food chicken restaurant venture located in the main city of Wellstowne Homestead, with a second location being constructed outside New Tonyville on Wellstowne Boogaloo. The restaurant was first built on Somethin' Boulevard next to Phanco Lumber and was designed by Burrowdizzy to sell large quantities of cooked chicken produced by the BURRCO Compound. The building primarily used quartz and hardened clay and resembled, as the name would suggest, a KFC-style bucket of chicken with a large 3D pixel-art chicken face over the front door. The second rendition of the build was constructed to be exactly the same, with the only changes being made to the interior. New redstone circuits were used as well, as the original design did not function in version 1.14.

Features

The original redstone was designed by BestTux. The new design came from YouTuber Mumbo Jumbo.

The original restaurant was intended to test a redstone design created by BestTux that could dispense items in exchange for another, in this case gold for chicken. The redstone was successfully tested in creative mode and then recreated on the server. Users would place gold ingots into a dropper which would be detected by the redstone system to, in turn, dispense cooked chicken. The new restaurant functions on a similar system, albeit set up different using newer technologies in a more compact area.

Sometime in December 2019, Burrowdizzy closed the restaurant in order to make updates to the redstone, as the server was transitioning to a diamond economy. The restaurant has since not been reopened, though Chicken Bucket Chicken is still being sold in the nearby Waterside Eatery

Trivia

Homestead

  • Transitioning into new versions of Minecraft corrupted the text on the menu signs. The signs are intended to display prices whilst advertising the "two-fingered taco tango" as "coming soon" and instructing users on how to operate the dispenser.
  • Behind the counter are two signs that read "SK" and "YE" to spell "SKYE," which is another instance of BestTux poking fun at Burrowdizzy's female preferences.

Boogaloo

  • Burrowdizzy does not have a chicken farm. This means that all food being sold from the shop is actually cooked cod that has been renamed to cooked chicken. This cod is supplied by Immaco Mob Services, a competitor to BURRCO.
  • The iron blocks were omitted from the floor in this rendition. This is because, at the time, the server had no iron farm.
