Allows servers to prevent chickens from laying eggs by setting EggLayTime to -1

[brickmonster]

I was surprised that NoAI:1 still causes eggs to be laid, but is a more flexible solution for servers that want both as -1 is never normally reached.

-1 prevents ticking.
0 works as before for instant egg lay.

Try with /data merge entity @n[type=chicken] {EggLayTime:-1}

I'm not sure I like changing the vanilla behavior of that value. Server's can just set it to max int, which is like 3.5 years of uptime or whatever, of if we really want a thing to prevent it, I'd rather it be a separate field that we add.

Agreed with above, just honestly set it to a big number.

It could pause at max int instead, making the setter's intent match the behaviour. Otherwise that's fine by me, feel free to close.

Yeah, gonna close this. Just in general with alot of MC related fields like this, setting it to a big number is just fine.

Ty for ur contribution, however.
