The Loneliest Chicken of 2025 (stylized in all caps) is an informational animation recounting many of the events and records of the year 2025.

Inside a village, where most houses have a roof made of copper blocks, two allays and various animals play together, while Steve and Alex construct a house with a copper roof. A chicken walks outside the dark gap between two houses where it is standing. It is labeled as the only lonely chicken in the game. Trying to find someone to talk with, it scares two armadillos and gets ignored by two villagers and a busy copper golem. While the copper golem is busy organizing a copper chest, an iron golem plants a poppy on the former's lightning rod. The chicken tries to talk to both golems, but they ignore it as villagers in the background build a full copper tower. The chicken then gets startled by a warm pig ridden by Steve, and gets disappointed when Steve ran to Noor who holds a saddle to their pet donkey before riding it. Soon, the lonely chicken tumbles down because of a cold cow leashed by Alex. The chicken, on the ground, spots Sunny riding a happy ghast with a boat with chest leashed to it. The chicken tries to get Sunny's attention to no avail, becoming depressed. It stumbles then across a sitting oxidized copper golem statue. The chicken stays sadly alongside the statue as night falls. Kai notices the chicken and wears a carved pumpkin, decreasing the located players counter by 1. Suddenly, it gets startled as the ground shakes and all villagers hide in their houses. The chicken looks at an empty field and notices the shaking is caused by a zombie horseman, who approaches the chicken and ignores it, revealing a baby zombie behind it. The chicken and the zombie soon become friends as fireworks are launched into the sky. They become a chicken jockey who jumps above a fence to chase a warm pig in circles. At the same time, Steve charges outside the fence wielding a netherite spear as they run away from the zombie horseman from earlier. The chicken jockey, as well a horse-riding Alex, catch up behind the zombie horseman. As they go by, two nautiluses pop up of a lake watching the riders. The chicken jockey falls over as the sun begins to rise.
