Spawn Eggs are items that can spawn mobs.

Obtaining

Creative Mode

Spawn Eggs can be found in the Miscellaneous Items tab of the Creative Mode inventory, they are distributed between the second and third page.

Commands

The player can use the give command to add Spawn Eggs to their inventory, determining which mob it will spawn with the type data tag and the mob's name in between quotation marks or apostrophes:

give spawn_egg 1 0 {type:'zombie'}

The default data tag of Spawn Eggs is the pig's, so not entering a data tag in the command will result in a pig egg. The player can also use the give command to obtain Spawn Eggs of mobs absent in the Creative Mode Inventory, such as the Ender Dragon and Snow Golem, which use the default grayscale texture.

Usage

Spawn Eggs are used to spawn their corresponding mob. The player can right-click to use a Spawn Egg or activate a dispenser containing one. A Spawn Egg renamed in an anvil will spawn a mob with the same name.

Trivia

  • In the give command, typing "dog" in the type data tag will give the player a wolf Spawn Egg. give spawn_egg 1 0 {type:"dog"}
  • Not all Spawn Egg textures are the same but recolored, as the Cowctus egg has thorns and some eggs have slightly different spot patterns, mostly different by one or two pixels.
  • The Miscellaneous Items tab of the Creative Mode inventory has a chicken egg as its icon
