A spawn egg is an item used to spawn mobs directly.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Spawn eggs can be obtained only in Creative mode or using commands. In Creative mode, the player can press pick block on an existing mob to obtain their respective egg. In Bedrock Edition, spawn eggs are found at the bottom of the Nature tab of the Creative inventory, whereas they have their own tab in Java Edition. There are 82 spawn eggs in Bedrock Edition and 80 spawn eggs in Java Edition.

Usage[edit | edit source]

A spawn egg is used by pressing use on any surface (top, bottom, or side) with the egg. When used on a top surface, the egg's mob appears with its feet immediately adjacent to the surface, and its ambient sound is played.

Spawn eggs are not thrown (unlike normal eggs); the player must be within normal range of the block to use the spawn egg. All monster mobs (except shulkers, piglins, hoglins and ender dragons; in Bedrock Edition, also piglin brutes) spawned while on Peaceful difficulty get created and immediately deleted from the world.

The surfaces of blocks are prioritized for spawning; if none are within reach, mobs can also be spawned in water or lava sources.

Dispensers[edit | edit source]

A spawn egg fired from a dispenser spawns the mob directly in front of the dispenser. The spawn egg is consumed when fired.

Baby mobs[edit | edit source]

If the player uses a spawn egg on the type of mob it spawns, and that mob has a baby form, the egg spawns a baby version of the mob. For instance, using a sheep spawn egg on a sheep makes a baby sheep with the same wool color.

Monster spawners[edit | edit source]

All spawn eggs can also be used on a monster spawner or trial spawner to change the mob that spawns. In Bedrock Edition, spawn eggs for any of the fish mobs spawn them only if the monster spawner is waterlogged.

Renaming[edit | edit source]

A spawn egg can be renamed on an anvil, and when used it spawns a mob with that name appearing over its head. The name can be seen only by aiming at the mob from four or fewer blocks away. This name also appears in death messages from the mob killing a player. If the player renames a spawn egg by the names described below, the mob appears described below. If the player renames a rabbit spawn egg "Toast", the secret skin of the rabbit appears when the egg is used. Naming a spawn egg "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" causes the mob to appear upside down and show the given name above it. Renaming a vindicator "Johnny" causes it to act hostile to all mobs except for other illagers. Renaming a sheep "jeb_" makes the sheep's wool color cycle in a rainbow loop. This doesn't change the color of the wool the sheep drops. Renaming a spawn egg of a hostile mob with an anvil and then spawning the hostile mob with the renamed spawn egg does not prevent the hostile mob from despawning, unlike using a name tag on the mob.

Survival mode[edit | edit source]

Mobs can be spawned with spawn eggs in Survival mode, but spawn eggs are not obtainable in Survival. They can be obtained only using the Creative menu or commands. Unlike in creative, spawn eggs are consumed when used in survival.

List of spawn eggs[edit | edit source]

There is a spawn egg for almost every mob in the game; exceptions are listed below this table.

Mobs without spawn eggs[edit | edit source]

The following mobs do not have explicitly defined spawn eggs. Custom spawn eggs can be created with a custom NBT tag that changes the spawned entity, however no spawn egg explicitly associated with any of the mobs exist.

History[edit | edit source]

For information on the historical colors of spawn eggs, see Spawn Egg colors § History.
This section is missing information about: Bedrock Edition being outdated. 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Java Edition
1.111w49a Added spawn eggs for creepers, spiders, skeletons, zombies, slimes, ghasts, zombie pigmen, endermen, cave spiders, silverfish, blazes, magma cubes, pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, squid, wolves, mooshrooms and villagers.
The spawn egg has a single texture file, which is tinted different colors.
12w01a The spawn egg and its markings now have their textures separated, allowing them to have entirely different colors. This allows their colors to better match the colors of the mobs themselves.
1.2.112w03aSpawn eggs can now be placed into a dispenser. Activating the dispenser spawns the mob, instead of dispensing the egg as an item.
Spawn eggs are now stackable, which allows dispensers to hold more than nine of them at one time.
12w04a Added ocelot spawn eggs with the addition of the ocelot itself.
Before 1.2, edited spawn eggs for snow golems, ender dragons and giants (and other "unspawnable" mobs) produced mobs of their types. Now, this is restricted to those eggs available in the creative inventory.
1.3.112w18aVillagers spawned from spawn eggs were always farmers before this update and now their professions are randomized.
1.4.212w32aZombie villagers can now be spawned using zombie spawn eggs.
Sheep from spawn eggs can now spawn naturally-colored sheep (white, gray, brown, pink, etc.).
12w36aWither skeletons now have a high chance to spawn from a skeleton spawn egg, if the player is in the Nether.
Skeletons on spider jockeys can now be replaced with wither skeletons when using spider spawn eggs in the Nether.
12w38a Added witch and bat spawn eggs.
1.4.4preBaby mobs are now spawn-able by right-clicking a mob with a corresponding mob egg. Unlike other mobs, this does not work with zombies and zombie pigmen.
1.5January 7, 2013Dinnerbone tweeted the first image of a renamed mob appearing in a death message.
13w02aMobs spawned from renamed eggs now have the name of the egg and the names appear in death messages.
Mobs can now display their custom name as nametag using an NBT tag.
1.6.113w16a Added horse spawn eggs.
13w24aSpawn eggs now work on water.
1.6Renaming a spawn egg "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" now cause the mob to spawn upside-down.
1.7.413w48bRenaming a sheep or sheep spawn egg "jeb_" give it a rainbow wool changing effect. This does not affect the wool dropped after death or shearing, however.
1.814w11a Added endermite spawn eggs.
14w25a Added guardian spawn eggs.
14w27a Added rabbit spawn eggs.
14w28bSpawn eggs can now be used to program monster spawner blocks.
1.915w31a Added shulker spawn eggs.
15w33aSpawn eggs can no longer be addressed by numeric data id, like: give @p spawn_egg 1 50. The spawnable entity from a spawn egg is now addressed by a datatag: /give @p spawn_egg 1 0 {EntityTag:{id:"Creeper"}}.
1.1016w20a Added spawn eggs for polar bears, wither skeletons, strays, husks, elder guardian, cats, donkeys, mules, skeleton horses and zombie horses.
pre2Removed all spawn eggs added in 16w20a except for the polar bear spawn egg.
1.1116w32a Re-added the spawn eggs that were removed in 1.10-pre2, except the cat spawn egg.
Added a zombie villager spawn egg. It can spawn only zombie farmers.
Using a spawn egg by aiming at the top face of a block no always spawns the mob on the ground. This prevents it from spawning too high on non-full blocks such as slabs or soul sand and prevents it from falling through fences.[6]
16w32bThe zombie villager spawn egg now spawns different zombie professions.
16w39a Added spawn eggs for evokers, llamas, vexes and vindicators.
1.1217w13a Added spawn egg for parrots.
1.1317w47aThe different  EntityTag entity IDs for the spawn_egg ID have now been split up into their own IDs.
Prior to The Flattening, this item's numeral ID was 383.
Using a spawn egg on a block without collision now spawns the mob inside of that block instead of next to it.
18w07a Added spawn eggs for phantoms and turtles.
18w08b Added spawn eggs for the 3 fish mob variants: cod, salmon, and "puffer fish".
18w10a Added a spawn egg for the new tropical fish.
18w11a Added drowned spawn eggs.
18w15a Added dolphin spawn eggs.
18w19a The phantom spawn egg has been changed to look more like mob's updated texture.
18w20a"Spawn <Mob>" has been changed to "<Mob> Spawn Egg".
1.1418w43a Added panda, pillager and "illager beast" spawn eggs.
18w44a Re-added cat spawn eggs.
19w05aThe "illager beast" spawn egg has been renamed to "ravager" spawn egg.
Added wandering trader and trader llama spawn eggs.
19w07a Added fox spawn eggs.
1.1519w34a Added bee spawn eggs.
19w41a The texture of the bee spawn egg has been changed.
