Spawn Egg

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

Obtaining
Spawn eggs are not obtainable in Survival mode. In Creative mode, the player can press on an existing mob to obtain their respective egg. Spawn eggs are also available in the Creative inventory. There are 78 spawn eggs in the Mo' Creatures mod.

Commands
Spawn eggs can be obtained by ops using the  command.

Usage
A spawn egg is used by pressing  on any surface (top, bottom or side) with the egg. When used on a top surface, the egg's mob will appear. The egg will be consumed in the process in Survival mode, but will not be consumed in Creative mode.

Spawn eggs are not thrown (unlike normal eggs) or placed (unlike Mo' Creatures eggs); the player must be within normal range of the block to use the spawn egg. Hostile and neutral mobs (except for Komodo dragons, crocodiles, goats, raccoons, boars, foxes, ostriches, sharks, piranhas, grizzly bears, polar bears, black bears, big cats and wyverns) spawned while on Peaceful difficulty will instantly despawn.

A spawn egg fired from a dispenser will spawn the mob directly in front of the dispenser.

Spawn eggs can be renamed at an anvil, and when used will spawn mobs with that name appearing over their head. Their names can only be seen if they are aimed at from four or fewer blocks away. This name will also appear in death messages from the mob killing a player.
