Eggs are items and non-moving entities.

Spawning

Eggs do not spawn naturally, but they can be placed using by the player.

Ostriches

An ostrich egg will appear sometime after a female ostrich has been fed melon seeds and paired with a male ostrich.

Scorpions

A scorpion egg will be spawned from a tamed scorpion (depending on the type of scorpion) when an essence of darkness is used on it.

Wyverns

A wyvern egg will appear if any essence is used on a tamed wyvern (except for mother wyverns, undead wyverns, dark wyverns and light wyverns).

Obtaining

Eggs are dropped by fishies, medium fish, small fish, snakes, Komodo dragons, sharks, wyverns, and manticores.

The mobs listed above (except for sharks, wyverns and manticores) will drop 0 to 2 eggs; manticores, wyverns and sharks will drop 0 to 1 eggs. Sharks will only drop eggs on Easy or higher difficulty and have a 10% chance; Komodo dragons and manticores have a 25% drop rate.

In the 1.12 versions, all eggs, except Red Fish Egg (10), Python Snake Egg (28) and Manticore Egg (65) are available in the creative inventory.

Pairing ostriches

An ostrich egg will appear after a wild male and female ostrich have been "bred". The male and female need to be kept close in order for an ostrich egg to appear. After the female ostrich lays the egg, you can collect it. If you don't obtain the egg in time, the egg will hatch a wild baby ostrich.

Usage

The notification message that appears after an egg is about to hatch.

Hatching

An egg's main purpose is to hatch into a baby mob. Most eggs can be hatched by placing them on the ground with , though eggs obtained from water mobs will need to be placed in a body of water.

A few seconds after an egg has been placed, a chat message will appear to tell the player to "KEEP WATCH!", and will also display the egg's coordinates. When an egg hatches, a 'pop' sound similar to a chicken laying an egg can be heard, and the naming screen will appear. If you stray too far from the egg (about 9 or more blocks) the resulting baby mob will be wild. If this occurs, you have to start again.

Nether

Eggs can be placed in the Nether to hatch a nether ostrich or nether scorpion.

Cooking ingredient

Eggs can be cooked in a furnace to make an omelet.

Omelet	Spoiled Egg + Any fuel

Properties

Eggs never move, and instead remain static. They can be pushed by mobs, the player, pistons, set on fire, poisoned, hit, but are not affected by knockback. Eggs can also be "killed" like mobs, and emit a puff of white smoke after death.

Like mobs and other entities, eggs can be leashed and named with a name tag. If an egg is leashed, however, they will not follow the player, and will stay stationary.

Trivia

• You can pick up an egg like a dropped item by simply walking over it.
• Eggs cannot be thrown like Minecraft eggs, and cannot be used to craft cakes or pumpkin pies.
• Because eggs have the same shape all around, they don't appear to look upside-down after being named "Grumm" or "Dinnerbone".
• Eggs have a similar texture to snowballs.
