Spawn eggs are not thrown (unlike normal eggs) the player must be within normal range of the block to use the spawn 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.

There are 77 spawn eggs in Bedrock Edition and 75 spawn eggs in Java Edition.Ī spawn egg is used by pressing use on any surface (top, bottom, or side) with the egg.

Spawn eggs are also available in the Creative inventory. In Creative mode, the player can press pick block on an existing mob to obtain their respective egg. Spawn eggs can be obtained only in Creative mode or using commands.
