An '''egg''' is an [[Minecraft:item]] that is dropped by [[Minecraft:chicken]]s and can be used to craft [[Minecraft:food]] items, such as [[Minecraft:cake]], and can be thrown for a chance to spawn baby chickens on impact. They have three variants based on the variant of the corresponding chicken: the standard egg for temperate chickens, '''brown egg''' for warm chickens, and '''blue egg''' for cold chickens.

Every adult [[Minecraft:chicken]] lays an egg item every 5–10 minutes, except for those that are or were part of [[Minecraft:chicken jockey]]s. The theoretical average would be expected at 1 egg every 7.5 minutes (9000 game ticks). The type of egg being laid depends on the chicken variant; temperate chickens lay normal eggs, cold chickens lay blue eggs, and warm chickens lay brown eggs.

A [[Minecraft:fox]] has a 3% chance of spawning with a normal egg in its mouth, which it drops upon death. Alternatively, a player dropping a food item causes the fox to drop the egg.

Players are able to throw eggs and deal knockback to [[Minecraft:mob]]s (but not other players{{only|JE|short=1}}<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>), but no damage is dealt, similar to a [[Minecraft:snowball]]. Likewise, throwing eggs at [[Minecraft:neutral mobs]] provokes them. Eggs can also be fired from [[Minecraft:dispenser]]s and are affected by gravity.

When thrown by a dispenser or by pressing the {{control|use}} button, an egg has a {{fraction|1|8}} (12.5%) chance of spawning a [[Minecraft:chick]]. If this occurs, there is a {{fraction|1|32}} (3.125%) chance of spawning three additional chicks (on average, 1 out of every 256 eggs spawns 4 chicks). In other words, whenever an egg is thrown, there is a {{fraction|31|256}} chance of spawning 1 chick and a {{fraction|1|256}} chance of spawning four chicks.

Template:Infobox item entity An egg is an Minecraft:item that is dropped by chickens and can be used to craft Minecraft:food items, such as Minecraft:cake, and can be thrown for a chance to spawn baby chickens on impact. They have three variants based on the variant of the corresponding chicken: the standard egg for temperate chickens, brown egg for warm chickens, and blue egg for cold chickens.

Obtaining

Mob loot

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote Every adult chicken lays an egg item every 5–10 minutes, except for those that are or were part of chicken jockeys. The theoretical average would be expected at 1 egg every 7.5 minutes (9000 game ticks). The type of egg being laid depends on the chicken variant; temperate chickens lay normal eggs, cold chickens lay blue eggs, and warm chickens lay brown eggs.

A fox has a 3% chance of spawning with a normal egg in its mouth, which it drops upon death. Alternatively, a player dropping a food item causes the fox to drop the egg.

Generated loot

Script error: No such module "lootChest".

Usage

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage

Combat

Players are able to throw eggs and deal knockback to Minecraft:mobs (but not other playersTemplate:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref>), but no damage is dealt, similar to a Minecraft:snowball. Likewise, throwing eggs at neutral mobs provokes them. Eggs can also be fired from Minecraft:dispensers and are affected by gravity. Eggs thrown through fire or lava in Template:Editions catch fire, and set fire to entities they hit.

Spawning chickens

When thrown by a dispenser or by pressing the {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}use button, an egg has a Template:Fraction (12.5%) chance of spawning a chick. If this occurs, there is a Template:Fraction (3.125%) chance of spawning three additional chicks (on average, 1 out of every 256 eggs spawns 4 chicks). In other words, whenever an egg is thrown, there is a Template:Fraction chance of spawning 1 chick and a Template:Fraction chance of spawning four chicks.

The chick variant depends on which egg variant was thrown; regular eggs hatch temperate chicks, blue eggs hatch cold chicks, while brown eggs hatch warm chicks.

The expected value of the number of chicks an egg produces is Template:Fraction or 13.7%. This means that on average, a chick is spawned every 7.3 eggs, a stack of 16 eggs spawns 2.188 chicks, and a full inventory including the hotbar and off-hand (37 × 16 = 592 eggs) is expected to spawn approximately 81 chicks.

Trivia

  • Eggs break mid-fall if hit by another projectile; the chance of spawning a chick is not affected.
  • A thrown egg faces toward the player in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontally in third-person view. This is the case for all throwable Minecraft:items such as ender pearls, Minecraft:snowballs, and all throwable Minecraft:potions.
