/give @p minecraft:zombie_spawn_egg 1/give @p minecraft:villager_spawn_egg 1How to build it
- Choose a mob in ID Search or the Summon page.
- Select spawn-egg output and enter the item count.
- For older versions, confirm that the mob and egg existed at that time.
Common mistakes
- Confusing a Summon command with a spawn-egg Give command.
- Using a newer mob egg in an older version such as 1.19.
- Pasting a Java ID into Bedrock without checking it.
Edition and version notes
Version-specific searches require version-specific content. A current spawn egg ID may not exist in an older installation.
An egg item is different from directly spawning a mob
/give @p minecraft:zombie_spawn_egg 1 adds a spawn egg to inventory, while /summon minecraft:zombie ~ ~1 ~ spawns the zombie directly. The two actions behave differently when the player needs to distribute eggs to others or when no direct spawning should occur yet.
Use the item generator to choose the egg and count. Check that the egg exists in your selected version: new entities may not have corresponding egg IDs in older game releases. Test the plain item before trying any added custom data.
