Spawn Egg colors

This page describes content that has been removed from the game.
 
This feature was present in earlier versions of Minecraft, but has since been removed.

Prior to the Spring to Life update drop, spawn eggs used textures that were accordingly colored to match each mob.

While Programmer Art returns the old spawn eggs in Java Edition and add-ons can create the old spawn eggs in Bedrock Edition, these are dedicated texture files per item rather than the old coloring system.

Spawn eggs that are pre-colored

These spawn eggs used texture files directly, as opposed to using the standard base and overlay textures. Several of these used textures visually identical to the outcome of tinting in Java Edition, and as such the input colors could be reverse-engineered.

History

This section is missing information about: how the "mask" spawn egg works,when was this implemented in bedrock edition?.
 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Java Edition
1.111w49a Spawn eggs originally used a single texture, which was then colored as a whole with a randomly-generated color.
12w01a Spawn eggs now use two textures, a base and an overlay, which are colored individually with values defined in the code.
1.21.525w08aColored spawn eggs have been replaced by their own separate textures.

Used colors

This section is missing information about: Confirm which of these do not use colors (in which case, move them to the below section) and which do (in which case add them to the History section, preferably alongside values): [list incomplete]

  • Donkey and mule spawn eggs in Console Edition before TU46
  • Whether the warden spawn egg shown in early screenshots actually differs from the JE1 revision
  • Whether the piglin spawn egg shown in early screenshots actually differs from the BE1 revision
  • Whether the moolip spawn egg has the correct colors reflecting its actual in-game appearance:
  • Pre-release versions of the frog and tadpole spawn eggs: Were these shown in a Java Edition or Bedrock Edition development build? Try to reverse-engineer the colors from the footage if possible (they are not 100% accurate due to MC-213446)
  • Remove entries listed in this template that have been incorporated into the History section below to make it clear what has actually been done.

Java Edition
1.111w49aSpawn egg colors were generated randomly; see #Before 12w01a for more information.
12w01aSpawn egg colors are no longer generated randomly; colors are now instead explicitly defined for each mob.
As such, spawn eggs for which no colors have been defined simply use the raw textures directly with no further colors applied.
The colors defined for spawn eggs that are intended to be used are as follows:

Spawn eggs that do not use colors

In Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education, not all spawn eggs utilized the color system, and instead used predefined sprites that are themselves colored. These may appear identical to their Java Edition counterparts, or entirely different. Such cases are listed here for the sake of completion, and to distinguish them from color-using spawn eggs via highlighting what eggs do not.

Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.7.0 Added chicken, cow, pig and sheep spawn eggs.
v0.9.0build 1 Added creeper, enderman, mooshroom, silverfish, skeleton, slime, spider, wolf, zombie and zombie pigman spawn eggs.
build 2 Added (old) villager spawn eggs.
v0.11.0build 1 Added bat, cave spider, ghast, magma cube and squid spawn eggs.
v0.12.1build 1 Added blaze, ocelot and (old) zombie villager spawn eggs.
v0.13.0build 1 Added rabbit spawn eggs.
v0.14.0build 1 Added witch spawn eggs.
v0.15.0build 1 Added donkey, horse, husk, mule, skeleton, stray, wither skeleton and zombie horse spawn eggs.

Before 12w01a

Prior to Java Edition 12w01a, spawn eggs used a single texture, colored with a single color. This color was generated by the game via an equation, rather than specific colors picked for each egg; as such, even the unused spawn eggs had colors associated with them. The following formula was used to calculate each color component:

red = (64 + (n * 2423535 & 0xC0)) % 256;
green = (64 + (n * 223535 & 0xC0)) % 256;
blue = (64 + (n * 242535 & 0xC0)) % 256;

There are a total of 64 distinct spawn egg colors that can be generated, and the pattern of colors repeats every 256 metadata values (such that a spawn egg with metadata value 0 looks identical to that of one of value 256, and that to one of 512, and so on).

The following is a table of each individual spawn egg color, what data values it applies to in the 0-to-255 range (with the first being bold), and entities that this color is associated with:
