Spawn Egg
Reason: This page addresses close to a hundred distinct items, and the ID, history, etc. sections are a complete mess as a result. We already split Music Disc into one item per page - can the same logic be applied here? Only generic information about spawn eggs would remain on this page, with specific details per egg (ID, sprite (especially given recent changes), sound events, history) being documented on the split pages.

A spawn egg is an item used to spawn mobs directly.
Obtaining
Spawn eggs can be obtained only in Creative mode or using commands. In Creative mode, the player can press pick block on an existing mob to obtain their respective egg. In Bedrock Edition, spawn eggs are found at the bottom of the Nature tab of the Creative inventory, whereas they have their own tab in Java Edition. There are 84 spawn eggs in Bedrock Edition and 82 spawn eggs in Java Edition.
Usage
A spawn egg is used by pressing use on any surface (top, bottom, or side) with the 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.
Spawn eggs are not thrown (unlike normal eggs); the player must be within normal range of the block to use the spawn egg. All monster mobs (except shulkers, piglins, hoglins and ender dragons; in Bedrock Edition, also piglin brutes) spawned while on Peaceful difficulty get created and immediately deleted from the world.
The surfaces of blocks are prioritized for spawning; if none are within reach, mobs can also be spawned in water or lava sources.
Dispensers
A spawn egg fired from a dispenser spawns the mob directly in front of the dispenser. The spawn egg is consumed when fired.
Baby mobs
If the player uses a spawn egg on the type of mob it spawns, and that mob has a baby form, the egg spawns a baby version of the mob. For instance, using a sheep spawn egg on a sheep makes a baby sheep with the same wool color.
Monster spawners
All spawn eggs can also be used on a monster spawner or trial spawner to change the mob that spawns. In Bedrock Edition, spawn eggs for any of the fish mobs spawn them only if the monster spawner is waterlogged.
Renaming
A spawn egg can be renamed on an anvil, and when used it spawns a mob with that name appearing over its head, similar to a mob that has been named with a name tag. Unlike a name tag, this method of naming does not prevent hostile mobs from despawning. The mob's name can be seen only by aiming at the mob from four or fewer blocks away. This name also appears in death messages from the mob killing a player.
Certain names have special effects on mobs, and so a spawn egg with the name will spawn a mob with the effect. A rabbit spawn egg named "Toast" will spawn a rabbit with the secret skin. A spawn egg named "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" spawns a mob that appears upside down. A vindicator from a spawn egg named "Johnny" acts hostile to all mobs except for other illagers. A sheep from a spawn egg named "jeb_" appears to change colors over time; this doesn't affect the color of the wool the sheep drops.
Survival mode
Players in Survival mode can use spawn eggs normally, though spawn eggs are not obtainable in Survival. They can be obtained only using the Creative menu or commands. Unlike in Creative, spawn eggs are consumed when used in Survival mode.

History
- 25w15a changed some of the Programmer Art textures - show before and after.
| Java Edition | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | 11w49a |                                        Added spawn eggs for creepers, skeletons, spiders, zombies, slimes, ghasts, pig zombies, endermen, cave spiders, silverfish, blazes, magma cubes, pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, squid, wolves, mooshrooms and villagers. | |||||
| The spawn egg has a single texture file, which is tinted different colors. | |||||||
| 12w01a |                                        The spawn egg and its markings now have their textures separated, allowing them to have entirely different colors. This allows their colors to better match the colors of the mobs themselves. | ||||||
| 1.2.1 | 12w03a | Spawn eggs can now be placed into a dispenser. Activating the dispenser spawns the mob, instead of dispensing the egg as an item. | |||||
| Spawn eggs are now stackable. | |||||||
| 12w04a |  Added ocelot spawn egg with the addition of the ocelot itself. | ||||||
| Before 1.2, edited spawn eggs for snow golems, ender dragons and giants (and other "unspawnable" mobs) produced mobs of their types. Now, this is restricted to those eggs available in the creative inventory. | |||||||
| 1.3.1 | 12w18a | Villagers spawned from spawn eggs were always farmers before this update, now their professions are randomized. | |||||
| 1.4.2 | 12w32a | Zombie villagers can now be spawned using zombie spawn eggs. | |||||
| Sheep from spawn eggs can now spawn naturally-colored sheep (white, gray, brown, pink, etc.). | |||||||
| 12w36a | Wither skeletons now have a high chance to spawn from skeleton spawn eggs when used in the Nether. | ||||||
| Skeletons on spider jockeys can now be replaced with wither skeletons when using spider spawn eggs in the Nether. | |||||||
| 12w38a |    Added witch and bat spawn eggs. | ||||||
| 1.4.4 | pre | Baby mobs are now spawn-able by right-clicking a mob with a corresponding mob egg. Unlike other mobs, this does not work with zombies and zombie pigmen. | |||||
| 1.5 | January 7, 2013 | Dinnerbone tweeted the first image of a renamed mob appearing in a death message. | |||||
| 13w02a | Mobs spawned from renamed eggs now have the name of the egg and the names appear in death messages. | ||||||
| Mobs can now display their custom name as nametag using an NBT tag. | |||||||
| 1.6.1 | 13w16a |  Added horse spawn egg. | |||||
| 13w24a | Spawn eggs now work on water. | ||||||
| 1.6 | Renaming a spawn egg "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" now cause the mob to spawn upside-down. | ||||||
| 1.7.4 | 13w48b | Renaming a sheep or sheep spawn egg "jeb_" gives it a rainbow wool changing effect. This does not affect the wool dropped after death or shearing, however. | |||||
| 1.8 | 14w11a |  Added endermite spawn egg. | |||||
| 14w25a |  Added guardian spawn egg. | ||||||
| 14w27a |  Added rabbit spawn egg. | ||||||
| 14w28b | Spawn eggs can now be used to program monster spawner blocks. | ||||||

|  Added zombie villager spawn egg. It can spawn only zombie farmers. | |||||||
| Using a spawn egg by aiming at the top face of a block now always spawns the mob on the ground. This prevents it from spawning too high on non-full blocks such as slabs or soul sand and prevents it from falling through fences.[5] | |||||||
| Spawn eggs can no longer randomly spawn other variants of that mob, instead their own spawn egg must be used. This means that horse spawn eggs no longer have a chance to spawn donkeys, skeleton spawn eggs no longer have a chance to spawn wither skeletons in the Nether or strays in cold biomes and zombie spawn eggs no longer have a chance to spawn husks in desert biomes or randomly spawn zombie villagers. | |||||||

| Spawn eggs can no longer randomly spawn other variants of that mob, instead their own spawn egg must be used. This means that horse spawn eggs no longer have a chance to spawn donkeys, skeleton spawn eggs no longer have a chance to spawn wither skeletons in the nether, or strays in cold biomes and zombie spawn eggs no longer have a chance to spawn husks in desert biomes or randomly spawn zombie villagers. | |||||||
