What is Egg in Minecraft?
An Egg in Minecraft is a common and surprisingly useful item. It is primarily known as a throwable item that has a small chance of spawning a baby chicken. While it does not do any damage, throwing an Egg is the main way to start a chicken farm without having to find and lead chickens back to your base. Beyond just making chickens, an Egg is also a key ingredient in crafting several food items. You cannot make a delicious cake or a pumpkin pie without an Egg. This makes it an important item for players who enjoy baking in the game. So, whether you are trying to start a farm for a steady supply of feathers and chicken meat or you are preparing for a celebration with a tasty cake, the humble Egg is an item you will definitely need.
How to get Egg in Minecraft
The way to get an Egg is very simple: you get them from chickens. Adult chickens will randomly lay an Egg every 5 to 10 minutes. So, the best way to get a lot of eggs is to build a chicken coop. You can find chickens in most grassy biomes. You can lead them back to a fenced area by holding seeds in your hand. Once you have at least two chickens in a pen, you can breed them using seeds to get more chickens. The more chickens you have, the more eggs you will collect. Just wander into your chicken coop every so often and you will find eggs lying on the ground, ready to be picked up. You can also find eggs in chests in villages, specifically in fletcher houses. A less common way is to find them in a fox's mouth, as foxes can sometimes pick up and hold an Egg.
How to use Egg in Minecraft
There are two main ways to use an Egg. The first is to throw it. Hold the Egg in your hand and right click to throw it. When the Egg hits a block or a mob, it will shatter. There is a 1 in 8 chance that a baby chicken will spawn where the Egg broke. If you are very lucky, there is a 1 in 256 chance that four baby chickens will spawn from a single Egg. This is a great way to build up your chicken population. The second main use for an Egg is in crafting. An Egg is a required ingredient for making a cake, along with milk, sugar, and wheat. It is also needed to craft a pumpkin pie, along with a pumpkin and sugar. Having a good supply of eggs from a chicken farm makes crafting these food items much easier.
