About

The HatchEgg command instantly hatches any egg you are holding, bypassing the normal incubation period entirely. This is a cheat command, so you must enable cheats on your server or use the admin password in single-player to run it.

Use this when you need to quickly test egg hatching behavior, verify kibble recipes, or bootstrap a breeding operation without waiting days for eggs to mature. Since it requires cheats, it is practical for admin testing and event preparation rather than regular gameplay.
