About
Eggs are obtained by killing chickens or collected from chicken farms. Throw an egg at the ground or at mobs to deal a small amount of damage; there is a 1 in 8 chance it will spawn a baby chicken on impact.
On a server, eggs are useful for quickly populating a chicken farm or as a low-cost offensive item for survival players. They stack up to 16 per slot, making them easy to store and distribute. Spawn them in bulk with the /give command for testing or griefing prevention.
