An '''egg''' is an [[item]] that can be used to craft [[food]] items, or thrown for a chance to spawn [[chick|baby chicken]]s on impact.
|
||
|
||
== Obtaining ==
|
||
=== Mob loot ===
|
||
{{see also|Tutorials/Egg farming}}
|
||
Every adult [[chicken]] lays an egg item every 5–10 minutes, except for those that are or were a part of [[chicken jockey]]s. The theoretical average would be expected at 1 egg every 7.5 minutes (9000 game ticks).
|
||
|
||
A [[fox]] has a 3% chance of spawning with an egg in its mouth, which it drops upon death. Alternatively, a player dropping a food item causes the fox to drop the egg.

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

||
{{crafting usage}}
|
||
|
||
=== Combat ===
|
||
Players are able to throw eggs and deal knockback to [[mob]]s (but not other players{{only|JE|short=1}}<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>{{until|JE Combat Tests}}), but no damage is dealt, similar to a [[snowball]]. Likewise, throwing eggs at [[neutral mobs]] provokes them. Eggs can also be fired from [[dispenser]]s and are affected by gravity. Eggs thrown through fire or lava {{in|BE}} catch fire, and set fire to entities they hit.
|
||
|
||
=== Spawning chickens ===
|
||
When thrown by a dispenser or by pressing the {{control|use}} button, an egg has a {{fraction|1|8}} (12.5%) chance of spawning a [[chick]]. If this occurs, there is a {{fraction|1|32}} (3.125%) chance of spawning three additional chicks (on average, 1 out of every 256 eggs spawns 4 chicks). In other words, whenever an egg is thrown, there is a {{fraction|31|256}} chance of spawning 1 chick and a {{fraction|1|256}} chance of spawning four chicks.
|
||
|
||
The expected value of the number of chicks an egg produces is {{fraction|35|256}} or 13.7%. This means that on average, a chick is spawned every 7.3 eggs, a stack of 16 eggs spawns 2.188 chicks, and a full inventory including the hotbar and off-hand (37 × 16 = 592 eggs) is expected to spawn approximately 81 chicks.
|
||
|
||
For the purposes of establishing a new chicken farm with eggs alone, the probability ''P'' for at least 2 chicks to spawn after throwing ''n'' eggs can be calculated using the following formula:
|
||
|
||
<math>P = 1 - \left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^n - n \times \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{31}{32} \times \left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^{n-1}</math>
|
||
|
||
When throwing 16 eggs, there is a 62% chance of spawning at least two chicks. When throwing 32 eggs, the probability rises to 92%
|
||
|
||
An average of 450 seconds elapses for a chicken to lay another egg. Accounting for all probabilities, the average chicken produces 1.09 chickens per hour when all the eggs it lays are thrown.

== Sounds ==

Thrown eggs use the Friendly Creatures sound category for [[Sound#Entity-dependent categories|entity-dependent sound events]].

|
||
* Eggs break mid-fall if hit by another projectile; the chance of spawning a chick is not affected.
|
||
* Throwing an egg at a [[nether portal]] breaks the egg when it hits the portal.
|
||
* A thrown egg faces toward the [[player]] in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontally in third-person view. This is the case for all throwable [[item]]s ([[ender pearl]]s, eggs, [[snowball]]s, and all throwable [[potion]]s).
