Alphabetized Spawn Eggs
by Amzin
Alphabetized Spawn Eggs changes how creative-inventory spawn eggs are ordered, and it is a Fabric client mod for the 26.x line.
What it does
The mod reverts the thematic ordering of spawn eggs introduced in 1.21.11 and restores the alphabetical listing used before that change. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players install it alone. Fabric is the only loader covered, with release files for 1.21.11, 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest build is 26.3, published 2026-09-18. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Restored alphabetical order
Spawn eggs in the creative inventory are listed alphabetically again, as they were before the thematic change.
Thematic grouping removed
The category-based grouping of eggs is taken out, so related spawn eggs no longer sit in mixed categories.
Mixed egg categories ended
Eggs that the thematic layout had scattered across categories return to a single alphabetical sequence.

How it compares
Sorty is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.4 – 26.2 under the MIT License and open source, and it also sorts the creative inventory. MoreSpawnEggs is open source under the MIT License for 1.18.2 – 1.19.2 and runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Alphabetized Spawn Eggs covers only the ordering of spawn eggs and is not a general sorting tool.
