Craftable Mob Egg
by Spartacus_01
Craftable Mob Egg lets players make spawn eggs through crafting recipes instead of finding them in the creative inventory or the world.
What it does
Players can craft mob eggs from recipes, so a spawn egg for a given mob is available in survival without needing the creative menu or a drop. The recipes are listed in the mod's gallery page, which shows what each egg needs. This makes the eggs a planned resource rather than a chance find.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. It is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source in the sense of publishing its full source for public contribution.
Key features
Crafted spawn eggs
Spawn eggs for mobs are made with crafting recipes instead of being taken from the creative menu.
Mob farm support
Crafted eggs can be used to create mob farms, since each egg spawns the matching mob where it is placed.
Zombified Piglin egg
A Zombified Piglin egg is included among the craftable eggs, so that mob can be spawned on demand.
Recipe gallery
The gallery page shows the crafting recipes, so players can check the ingredients before building an egg.

Use cases
Building a mob farm
A server owner or player can craft the eggs needed to set up a farm for a chosen mob, without hunting for drops.
Survival access to eggs
On a survival server, players who lack the creative menu can still obtain the eggs they want through crafting.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want spawn eggs to be earned through crafting, and players building mob farms on a Forge 1.20.1 server.
How it compares
Zombified mobs is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that needs to be installed on both the client and the server, and it is released under All rights reserved. More Mob Drops is a Forge option for 1.20 that a server can run on its own, and it is also All rights reserved. Crafting for Spawner is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that must run on both sides, released under the MIT License but not open source. Craftable Mob Egg, by contrast, needs only the server, so players join without installing anything.
