SpawnEggDrops
by crdtrd
SpawnEggDrops lets mobs occasionally drop their own spawn egg when they are killed, so a player can collect eggs without creative mode.
What it does
When a mob dies, there is a rare chance it leaves its spawn egg behind as a drop. The chance is low, so eggs stay a find rather than a reliable item. The mod is server-side only: the server runs it and players join without installing anything.
Owners who want a steady supply of eggs can point players to a spawner as a second source, since the mod only covers the drops from killed mobs. The mod requires Fabric API, and files are published for Fabric alone across three game versions, 1.21.8 – 1.21.10, under the MIT License with its source code open.
The latest build, 1.0.0+1.21.10, was released on 2025-10-15 for 1.21.10. The first version came out on 2025-09-16, so the project is recent and still small in scope.
Key features
Rare mob egg drops
Mobs have a low chance of dropping their spawn egg on death, adding an occasional reward to combat.
Kill-based acquisition
Eggs come from killing mobs rather than from a crafting recipe or a command, so collection depends on play.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players connecting to a server with it installed do not have to add it themselves.
Spawner alternative
Players who want eggs on demand can use a spawner to get the same mob without relying on random drops.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want spawn eggs to appear as occasional loot, and players who enjoy hunting for rare drops during combat.
How it compares
Eggs+ is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on client and server, with all rights reserved and no open source code. Missing Eggs is also Fabric, open source under the MIT License, but client-side only and published for 1.21.11. Hard Spawners is server-side like SpawnEggDrops and covers 1.21.6 – 1.21.8, but it targets spawners rather than drops, and its license is All rights reserved.
