Cow Spawn Egg
Cow Spawn Egg instantly spawns a Cow in Creative mode for fast cattle farms producing leather, beef, and milk.
Description
Use Cow Spawn Egg to start a cattle farm without waiting for natural spawns in plains and meadow biomes. Cows spawned from Cow Spawn Egg drop 0–2 leather and 1–3 raw beef, can be milked with an empty bucket for a Milk Bucket, and breed when fed wheat. Cow Spawn Egg also works inside a dispenser, letting redstone builders summon cows automatically for hands-free beef and leather farms.
