Guide
How to obtain and use the Mule Spawn Egg in Minecraft
-
1
Open the Creative inventory
Press the Creative inventory key and search for Mule Spawn Egg, the Creative-only item that skips horse-donkey cross-breeding.
-
2
Or run the /give command
Type /give @p minecraft:mule_spawn_egg 1 to receive one Mule Spawn Egg without consuming a breeding pair or survival resources.
-
3
Use the egg on a surface
Right-click a block with Mule Spawn Egg to summon an adult mule, with a 20% chance the spawn comes out as a foal instead.
-
4
Tame the spawned mule
Mount the summoned mule repeatedly until the temper meter maxes, then equip a saddle for steering and a chest for 15 inventory slots.
-
5
Note the sterility limit
Remember that mules are sterile, so Mule Spawn Egg is the only repeatable way to add more mules without pairing a horse and a donkey.
Mule Spawn Egg is Creative-only and never appears in Survival; cheats must be enabled to use the /give command, and no crafting recipe exists for Mule Spawn Egg in any edition.

Frequently asked questions

What command gives a player the Mule Spawn Egg?
Run /give @p minecraft:mule_spawn_egg 1 with cheats enabled to receive one Mule Spawn Egg, the only Survival-mode access path alongside the Creative inventory.
Which Minecraft version added the Mule Spawn Egg?
The Mule Spawn Egg was added in Java Edition 1.10 (snapshot 16w20a) and Bedrock Edition 1.0.0, the same update wave that introduced most animal spawn eggs.
What does using the Mule Spawn Egg spawn?
Using Mule Spawn Egg summons an adult mule, with a 20% chance to spawn a baby mule (foal) instead, duplicating the cross-bred mule's stats every time.
Can a mule spawned by the egg be tamed and equipped?
Yes. A spawned mule is tameable by repeated mounting until temper maxes, after which a chest adds 15 inventory slots and a saddle enables steering, though horse armor cannot be equipped.
Is the Mule Spawn Egg renewable in Survival?
No. Mule Spawn Egg is non-renewable in Survival because the only sources are the Creative inventory and the /give command, neither of which functions in plain Survival play.
