Piglin Brute Spawn Egg is a Creative-only item that spawns a hostile Piglin Brute the moment a player uses the egg on any solid surface. Survival, Adventure, and Hardcore modes never stock Piglin Brute Spawn Egg, because no crafting recipe, mob drop, or villager trade ever produces a spawn egg in Minecraft. The only sources are the Creative inventory and console commands. Piglin Brute Spawn Egg stacks to 64 and is non-renewable, matching every other spawn egg in the game.

Piglin Brute Spawn Egg entered Java Edition in version 1.16.2 (snapshot 20w27a) and Bedrock Edition in 1.16.20, the same Nether update that introduced the Piglin Brute itself. The Piglin Brute summoned by Piglin Brute Spawn Egg is the 50-HP guardian of every bastion remnant variant, attacking players on sight regardless of gold armor and dealing up to 19.5 damage on Hard difficulty with a golden axe. A spawned Piglin Brute ignores gold distractions, calls nearby piglins to help, and never respawns after death. Transported to the Overworld or the End, the Piglin Brute zombifies into a Zombified Piglin after 15 seconds. Mapmakers and server admins use Piglin Brute Spawn Egg to script Nether-raid encounters, test gold-armor defenses, or populate custom bastion dungeons. Defeating a spawned Piglin Brute drops 20 experience and occasionally its golden axe, mirroring a naturally generated Piglin Brute's loot table.
