Description

Polar Bear Spawn Egg creates a polar bear at the selected position — usually an adult, with a 10% chance of a cub — and is available through the Creative inventory or commands rather than normal Survival gameplay. The item uses the identifier minecraft:polar_bear_spawn_egg and lets mapmakers place the Arctic mob without waiting for natural spawning in snowy biomes. A newly spawned adult is normally neutral, but a polar bear becomes hostile when a cub is nearby or after a player attacks it.

Polar Bear Spawn Egg is useful for testing enclosures, building frozen-biome exhibits, and preparing custom adventure maps. Using the egg on a mob spawner changes that spawner to produce polar bears, so creators should provide enough floor space and prevent unintended contact with players. Polar bears cannot be tamed, and adults may attack foxes; separate test animals when checking custom habitats or behavior.

Does a Polar Bear Spawn Egg create a baby polar bear?

Sometimes. Using the egg on a block creates an adult polar bear 90% of the time; the remaining 10% produce a cub, so a map needing a cub may get one automatically.

Can the egg change a mob spawner?

Yes. Using a Polar Bear Spawn Egg on a mob spawner configures that spawner to produce polar bears.
