The Villager Spawn Egg is a Creative-mode item that instantly spawns a villager (minecraft:villager) wherever you use it. You cannot craft it or find it in Survival — it appears only in the Spawn Eggs tab of the Creative inventory or through the /give @s minecraft:villager_spawn_egg command. Right-click a solid block to spawn an adult villager; its outfit (plains, desert, jungle, savanna, swamp, taiga, or snowy) is chosen from the biome where it is placed, not from the egg itself. Right-clicking an existing adult villager with the egg spawns a baby villager instead, which is handy for jump-starting a breeding colony. A freshly spawned villager has no profession until it claims a nearby job-site block such as a Composter, Lectern, or Cartography Table. Since the 1.13 update in Java Edition, the item carries its own dedicated ID minecraft:villager_spawn_egg, replacing the old damage-value spawn-egg system. Builders and map makers rely on the egg to populate custom villages, test trading halls, or stage iron farms without waiting for natural spawns.
