Description

Zoglin Spawn Egg is a Creative-mode item that places a hostile zoglin directly into a Minecraft world. Zoglins were added with the Nether Update and behave like undead, aggressive versions of hoglins. A player cannot craft Zoglin Spawn Egg in survival mode; the item is available from the Creative inventory or commands such as /give. Zoglin Spawn Egg is useful for testing mob arenas, adventure maps, datapack logic, and redstone traps because the spawned zoglin attacks most nearby mobs and players. Unlike a hoglin, a zoglin does not breed, does not flee from warped fungus, and does not return to a normal hoglin state. Builders should use Zoglin Spawn Egg in enclosed test areas, because a loose zoglin can quickly disrupt villagers, livestock, and other mobs.

Creative Guide

How to use Zoglin Spawn Egg in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Open Creative inventory

    Find Zoglin Spawn Egg in the Creative inventory or give the item with a command before starting the test.

  2. 2

    Choose an enclosed area

    Place the test inside a fenced, walled, or command-block controlled space so the spawned zoglin cannot disrupt other mobs.

  3. 3

    Spawn the zoglin

    Use Zoglin Spawn Egg on a solid block to create one hostile zoglin at the target position.

  4. 4

    Reset the test safely

    Remove the zoglin after the test with normal combat, commands, or a prepared kill zone before spawning another mob.

Survival limit

Zoglin Spawn Egg has no survival recipe; use the natural hoglin-to-zoglin conversion mechanic when a survival world needs a zoglin.
