Egg

An Egg is a food item added in the 7 Seecret Friday Update. Chickens lay eggs every 4–5 minutes.

During the Beta update (20 of December, 2010), eggs were made throwable at the request of a fan as a result of this Twitter conversation. When thrown, eggs have the same on-hit effect as snowballs and have a 1/8 chance of spawning one to four chickens, with a 1/32 chance of four chickens appearing from a single egg.

Eggs are a critical component of Cake - a single egg is required to craft each one.

Trivia

 * Like arrows and snowballs, when placed into a dispenser and then activated, eggs are fired from the dispenser and have the same effects as a thrown Snowball.


 * There is a glitch where it will sometimes spawn five chickens. It may spawn more, though there have been no reports of more than five chickens coming from one egg.


 * If an egg is thrown through lava, it will catch on fire.
