One may spawn the given mob of their chosen egg by right clicking open space whilst holding the egg. Some mobs are excluded for certain reasons:

Trivia

 * Although not officially stated, one might determine the reasoning behind some mobs being unspawnable. Snow Golems can already be created by the player. Spider Jockeys are two separate entities. Enderdragons are a boss mob meant to only spawn in The End, and to spawn them in the Overworld would be dangerous to the landscape and any structures made.


 * This addition reminds us of the statement of notch, possibly being a hidden teaser to the update: "You know what would be fun? If every single animal in minecraft came from eggs. Breeding would involve moving egg blocks around."
