Trivia

 * There are good explanations for why the unspawnable mobs cannot be spawned. A Snow Golem can be easily created, a Spider Jockey is not a separate mob as such, Enderdragons are not supposed to be spawned other than the one in The End(and could easily be used to grief if spawned in other dimensions), and Giants are completely unused.


 * Eggs look very similar to the eggs in Pokémon games.
