Egg

An egg is a food object added in the 7th Seecret Friday Update. They are randomly laid by chickens. They currently have no use, and cannot be eaten.

It is theorized that eggs could be used in future updates for making food items such as omelets or hatch into chicks. (As discussed at the forums )

Notch has announced that if Minecraft wins the Indie game developer contest he will add cake to Minecraft, egg will likely be a baking ingredient.

On the 6th of December 2010, Notch stated on his twitter that eggs would be throwable and that when they hit something they have a 1/8 chance of spawning a chicken. See tweets here: http://twitter.com/notch/status/11773078791000065 In response to: http://twitter.com/Wyld/status/11772816642805760
