Spawn Eggs

Using eggs

Find registered eggs in the Invasion Mod creative tab or the vanilla Spawn Eggs tab. With command permission, use /give @s invmod:hoglin_spawn_egg; substitute an item ID from the table. Use entity IDs with /summon, not with /give.

Use an egg on a valid block face to spawn its mob. IM eggs apply saved entity data, including listed tier and flavour presets. Compatible IM egg spawns bind to the dimension’s selected active Nexus and receive its invasion equipment and upgrade rolls. This also covers dispensers and offspring created by an egg, without requiring a nearby player.

Invasion equipment from spawn eggs

On the current Minecraft 26.3 / NeoForge branch, compatible IM mobs created with an egg receive the active Nexus's spawn rolls after their native equipment and egg data are initialized. The extra pass covers player-used eggs, dispenser-spawned mobs and offspring created by using an egg on a mob. Compatible means the entity supports Invasion's Nexus binding; this is not a promise that every Vanilla or third-party egg follows the IM egg path.

1. Start an invasion in a test world, or use an already active Nexus in the same dimension. A placed but inactive Core does not activate the extra egg rolls.
2. Obtain an IM egg from Creative or, with command permission, use /give @s invmod:zombie_spawn_egg. Spawn it on a valid block face. For a dispenser test, put the egg in a dispenser and trigger it with redstone.
3. Review the resulting mob. Equipment remains random and obeys the mob's Weapons, Armor and other permissions. One unequipped mob does not prove the rolls failed.

Extra initialization	Rule
Binding and stats	The selected active Nexus binds compatible spawns; native IM mobs reset health for that Nexus. Configured wave stats also apply to the root mob and its mob passengers.
Weapons, shields and armor	Normal/Strong/Stable spawns use the current invasion's ordinary random equipment chances and slot restrictions. Versus uses purchased Weapons, Shield and Armor chances. Existing native equipment and occupied slots remain subject to the same wave rules; no full loadout is guaranteed.
Enchantments	Normal invasion equipment uses the current wave chance; Versus uses the purchased Enchantment chance. The shared pass includes riders and retains normal compatibility and maximum-level limits.
Infection	Uses ordinary progression-based infection outside Versus and the purchased Infestation chance in Versus. Requires enable-silverfish=on; Silverfish and Endermites do not receive this infection roll. Egg spawns have no SWARM/SIEGE phase bonus.
Arrow effects and sniping	Outside Versus, the ordinary harmful-arrow-effect roll and permitted sniping initialization run. The Versus egg equipment pass does not add this ordinary wave-arrow roll.
Infernal modifiers	With compatible Infernal Mobs, eligible newly bound mobs receive the Nexus-dependent roll. Outside Versus it follows the current wave; Versus uses the purchased Infernal chance. A failed roll also remains recorded after loading.

Limits and troubleshooting

Egg tier/flavour presets still apply. This initialization does not replace the egg with a random wave purchase, apply phase purchase flags, or guarantee a specific weapon. Configured wave spawn locations do not relocate an egg spawn.

With no selected active Nexus in that dimension, the mob keeps its ordinary egg initialization instead of receiving this additional invasion pass. Existing mobs loaded from disk do not receive a new egg pass, and the shared equipment pass runs once for a newly spawned root and its riders. Natural spawning and /summon are separate paths.

Test in a separate arena: compatible egg mobs join the active invasion rather than remaining harmless previews. In Versus, check the actual binding and purchased skill chances; the egg does not select a team based on who clicked it. Low chances, disabled permissions, occupied equipment slots and missing optional mods can explain an absent upgrade.

For buying the chances used by Versus egg spawns, see Infestation, Armor, Weapons, Shield and Enchantment and Infernal. Newly bound eligible eggs use the purchased levels; buying a skill later does not reroll an already spawned egg mob.

The IM name reference lists the display names of Stone Spirit, Stone Minion, Iron Ball and Shroom Bandit eggs. Use the item IDs in this reference for commands.

Built-in eggs

IDs apply to the inspected 26.3 / NeoForge branch. Icons are family textures referenced by the mod’s item models, extracted from Minecraft 26.3. On narrow screens, scroll the table horizontally; keyboard users can focus it and use the arrow keys. Shared icons do not imply shared entity registrations. “Default entity data” means no explicit tier/flavour override in the egg.

Optional eggs

These IM eggs are registered only when the corresponding integration is available; they differ from the dependency’s own eggs. See integration requirements.

Mob	Egg item ID	Required mod
Mutant Zombie	invmod:mutant_zombie_spawn_egg	Mutant Monsters
Mutant Creeper	invmod:mutant_creeper_spawn_egg	Mutant Monsters
Mutant Skeleton	invmod:mutant_skeleton_spawn_egg	Mutant Monsters
Mutant Enderman	invmod:mutant_enderman_spawn_egg	Mutant Monsters
Spider Pig	invmod:spider_pig_spawn_egg	Mutant Monsters
Creeper Minion	invmod:creeper_minion_spawn_egg	Mutant Monsters
Wildfire	invmod:wildfire_spawn_egg	Friends & Foes

If an older port crashes during entity creation, consult the 1.21.1 Gift Zombie and 1.20.1 shared mob-data corrections. Egg artwork or Nexus equipment settings do not apply those fixes.

Mobs without a dedicated egg

The Pumpkin Minion (invmod:pumpkin_minion) is a healing projectile with no dedicated egg. Use the Pumpkin Ghost egg with a living Big Pumpkin to observe its normal collection and throw behavior.

Homer is a 1% Fat Zombie variant with no dedicated entity or egg. Use the Fat Zombie egg for the normal one-time variant roll; a nametag alone does not create Homer. The charged Flying Creeper is Tier 2 of the Flying Creeper entity and has no separate egg.

Frost Skeleton Tier 2 (invmod:frost_skeleton_t2) has no dedicated egg; the Frost Skeleton egg spawns Tier 1.

Mystery Zombie has entity ID invmod:mystery_zombie but no dedicated registered spawn egg. Its Zombie icon is a family icon. The Skeleton, Stray, Bogged, Parched and Wither Skeleton Tier 2 variants also have no dedicated registered eggs in this branch. Do not derive egg item IDs from entity names.
