This page describes content that has been removed from Minecraft.
This feature was present in earlier versions of Minecraft, but has since been removed.

Prior to the Spring to Life game drop, spawn eggs used textures that were accordingly colored to match each mob.

While Programmer Art returns the old spawn eggs in Java Edition and add-ons can create the old spawn eggs in Bedrock Edition, these are dedicated texture files per item rather than the old coloring system.

Spawn eggs that are pre-colored

These spawn eggs used texture files directly, as opposed to using the standard base and overlay textures. Several of these used textures visually identical to the outcome of tinting in Java Edition, and as such the input colors could be reverse-engineered.

History

Java Edition

Java Edition
1.111w49a Spawn eggs originally used a single texture, which was then colored as a whole with a randomly-generated color.
12w01a Spawn eggs now use two textures, a base and an overlay, which are colored individually with values defined in the code.
1.814w25a The base texture for spawn eggs has been changed - pixels obscured by the overlay, which are never normally visible anyway, have been removed.
1.21.525w08a Colored spawn eggs have been replaced with their own separate textures.

Bedrock Edition

Bedrock Edition
1.8.0beta 1.8.0.8 Added the mask spawn egg texture. It was made for data-driven entities.
In the texture, the red channel is the base spawn egg texture, while the green channel is the spawn egg overlay texture. To give the item its appearance the base color is applied to the red channel, and the overlay color is applied to the green channel with shaders.
1.21.70Preview 1.21.70.24 Spawn eggs that used colors and those that did not have both been replaced with new textures located in the spawn_eggs sub-folder.
The mask spawn egg texture can still be used to create custom spawn eggs using add-ons.

Used colors

Java Edition
1.111w49a Spawn egg colors were generated randomly; see #Before 12w01a for more information.
12w01a Spawn egg colors are no longer generated randomly; colors are now instead explicitly defined for each mob.
As such, spawn eggs for which no colors have been defined simply use the raw textures directly with no further colors applied.
The colors defined for spawn eggs that are intended to be used are as follows:

Spawn eggs that do not use colors

In Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education, not all spawn eggs utilized the color system, and instead used predefined sprites that are themselves colored. These may appear identical to their Java Edition counterparts, or entirely different. Such cases are listed here for the sake of completion, and to distinguish them from color-using spawn eggs via highlighting what eggs do not.

Before 12w01a

Prior to Java Edition 12w01a, spawn eggs used a single texture, colored with a single color. This color was generated by the game via an equation, rather than specific colors picked for each egg; as such, even the unused spawn eggs had colors associated with them. The following formula was used to calculate each color component: 

red = (64 + (n * 2423535 & 0xC0)) % 256;
green = (64 + (n * 223535 & 0xC0)) % 256;
blue = (64 + (n * 242535 & 0xC0)) % 256;

There are a total of 64 distinct spawn egg colors that can be generated, and the pattern of colors repeats every 256 metadata values (such that a spawn egg with metadata value 0 looks identical to that of one of value 256, and that to one of 512, and so on).

The following calculator can be used to calculate the colour of a spawn egg of damage value n:

n = 0

red = , green = , blue =

Color:
 #

The following is a table of each individual spawn egg color, what data values it applies to in the 0-to-255 range (with the first being bold), and entities that this color is associated with:
