Mob eggs are fairly difficult to come by in Minecraft. In fact, without creative mode or cheats enabled, it is impossible. This mod adds a new gameplay element that allows players to find spawn eggs in caves, stuck in blocks that must be mined. I present to you the Ores-To-Eggs mod by ArchTehBoss!
Egg ores are fairly rare in this mod, which is one of the reasons I appreciate it so much. It introduces a new feature while still maintaining some level of balance in the game. These ores can spawn on the surface or underground, anywhere between 0 and 100 elevation.
Mining an ore yields that ore in its block form, similar to the process of mining iron or gold. These cannot be smelted, however – they must be crushed with the Ore Crusher. To create this new item, you need a diamond, two iron ingots, and two sticks:
Crushing the ore is then simply a matter of combining the block with the crusher in any crafting GUI:
The result is, of course, a throwable spawn egg. The crusher can only be used four times, so use it wisely!

I would like to take a moment to point out that the developer of this mod is quite young – thirteen years old at the time of its posting, in fact. I am always impressed by young modders and programmers in general. If you know any other mods done by young players, please leave them in the comments below – I may feature them!
