Egg Incubator

An egg incubator is a block used to increase the spawn chance of bird eggs.

Breaking
An egg incubator can be mined using a pickaxe. It will drop all of its contents when broken. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

Crafting
The flint and steel used in the recipe must be brand new.

Incubation
The egg incubator is used to increase the spawn chance of bird eggs. Eggs with higher spawn chance are more likely to successfully hatch chicks when thrown. Its interface can be opened by pressing the use item button on it.

The bottom slot is for fuel. The top grid is for bird eggs. Any number of bird eggs can be placed in at once, though each slot will only accept a single egg.

The flames at the bottom of the screen show how much power is left in the machine. The machine will consume blaze powder to add power to the machine. When the power is at zero, the machine will not incubate any more eggs. The eggs in the machine are all processed at once, allowing for up to fourteen eggs to be incubated at the same time. Each incubation cycle takes 25 seconds and can be shown by the bars moving across the bottom of the screen. Once a cycle has completed, each egg will have gained a 10% spawn chance increase. Incubation will continue until the machine runs out of power, no eggs remain, or all eggs have reached a 100% spawn chance.

Just like furnaces, hoppers can be used to automate analysis. Hoppers at the top and side will feed fuel and eggs into the machine. Hoppers at the bottom will automatically remove any egg that reaches a 100% spawn chance.

Eggs can also be incubated by combining them in a crafting grid with any number of blaze powder. Each powder will add a 10% spawn chance to the egg. All the powder will be consumed, though the egg will never go above 100% chance.

Light source
When active, the egg analyser emits a light level of 13.

Custom name
By default, the GUI of an egg analyser is labeled "Egg Incubator", but this name can be customised by naming it in an anvil before placing it,
