Hummingbird Egg

Hummingbird eggs are items that can be thrown to spawn hummingbird chicks. Each egg generates with a spawn chance, which determines the likelihood of a successful hatch when thrown.

Mob Loot
Hummingbirds drop a hummingbird egg every 5-10 minutes. This rate can be changed via the mod config.

Analysis
Hummingbird eggs have a chance of being obtained by analysing a mystery egg in an egg analyser.

Combat
Just like chicken eggs, players are able to throw hummingbird eggs to deal knockback to mobs, but no damage is dealt, similar to a snowball. Likewise, throwing hummingbird eggs at neutral mobs provokes them. Hummingbird eggs can also be fired from dispensers and are affected by gravity.

Spawning Chicks
Each hummingbird egg generates with a spawn chance. The spawn chance is slightly higher when discovered via an egg analyser than when laid by a parent hummingbird. An egg spawned in creative mode will have a 30% spawn chance. The spawn chance can be increased up to 100% by placing the egg in an incubator or by directly combining the egg with blaze powder in a crafting grid. Each level of incubation increases the spawn chance by 10% for each powder used.

When thrown by a dispenser or by pressing the use button, the spawn chance determines whether it should spawn a hummingbird chick. If the spawn chance is at 100%, a chick will always be spawned. If a hatch is successful, there is a 1⁄32 chance of spawning three additional chicks.

If the egg has a variant tag, the chick spawned will be of that variant, otherwise the variant is randomised. An egg spawned in creative mode will have an unknown variant. Eggs are only stackable if the spawn chance and variant are the same.

Crafting Ingredient
Hummingbird eggs are registered in the forge dictionary using the 'forge:eggs' tag. They are compatible with any egg recipe.
