Ranking EVERY New Spawn Egg in Minecraft (Spring Update 1.21.5)

Minecraft Spawn Egg Overhaul: Full Ranking and Review

The Spring To Life update in Minecraft 1.21.5 has blessed us with something huge (and no, it’s not just more mobs to battle): a complete overhaul of every spawn egg texture. That's right — these little eggs got a glow-up, and while most are awesome...some are definitely not it.

So naturally, we had to rank them.
From the gloriously goofy to the gloriously gross, here’s where every new spawn egg lands!

And yes, I’m judging purely on looks, vibes, and how much they make me smile or scream. Let’s go!

🥚 F Tier: The "What Even Is This?" Eggs

• Skeleton Horse, Skeleton, Ghast — (Ranks 81-79)
  From a distance, these look basically identical. Like… whose idea was it to make ghostly white blobs and call it a day?
• Wither Skeleton, Wither — (78-77)
  Same mess, different mob. It’s giving: confused skeleton.
• Dolphin (76)
  The little pool detail is neat but the weird fin sticking out? Yikes.
• Squid (75) & Glow Squid (74)
  You’d think underwater mobs would pop more — instead, it’s just black blobs and questionable spots.
• Tropical Fish (73)
  They slapped fins on an egg. That’s it. That’s the tweet.
• Pufferfish (72)
  Those 1-pixel spikes made this spawn egg look like a stress ball from your nightmares.
• Silverfish (71)
  More like Silver-MEH. Looks messy but hey, at least no weird fins.
• Turtle (70)
  They gave the egg legs. WHY? Just make it a turtle shell, guys. Easy win!

🥚 C Tier: The "Meh, They Tried" Eggs

• Ravager, Axolotl, Spiders (Regular + Cave), Frog, Stray (69-64)
  Most of these either had weird legs or too many messy details. Props for effort though!
• Wolf (62)
  It’s cute… kinda. Feels weirdly squished.
• Creeper Vine/Creaking, Strider, Rabbit, Armadillo, Husk, Allay, Vex, Cod, Salmon, Hoglin, Zoglin, Tadpole (61-50)
  Mostly harmless, mostly boring. Some small wins (Tadpole having eyes!), but nothing blew my blocky socks off.

🥚 B Tier: The "Solid, But Not Legendary" Eggs

• Goat (49)
  Fun fact: I forgot it existed while making the list. That’s kinda the energy here.
• Fat Eggs Streak: Llamas, Camel, Polar Bear, Mule, Horse, Donkey, Zombie Horse (48-40)
  They all have chubby faces and honestly? It’s adorable. #ThiccEggEnergy
• Blaze, Sheep, Pig, Cat, Slime, Breeze, Drowned, Zombie, Phantom, Panda, Magma Cube, Guardian Twins (39-27)
  Lots of creative touches here! Special shoutout to the Slime and Magma Cube for being gloriously gooey.

🥚 A Tier: The "Actually Amazing" Eggs

• Endermite (26)
  Tiny, purple, and criminally underrated.
• Warden (25)
  Dark, mysterious, looks like it came straight from a horror mod. Love it.
• Fox (24)
  Fluffy cuteness in egg form. 10/10 would hatch.
• Piglin Gang (23-21)
  Love the scar details and the snazzy outfits!
• Big Sniffer Nose Gang: Zombie Villager, Pillager, Vindicator, Iron Golem, Wandering Trader, Villager, Witch, Evoker (20-13)
  Adding the giant noses was pure comedy genius. No notes.
  The Evoker wins for best color scheme too!
• Sniffer (12)
  Green leafy goodness and the biggest nose. Bless this lad.
• Bat (11)
  Simple, spooky, perfect. A+ bat vibes.

🥚 S Tier: The "God-Tier" Eggs

• Cow & Mooshroom (10-9)
  Throwback alert! They kept the old-school spot patterns and it’s beautiful.
• Chicken (8)
  It’s the size of an actual egg! Genius. And it’s adorable.
• Bog Skeleton (7)
  Looks like a cursed Easter egg that’s been rotting for 50 years. Amazing.
• Parrot (6)
  So bright. So festive. Chef’s kiss.
• Enderman (5)
  Purple splotches? Check. Pure spooky vibes? Double-check.
• Bee (4)
  Tiny. Buzzing. Perfect. Carry it in your pocket forever.
• Snow Golem (3)
  Mini snowman. Pumpkin head. Stick arms. Literal pocket frosty. ❄️
• Shulker (2)
  They turned the Shulker shell into an egg. Simple concept, flawless execution.
• Creeper (1)
  Come on. It's the most iconic mob = the most iconic egg. Face + green pixel chaos = perfection.

Honestly? Even the worst new spawn eggs are still a fun step up compared to the old plain ones. Minecraft didn’t just remodel them — they added personality, humor, and a ton of tiny Easter eggs (pun intended). 🐣

Ranking them was tougher than surviving a creeper blast without armor, but it had to be done.

Which new spawn egg is YOUR favorite? Let’s debate in the comments below — and no judgment if you secretly stan the weird Turtle Legs Egg.
