How to View Egg-Laying Mob Outputs and Counts

Not every animal in Minecraft gives birth to a live baby mob immediately after entering love mode. For creatures that reproduce by laying eggs or spawn, Just Enough Breeding Mod displays both the resulting egg block and how many are produced.

Checking Egg Production Details

1. Open your inventory and locate the egg-laying mob's spawn egg (or its breeding item, such as a slimeball) in JEI, REI, or EMI.

2. Open the recipes or uses window and select the breeding category tab.

3. Check the input side to confirm the breeding item—for example, slimeballs for frogs.

4. Inspect the output slot in the breeding display to see the exact egg item or block produced after breeding, such as frogspawn.

Preparing Your Breeding Pen

Alongside the icon of the egg or spawn, the interface displays the number of eggs the mob produces from a single breeding cycle. Knowing whether a mob lays eggs rather than spawning an immediate baby helps you build the right enclosure:

• Ensure the pen includes the blocks those mobs need to lay their eggs on, such as water source blocks with air above them for frogs to place frogspawn.
• Check the output count in the menu so you can estimate how many offspring a single pair will yield.
