Mob Crates Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I use mob crates instead of regular spawn eggs?
Once the resource pack is enabled, your spawn eggs in the creative inventory and in your hand will automatically display as mob crates instead. The functionality remains identical—they still spawn the same mobs when used on the ground or in commands.
Do mob crates work with commands like /give?
Yes, mob crates work with all standard spawn egg commands. Use the regular spawn egg syntax in your commands, and the resource pack will render them as crates visually while maintaining full compatibility with command mechanics.
Will mob crates work on a multiplayer server?
Mob crates are a resource pack, so they only affect your client's visuals. Other players on the server will see regular spawn eggs unless they also install the resource pack on their end.
Can I use mob crates with other resource packs?
Yes, but resource pack load order matters. Place Mob Crates higher in your resource pack list if you want its designs to take priority, or lower if you want another pack's spawn egg textures to override it.
Why are my mob crates showing as regular eggs?
Check that the resource pack is enabled in your resource pack settings and positioned above any conflicting packs. If using a modpack, verify the pack wasn't accidentally disabled during an update.
Do mob crates affect performance or fps?
No, mob crates are purely a visual replacement and have no impact on performance or game mechanics—they're just textures swapped for the existing spawn egg system.
Can I customize which mobs get which crate designs?
You can edit the resource pack's texture files to reassign crate designs to different mobs, but this requires manual file editing and knowledge of the pack's texture structure.
Do mob crates work in survival mode?
Mob crates only appear in creative mode where spawn eggs are available in the inventory. In survival mode, spawn eggs display normally since they're not part of the standard survival experience.
Are mob crates compatible with custom mobs from other mods?
Mob crates only replace vanilla spawn eggs, so custom mobs from other mods will continue to use their own spawn egg textures unless the resource pack is specifically updated to include them.
How do I organize mob crates in creative mode inventory?
Mob crates follow the same sorting rules as regular spawn eggs in creative mode. Use the search function or sort by item type to group them together, just as you would with vanilla spawn eggs.
