The boss mob spawn eggs in Minecraft lets you spawn boss mobs without requiring you to complete the requisite conditions or items to summon them. However, unlike regular mob spawn eggs, the boss mob variants cannot be found in the creative inventory — the only way to obtain them is through commands. You can use the /give command to get your hands on these eggs.

Minecraft has two boss mobs — the Wither and the Ender Dragon. While the Wither can be summoned using soul sand and wither skulls, you will have to reach the endgame to face the dragon. However, you can simply use the boss mob spawn eggs to summon them as many times as you want.

Before you use the command to obtain the boss spawn eggs, make sure that you have commands enabled. In the Java edition, you can choose to turn on Commands while in the Bedrock edition, head over to the Settings menu and turn on Cheats. Now you can access your command console by hitting the forward slash ('/') on your device.

Once done, here's how you can obtain the two boss mob spawn eggs by typing or pasting these commands in your command console. Simply replace <playername> with your username.

Obtain the Wither boss mob spawn eggs in Minecraft:

/give <playername> minecraft:wither_spawn_egg

Obtain the Ender Dragon boss mob spawn eggs in Minecraft:

/give <playername> minecraft:ender_dragon_spawn_egg

Once you use these Minecraft commands, you will receive the respective eggs in your inventory. Similar to other spawn eggs, the boss mob variants can be used to summon unlimited instances. These eggs are a great way for players to face off against the boss mobs for fun or practice before dealing with the real thing in their survival or hardcore world.

Apart from spawn eggs, the /give command can be used to obtain any item or block found in the creative inventory. Commands are one of the most unique aspects of Minecraft, allowing players to obtain, damage, execute, and even kill mobs or entities in the game.
