New spawn egg texture names and locations do not match Java Edition

The new spawn eggs added in the Spring Drop are named incorrectly in Bedrock Edition. They are also located in the wrong folder. This will waste lots of time for resource pack creators, and it breaks from the pattern of using identical texture names across both platforms.

Java Edition:

!java_eggs.png|thumbnail!

Bedrock Edition:

!bedrock_eggs.png|thumbnail!

To Reproduce

  1. Extract the Java Edition assets from 25w09b.

  2. Navigate to assets/minecraft/textures/item

  3. Observe that all spawn egg textures are named in this format:

    [entity_identifier]_spawn_egg.png
  4. Visit the preview branch of the bedrock-samples GitHub.

  5. Navigate to textures/items/spawn_eggs/

  6. Observe that all spawn egg textures are named in this format:

spawn_egg_[entity_identifier].png
  1. Observe that the “spawn_eggs” folder only exists on Bedrock Edition.

Expected Result

Spawn egg textures are named identically on Java and Bedrock Edition. They are in the same folder on both platforms.

Observed Result

Spawn egg textures are named and located differently on each platform.

It is worth noting that the identifier used for tropical_fish also differs between Java and Bedrock. It is the only identifier which is not the same:

Java: tropical_fish

Bedrock: tropicalfish
