Usable items

A mooshroom is a mushroom-covered variant of a cow exclusive to the rare mushroom fields biome.

Spawning

Red mooshrooms can spawn in mushroom fields biomes in herds of 4–8 on mycelium blocks with a light level 9‌ or 7‌ and higher. They do not naturally spawn in any other biome.

Red mooshrooms have a 5% chance of spawning as babies.

A red mooshroom transforms into a brown mooshroom, and vice versa, when it is struck by lightning. Brown mooshrooms never spawn naturally.

Breeding

Main article: Breeding

A pair of mooshrooms can breed when being given wheat. A mooshroom cannot be bred with a cow.

Breeding two red mooshrooms has a 11024 chance to spawn a brown baby variant and vice versa. When breeding a red mooshroom and a brown mooshroom together, the baby has a 12 chance of being either variant.

Feeding wheat to a baby mooshroom shortens its growing time by 10% of the remaining time. Baby mooshrooms do not have mushrooms on their backs; they appear once the baby grows to an adult.

  2. Only when on fire.

Shearing a mooshroom drops 5 corresponding mushrooms and turns the mooshroom into a normal cow, emitting a smaller version of the explosion particle. The mushrooms do not grow back.

Like other baby animals, killing a baby mooshroom yields no items or experience.

Behavior

Mooshrooms have the same AI behavior as cows: they walk around slowly and aimlessly, huffing and mooing occasionally. They avoid danger such as cliffs, fire, or lava, but make no attempt to stay out of water.

A mooshroom follows a player holding wheat.

A lightning strike 4 blocks within a mooshroom switches its color, from red to brown, and vice versa. Mooshrooms do not take damage from lightning during this transformation.

Milking

A mooshroom can be milked by using a bucket on it, yielding a milk bucket. Mooshrooms can also be milked using bowls to get mushroom stew.

When a small flower is used on a brown mooshroom, the brown mooshroom produces a suspicious stew related to that small flower the next time it is milked with a bowl. Red mooshrooms do not produce suspicious stew. The brown mooshroom returns to producing mushroom stew until fed another small flower. The small flowers produce the suspicious stew with the following effects.

Trivia
