Minecraft:Mooshroom

A mooshroom is a mushroom-covered variant of the Minecraft:cow exclusive to the rare Minecraft:mushroom fields biome. Mooshrooms are a great source of Minecraft:mushroom stew and Minecraft:leather.

Spawning

Red mooshrooms can spawn in Minecraft:mushroom fields Minecraft:biomes in herds of 4–8 on Minecraft:mycelium blocks. 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 Minecraft:lightning. Brown mooshrooms never spawn naturally.

Breeding

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

Breeding two red mooshrooms has a Template:Frac chance to spawn a brown baby variant and vice versa. When breeding a red mooshroom and a brown mooshroom together, the baby has a Template:Frac 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.

Drops

Breeding

Template:Xp upon successful Minecraft:breeding

On death

• Template:Xp (when killed by a Minecraft:player or tamed Minecraft:wolf)

Shearing a mooshroom drops 5 corresponding Minecraft:mushrooms and turns the mooshroom into a temperate Minecraft: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 Minecraft:wheat.

A Minecraft:lightning strike within 4 blocks of 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 Template:Control a Minecraft:bucket on it, yielding a Minecraft:milk bucket. Mooshrooms can also be Template:Control using Minecraft:bowls to get Minecraft:mushroom stew.

When a small flower is fed to a brown mooshroom, the brown mooshroom produces a Minecraft:suspicious stew related to that small flower the next time it is Template:Control with a Minecraft: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.
