Huge mushroom

The Huge Mushroom is a possible item, block or mob which may be added in future versions. Similarly to the Experience Orb it is unknown what the name entails, and the only information available comes from the name of one of the tabs in a screenshot posted by Notch.

Evidence for the inclusion of the huge mushroom


In a tweet, Notch showed a picture of a 1.7 change-list. Although it was completely blurred out and was, at first, thought of as a joke, but then Notch stated that one of the pictures with the new lighting system and the change list had a secret in them. People all around the web started speculating.

One place that people discussed it was on the Minecraft forums, where it was discovered that the tabs at the top of the change list that were partly covered, could be decoded based on the 1 pixel tall pattern available in the image.

After a user named "tmcaffeine" successfully decoded, the tabs read: ExperienceOrb.java, changelist.txt, Level.java, Tile.java, HugeMushroomTile.jav(a?), HugeMushroomFeature.(java?), RandomLevelSource(cut)

Therefore, it was speculated that huge mushrooms will be added to the game. As of now, Notch has neither confirmed nor denied this idea, but he did say that the answer was found.

There is a small theory that it will be a new block found in the Sky Lands. Even so, not much of this idea is on the internet, instead it gets passed on on multiplayer. Others say that it might be in the Nether. This is only a rumor, it is not known if it is true or false.

There is a picture posted by Notch on 1 July 2011 on his Google+ account where you can see an NPC village and 2 huge mushrooms.
