Mooshrooms are mushroom-covered variants of cows exclusive to the rare mushroom fields biome.
Contents
Spawning[]
Java Edition[]
Red mooshrooms can spawn in mushroom fields biomes in herds of 4–8 when the light level is 9 or higher and on Mycelium. They do not naturally spawn in any other biome. A red mooshroom transforms into a brown mooshroom (and vice versa) when it is struck by lightning. Brown mooshrooms never spawn naturally.
Red mooshrooms have a 5% chance of spawning as babies.
Bedrock Edition[]
Mooshrooms spawn at light level 7 or above in mushroom fields biomes. 5% of them spawn as babies.
Breeding[]
A pair of mooshrooms can breed after being given wheat. A mooshroom cannot be bred with a cow unless the mooshroom has been sheared.
Feeding wheat to a calf shortens its growing time by 10% of the remaining time.
Baby mooshrooms do not have mushrooms on their backs. Mushrooms appear once the baby grows to an adult.
Breeding two red mooshrooms has a 1⁄1024 chance to spawn a brown baby variant and vice versa.
When breeding a red mooshroom and a brown mooshroom together, there is 1⁄2 chance of getting a red baby variant, and a 1⁄2 chance of getting a brown baby variant.
Drops[]
When an adult mooshroom is killed, it drops:
- 0–2 Leather. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III.
- 1–3 Raw Beef (Steak if killed while on fire). The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1-6 with Looting III.
- 1–3 (when killed by a player or tamed wolf)
Upon successful breeding, 1–7 is dropped.
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 don't grow back.
Like other baby animals, killing a baby mooshroom yields no items or experience.
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. The mooshroom returns to producing mushroom stew until fed another small flower. The small flowers produce the suspicious stew with the following effects.
| Flower | Effect | Duration (BE) | Duration (JE) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allium | Fire Resistance | 2s | 4s |
| Azure Bluet | Blindness | 6s | 8s |
| Blue Orchid Dandelion |
Saturation | 0.3s | 0.35s |
| Cornflower | Jump Boost | 4s | 6s |
| Lily of the Valley | Poison | 10s | 12s |
| Oxeye Daisy | Regeneration | 6s | 8s |
| Poppy | Night Vision | 4s | 5s |
| Tulips | Weakness | 7s | 9s |
| Wither Rose | Wither | 6s | 8s |
Behavior[]
Mooshrooms have the same AI behavior as cows: they tend to 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.
Red mooshrooms convert to brown mooshrooms, and brown convert to red when they are struck by lightning.
