Mooshrooms are Cows spawned in the Mushroom Biome, covered with red mushroom growths. They have 2 mushrooms on their body and one on their head. The player can shear them for 2-5 red mushrooms, turning them back into normal cows. If killed, they drop the same items as normal cows. Using a bowl on them gives the player Mushroom Stew. Mooshrooms very rarely can be found outside of Mushroom Biomes.
History
Mooshrooms will be added in Beta 1.9 and introduced to the player in Beta 1.9 Pre-release.
Bugs
- On SMP when a Mooshroom is sheared, a server-side cow spawns, as well as a client-side cow that spawns for the player who sheared the Mooshroom.[1]
- When you have a stack of bowls and right click on a Mooshroom the stack will be removed and replaced by only one Mushroom stew.
Trivia
- The Mooshroom's name is a portmanteau of "moo," the sound Cows make, and "mushroom."
- Mooshrooms cannot be milked with a bucket like a normal cow, but instead can be "milked" with a bowl for Mushroom Stew.
- When a Mooshroom transforms into a normal Cow by shearing, it creates an effect similar to TNT explosions.
- In the Beta 1.9 Pre-release mobs folder in the minecraft.jar, Mooshroom's are referred to as redcows, most likely because their texture is mainly a red color shift of the cow texture. Also, Mooshrooms are referred to as mushroomcows elsewhere.
- Mooshrooms/Cows are the most resourceful mob in Minecraft: Mooshrooms can be "milked" with a bowl for mushroom stew; shearing them drops 2-5 red mushrooms, which changes them back into a normal cow that can be milked with a bucket; the Milk is used for making cake; and when you kill the cow it can drop 1-3 pieces of raw beef and 0-2 pieces of leather. This is a total of at least 6 items that can be directly or indirectly obtained from Mooshrooms/Cows.
- Mooshrooms are the first fictional passive mob.
