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

Spawning

[edit | edit source]

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

Breeding

[edit | edit source]
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 1⁄1024 chance to spawn a brown baby variant and vice versa. When breeding a red mooshroom and a brown mooshroom together, the baby has a 1⁄2 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.

Shearing a mooshroom drops 5 corresponding mushrooms and turns the mooshroom into a temperate 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

[edit | edit source]

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 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

[edit | edit source]

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 fed to 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.

Java Edition

[edit | edit source]
Java Edition
1.0.0Beta 1.9 Prerelease Added mooshrooms.
They cannot be milked with a bucket like regular cows can. Right clicking on a mooshroom with more than one bowl equipped turns the whole stack into just one bowl of mushroom stew.
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2 Breeding a cow with a mooshroom may result in either, chosen randomly. The offspring may be more likely to be the kind the player gave wheat to first, similarly to sheep.
Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 The mooshroom's horns have been moved.
The mooshroom udder's model is changed, but the texture isn't changed to match the new model, resulting in the texture on the udder being off-placed.[1]
Added baby mooshrooms.
Mooshrooms can now be bred with wheat.
1.2.112w07a Mooshrooms can no longer breed with cows.
12w07b Mooshrooms have a new AI system.
1.4.212w38a Added new step, hurt, and idle sounds for mooshroom.
1.6.113w16a Added leads, which can be used to leash mooshrooms.
1.814w02a Baby mooshroom growth can now be accelerated using wheat.
14w05b Mooshroom's mushrooms are no longer visible when they have the Invisibility effect.
14w26b Mooshrooms now require mycelium, not grass, for random spawning and spawning from mob spawners.
1.8.2pre5 Fixed mooshroom udder texture not displaying correctly.
Fixed mooshrooms incorrectly displaying custom mushroom models.
Changed Mooshroom's Mushroom model.
1.915w31a It is no longer possible to get stew from mooshrooms in Creative mode.[2]
15w39a Mooshrooms are now slightly taller (1.4 blocks tall rather than 1.3, with babies 0.7 blocks tall rather than 0.65).
MINECON Earth 2018 The Mojang panel debates whether to add brown mooshrooms.
1.1418w43a The textures of the mooshroom and baby mooshroom have been changed.
19w08a Added the brown mooshroom variant, which spawns when a regular mooshroom is struck by lightning.
Brown mooshrooms give the player suspicious stew when fed a flower.
Breeding two red mooshrooms has a 1⁄1024 chance to spawn a brown baby variant, and vice versa.
1.1519w39a The textures of the mushrooms on mooshrooms have been flipped.
The model of baby mooshrooms have been changed.
1.1620w15a Mooshrooms can now be sheared by dispensers.
pre1 It is once again possible to get stew from mooshrooms in Creative mode.
1.21.224w33a Due to a bug, the baby red and brown mooshroom models are currently broken.[3]
24w34a The baby red and brown mooshroom models are now been fixed.
1.21.525w05a The red and brown mooshroom models have been updated to include an extruded snout and mirrored legs.
Other than being resized, the texture itself hasn't changed, meaning the extruded snout is not visible by default.
25w07a The textures for both variants have been updated.
25w10a The red and brown baby models now have their heads positioned correctly, to match parity with Bedrock Edition.
26.1snap2 The model and textures of baby mooshrooms have been changed.
snap5 Added golden dandelions, which can be used to prevent baby red mooshrooms from growing up.
Golden dandelions currently do not age-lock baby brown mooshrooms and instead set their stew effect.
snap8 Golden dandelions now age-lock baby brown mooshrooms.[4]
Small flowers (except the golden dandelion) can no longer be used on baby brown mooshrooms. Previously, using a small flower on one defined the effect of the first suspicious stew obtained for when it's milked as an adult.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • In Minecraft Earth, there was a buttercup-covered variant of mooshrooms known as "mooblooms".[7] This variant was also part of the Minecraft Live 2020 Mob Vote. It came last and there are currently no known plans to add it to the game.
  • Unlike cows, mooshrooms do not have a Moody sound variant.
  • The name "Mooshroom" is a combination of the words "moo" and "mushroom"
