Mooshroom

Natural spawning

Mooshrooms spawn on blocks accepted by `minecraft:mooshrooms_spawnable_on` when the light level is bright enough. Mushroom Fields is their natural habitat and the mycelium surface gives them a high walk-target value. Red and brown are separate stored variants; red is the default.

Drops

The entity loot table rolls 0–2 leather and 1–3 beef, with a looting increase on each pool. A burning mooshroom or a smelting-compatible attacker can produce cooked beef. Shearing uses separate variant-specific tables with five red or brown mushrooms and removes the mooshroom form.

Breeding

Two mooshrooms can breed with wheat. The calf chooses one parent's variant; when both parents match, a 1/1024 mutation roll can produce the opposite colour instead. This keeps mixed herds possible without making the rare variant automatic.

Sounds

Mooshrooms use the classic cow ambient, hurt, death, and step sounds. Their special interactions add dedicated events for ordinary milk, suspicious milk, eating a flower, shearing, and conversion after lightning.

Behavior

A bowl milks an adult mooshroom for mushroom stew. A brown mooshroom can take the effect of a suitable flower and later provide suspicious stew; a second flower is not consumed while an effect is already stored. Shears remove the mushrooms, play the shearing sound, drop five variant-colored mushrooms, and convert the animal into a normal cow. Wheat tempts and breeds both variants, while lightning changes red to brown or brown to red.

Variant changes, bowl and shearing interactions, breeding, and lightning conversion are defined by the Java mushroom-cow implementation. Spawn surfaces, entity drops, and visual variants remain explicit local data rather than inferred from a generic cow page.
