What Mooshrooms Eat
Mooshrooms in Minecraft eat wheat, just like regular cows. You can feed them wheat to breed them, heal them if they’re damaged, or make baby mooshrooms grow up faster. When you hold wheat in your hand, nearby mooshrooms will follow you around, making them easy to lead wherever you want.
How to Find and Get Mooshrooms
Mooshrooms are rare passive mobs that only spawn naturally in mushroom field biomes. These biomes are quite uncommon, so finding them can take some exploration. Here’s what you need to know:
Natural Spawning
- Mushroom fields biome – The only place mooshrooms spawn naturally
- Mushroom field shore – The beach variant of mushroom biomes
- They spawn in groups of 4-8 mooshrooms
- No hostile mobs spawn in mushroom biomes, making them very safe
Breeding Mooshrooms
Once you have at least two mooshrooms, you can breed them using wheat. Feed wheat to two adult mooshrooms within close proximity, and they’ll enter love mode (hearts appear above them). After a few seconds, a baby mooshroom will appear.
Red vs Brown Mooshrooms
There are two types of mooshrooms you might encounter:
- Red mooshrooms – The common variant that spawns naturally
- Brown mooshrooms – Created when a red mooshroom gets struck by lightning
Special Mooshroom Features
Mooshrooms offer unique benefits beyond regular cows. You can milk them with a bowl to get mushroom stew, providing both food and the bowl back. They also drop leather and raw beef when killed, but keeping them alive is usually more valuable since mushroom stew is an excellent food source.
If you’re looking to start your own mooshroom farm, you’ll need to transport them from mushroom biomes using leads or boats, since they can’t be found anywhere else naturally. For more Minecraft adventures and tips, check out our collection of engaging games that capture the same creative spirit.
TL;DR
Mooshrooms eat wheat like regular cows and only spawn naturally in rare mushroom field biomes. You can breed them with wheat or find them by exploring these unique, mob-free areas.
