Mooshrooms Aren't Cows

Mooshrooms are NOT cows! When you shear a mooshroom, it stays a mooshroom - just without its mushrooms for a while. Like sheep, the mushrooms will grow back over time.

Description

Mooshrooms Aren't Cows

Mooshrooms are NOT cows! When you shear a mooshroom, it stays a mooshroom - just without its mushrooms for a while. Like sheep, the mushrooms will grow back - but only if they eat mycelium!

Features

Shearing Behavior

Shearing mooshrooms drops mushrooms but doesn't convert them to cows
Mushrooms regrow when mooshrooms eat mycelium (like sheep eating grass)
Brown and red mooshrooms keep their color identity
Killing a mooshroom drops beef, leather, AND mushrooms

Red Mooshroom Aggression

Red mooshrooms become aggressive when attacked
They will chase and attack the player who hurt them
Their attacks inflict poison and nausea
Aggression wears off after 10 seconds

Configurable

All features can be customized in the config file:

Toggle between mycelium-eating or timer-based mushroom regrowth
Enable/disable red mooshroom aggression
Adjust damage, effect durations, and amplifiers

Configuration

The config file is located at config/mooshroomsarentcows-common.toml
