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
