They're extremely rare because they only spawn in one biome. This IGN guide will teach you everything you need to know, such as how to find a Mooshroom, how to breed them, quick tips and facts you may not have known, and their available loot drops.

How to Breed a Mooshroom

To breed mooshrooms you’ll need some wheat. Luckily, getting wheat can be fairly simple. All you’ll need to do is plant seeds; you’ll be able to get seeds by breaking grass. Once the seed is planted, it’ll grow into wheat.


Once you have the wheat in your hand, feed it to the mooshrooms. It’ll activate Love Mode, and a baby mooshroom will spawn within seconds.
