 Description   

Is it a bug that mooshrooms can only be spawned on grass from a spawner?

This also applies for random natural spawning (without a spawner). On grass on a mushroom island Mooshrooms do spawn - On mycel they do not. Definitely a bug.

Confirmed for 14w17/18a.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.9 / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Still an issue in 14w08a

Yes, this is still an issue in 1.7.2.

Still a concern in 1.5.2. Mooshrooms only spawn on grass, it is a bug in that mooshrooms are only ever created during initial chunk generation. If you kill all the mooshrooms in a mushroom biome then no more will ever spawn.

To solve this you have to use a silk touch pick to get grass blocks from outside the mushroom biome or build a dirt bridge to it so that grass will spread. You must then remove mycelium and replace it with grass blocks to create a "spawning pad" where mooshrooms can spawn.

Mooshrooms should be able to spawn on mycelium, but they do not.

All "normal" passive animals spawn on grass anyway, but mooshrooms are an exception; they spawn on mycelium. So ... I'd say it is a bug.

Comment by Sid Ben [ 14/Jan/13 ]

All passive animals needs grass to spawn from a spawner. I'll say it's intended.
