Description

The Mooshroom Spawn Egg is a creative-only Minecraft item that instantly spawns a red Mooshroom when used on any surface. The Mooshroom Spawn Egg has no crafting recipe and cannot be obtained in Survival, because spawn eggs are creative-inventory and command-only items by design. In Java Edition, the Mooshroom Spawn Egg was added in version 1.1, and in Bedrock Edition (formerly Pocket Edition) it arrived in version 0.9.0. The item stacks to 64, but only with other Mooshroom Spawn Eggs of the same type. A dispenser can fire a Mooshroom Spawn Egg to spawn the mob automatically when powered by redstone. Using a Mooshroom Spawn Egg on a monster spawner changes the mob the spawner produces, and renaming the egg on an anvil makes the spawned Mooshroom display that custom name above its head. A spawned Mooshroom is always red, and using a Mooshroom Spawn Egg on an existing Mooshroom produces a baby, with about a 5% chance of spawning as a baby otherwise.
