Can I get a Mooshroom Spawn Egg in Survival mode?

No, spawn eggs are Creative mode only. You'll need to find mooshrooms naturally in Mushroom Island biomes or use commands if your world allows them.

What's the difference between the give commands for different versions?

Minecraft changed how it handles spawn eggs and entity tags multiple times. Before 1.13, spawn eggs used data values and NBT tags. After 1.13, each mob got its own item ID like mooshroom_spawn_egg.

Can I use a Mooshroom Spawn Egg on a Mob Spawner?

Yes. Right-click a Mob Spawner with the spawn egg to change what mob it spawns. This works for any spawn egg and any spawner.

What do mooshrooms drop?

Red mooshrooms drop mushroom stew when milked with a bucket. They also drop exp and items like any other mob when killed. Brown mooshrooms are just a color variant.

Why are spawn eggs only in Creative?

Spawn eggs are a creative building tool, not meant for Survival progression. But you can use commands to get them if you enable cheats.

About Mooshroom Spawn Eggs

A Mooshroom Spawn Egg is a red spawn egg with gray spots. It’s only available in Creative mode, not in Survival. When you use one, it instantly spawns a mooshroom (a cow variant with mushrooms on its back). You can’t craft spawn eggs, so they’re purely for Creative players and command blocks.

Finding Mooshroom Spawn Eggs in Creative Mode

Java Edition (All Versions)

The location of the spawn egg in the Creative Inventory menu changed between versions:

Version	Menu Location
1.8 to 1.19	Miscellaneous tab
1.19.3 to 1.20+	Spawn Eggs tab

Just search for “mooshroom” in the Creative search bar if you can’t find it manually.

Tips for Using Spawn Eggs

Right-click on the ground to spawn a mooshroom.
Spawn eggs work in Creative and Survival modes (if you have them).
You can use spawn eggs on Mob Spawners to change what mob they spawn. Just right-click the spawner with the egg.
Mooshrooms only spawn naturally in Mushroom Island biomes. Spawn eggs are the easiest way to get them elsewhere.
Red mooshrooms can be milked for mushroom stew. Brown mooshrooms are just visual variants.
