Mechanics and Recipes
Mob Conversion
Many mobs in Earth2Java can be converted through player interaction: 1. Shearing: Mooblooms, Moolips, and Cluckshrooms can be sheared to return them to their base vanilla forms while providing their respective plants/fungi. 2. Mud Bathing: Leading a Pig into a Mud block will eventually trigger a transformation into a Muddy Pig. 3. Hydration: Splashing a Muddy Pig with a Water Bottle or pushing it into a water source will clean it, reverting it to a standard Pig.
