Finding and Identifying New Mushroom Variants

Locating Mushroom Biomes

Travel to mushroom biomes (mushroom fields or mushroom plains) to encounter the new variants. These biomes are relatively rare, so use the /locate command or explore coastlines where mushroom biomes commonly generate.

Recognizing the Variants

Once in a mushroom biome, look carefully at both brown and red mushrooms. You'll notice they now appear in multiple shapes and sizes rather than the uniform appearance in vanilla Minecraft. Brown mushrooms display a more varied color palette with subtle natural tones, while red mushrooms show different cap formations.

Harvesting and Collecting

Break mushrooms by hand or with any tool. The new variants drop as regular mushroom items—they function identically to vanilla mushrooms for crafting and breeding purposes, but their visual diversity makes them ideal for building. Collect several variants to use in your builds for added visual interest.

Using Variants in Building

Place mushrooms in your world to see how different variants look together. Mix and match shapes and sizes to create natural-looking mushroom forests or decorative gardens. The visual variety helps break up repetitive patterns in large mushroom installations.
