NBT Tags for Mooshroom in Minecraft (Java Edition 1.10)

This Minecraft tutorial explains the NBT tags (formerly called data tags) that you can use for a mooshroom in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.10.

TIP: If you are not running Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.10, find NBT tags for mooshroom in another version of Minecraft:

Background

In Minecraft Java Edition 1.10, the entity value for a mooshroom is MushroomCow. The MushroomCow entity has a unique set of data tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon, /entitydata, /give, /fill, /setblock, /testfor.

What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?

NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as MushroomCow). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {CustomName:Moo}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {CustomName:Moo, Age:-25000}.

List of NBT Tags

Here is a list of the NBT tags that you can use for MushroomCow in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.10:

Example
{Age:0} example for adult
{Age:-25000} example for baby

ForcedAge

ArmorItems

Since a mooshroom does not wear armor, you can use this data tag to list 4 items that you want the mooshroom to drop when it is killed (4 custom drops)

Syntax
ArmorItems:[{Count:1,id:item}, {Count:1,id:item}, {Count:1,id:item}, {Count:1,id:item}]

Example
{ArmorItems:[{Count:3,id:redstone}, {Count:1,id:golden_horse_armor}, {Count:2,id:iron_ingot}, {Count:7,id:gold_ingot}]}

ArmorDropChances

The drop chances for each of the 4 items listed in ArmorItems. A value of 1.0f means 100% chance of the item being dropped when the mooshroom is killed, 0.5f means 50%, 0.2f means 20%, and so on.

Example
{ArmorDropChances:[1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f]}

UUIDLeast

A number that specifies the right half of the UUID for the mooshroom (use UUIDLeast and UUIDMost to target/find a particular mooshroom in the game)

Example
{UUIDLeast:-6645587150281567948L}

UUIDMost

A number that specifies the left half of the UUID for the mooshroom (use UUIDLeast and UUIDMost to target/find a particular mooshroom in the game)

Example

id

MushroomCow (The entity value used to represent a mooshroom in the EntityTag or Passengers tag)

Example
{id:MushroomCow}

Passengers

The mob that is riding on the mooshroom. Use the entity value for the passenger mob

Example of skeleton as passenger
Passengers:[{id:Skeleton}]

NBT Tag Examples

To summon a mooshroom that is named Moo:

/summon MushroomCow ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:Moo}

To summon a baby mooshroom that is named Cutie:

/summon MushroomCow ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:Cutie, Age:-25000}

To summon a mooshroom that has 4 custom drops (3 redstone, 1 gold horse armor, 2 iron ingot and 7 gold ingot). Use a command block to run this command:

/summon MushroomCow ~ ~1 ~ {ArmorItems:[{Count:3,id:redstone}, {Count:1,id:golden_horse_armor}, {Count:2,id:iron_ingot}, {Count:7,id:gold_ingot}], ArmorDropChances:[1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f]}

To give the closest player a mooshroom spawn egg in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.10:

/give @p spawn_egg 1 0 {EntityTag:{id:MushroomCow}}

Target Selectors

Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=MushroomCow value, you can target mooshrooms:

@e[type=MushroomCow]

You can also add a radius value to target mooshrooms within a certain radius of blocks (for example, r=5 lets you target mooshrooms within a 5 block radius of where the command is run):

@e[type=MushroomCow,r=5]

Target Selector Examples

To change all mooshrooms to baby mooshrooms within a 5 block radius:

/entitydata @e[type=MushroomCow,r=5] {Age:-25000}

To test for all mooshrooms within a 50 block radius:

/testfor @e[type=MushroomCow,r=50]

To summon a lightning bolt at all mooshrooms:

/execute @e[type=MushroomCow] ~ ~ ~ /summon LightningBolt

To kill all mooshrooms:

/kill @e[type=MushroomCow]
