Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Brown Mushroom is a plant block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. A hardness of 0 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. It glows faintly at light level 1.
It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels. With a blast resistance of only 0 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
4 recipes call for it, including Fermented Spider Eye, Mushroom Stew, Rabbit Stew and 1 more.
About the brown set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 0, Brown Mushroom takes 0 seconds to punch out and 0 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, and on something this soft that reaches instant mining almost at once.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | instant | instant | instant |
| Wooden | instant | instant | instant |
| Stone | instant | instant | instant |
| Iron | instant | instant | instant |
| Diamond | instant | instant | instant |
| Netherite | instant | instant | instant |
| Golden | instant | instant | instant |
Properties
With 0 blast resistance Brown Mushroom goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and glows at light level 1. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
