- The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20.2!
In this tutorial, we set out in search of Mushroom Islands and Frozen Oceans, two biomes with rare resources we haven't encountered in the series so far!
The Mushroom Island is home to Mycelium, a dirt variant with some unique properties. We explore how to grow giant mushrooms, how mycelium spreads to dirt, and what happens when Mycelium and Grass blocks are planted in the same place! We also discuss how the Mushroom Fields biome doesn't spawn hostile mobs (except for phantoms), and how players can use that to our advantage.
We also meet the inhabitants of the Mushroom Fields - Mooshrooms! These cow variants can be milked for regular milk and also mushroom stew. They drop raw beef and leather just like normal cows, but you can even shear them for some red mushrooms, and a rare brown variant can occur rarely during breeding, or if a mooshroom is struck by lightning!
Later, we head out to a Frozen Ocean biome to discuss the many types of ice blocks, how Ice differs from Packed Ice and Blue Ice, and why mining out an iceberg with Silk Touch might be a better approach than ice farming!

To help put the ice -> packed ice -> blue ice numbers into perspective:
One stack of blue ice, crafted from scratch, would require 3 full shulkers of regular ice!
It's like crafting gold blocks from gold nuggets, a gold farmer's usual annoyance, which will go away next year. The blue ice difficulty will stay, though, as it's "nuggets" are much slower to produce and harvest.
The ocean cave underneath the mushroom island was beautiful
Ice farms can also be built in snowy peaks, as the water freezing mechanic is present there as well, at least on Bedrock, not sure about Java. We can also find polar bears in snowy peaks, which is outstandingly funny. I need a way to set up a brawl between polar bears and goats.
Yes, mountain biomes (but not "hill" biomes) freeze standing water above a certain altitude in Java Edition as well. The first ice farm built in season 1 was located in the mountains near the industrial area.
I would pay good money to see that 😂😂😂
The Skeleton Trap Horse can spawn at lightning strikes even on mushroom islands which can then be triggered to spawn the mounted skeletons.
Many things can hapopen in mushroom biomes because they are not "natural" spawning. Zombie sieges and pillager patrols are explicitly excluded via a separate biome check, but for example raids can happen even if you enter an artificial village deep inland of a mushroom island.

While I agree, 72m/s or 259km/h or Mach 0.2 is still very impressive in a hand rowed wooden boat.

Can you speak English please?😂😂😂
My car doesn't go that fast :D
Love waking up to a new Pixlriffs vid. Such a relaxing way to start the day.
I went to a mushroom island in my current world after your suggestion of mining peacefully there. I have found 2 separate iron ore veins and it is nice to not to have to worry about watching my back!
21:46 THATS why i couldnt spawn water anywhere I want. I didnt know that after this many years of playing this game. Thank you!
And riding boats on frozen rivers, one of the best parts of the game.
I swear RUclips is stalking me. I got recommended this video after I explored both a mushroom island and glacier biome in Minecraft.
*stalking
get stocked!!!!!!!
Happens to me too. RUclips along with other social can see what you do and can hear what you talk about, so that it can recommend something that you like. You'll be surprised when you find out how many apps do this
If you think that's crazy...check out the recommendation tab ...stocker alert smfh.
@@SWEE40331I don't know where you heard that but it's not actually true
Can we take a moment to appreciate the water cave was under the island
Very amazing.
Nice looking Mushroom Isle! If anyone is curious; dungeon spawners work properly in this biome, so keep your eyes open for them beneath the surface.
I believe ice blocks can also be converted on top of water sources too... Since it is a solid space of liquid? Lol
Great season so far, Pix!
I was wondering about dungeon spawners. Thanks.
Another thing about Mushroom Biomes, mob spawners will still produce mobs while inside the boundaries of the biome.
Yeah, cuz different spawning rules. Spawners only require complete darkness in certain radius to spawn mobs, it doesn't look at if the biome it is in can spawn those mobs naturally. Spawner mobs are not considered a natural spawn, even when the spawner was naturally generated.
Same as dungeons in the deep dark, or the magma cube spawner of a bastion in a soul sand valley. Biomes (and some structures) only dictate *natural* mob spawning, that is mobs spawning 24 to 128 blocks away from the player by the usual rules. Things like monster spawners, phantoms, pillager patrols, or the wandering trader follow separate rules that are not tied to the biome or structure.
Quite aware, just adding clarification that was missed in the video for the newbies seeking to learn lolol
The huge mushroom island surrounded by ice is one of those locations on this seed that I discovered a while ago and really wanted to tell you about, but I know you don’t want spoilers. So pumped you found it!
That both mycelium and podzol allow planting and growing of large mushrooms at any light level is handy to know for mushroom farms, though podzol is a bit better suited for farming large mushrooms since it does not convert to dirt when a solid block is placed above it. Mycelium will allow you to grow a large mushroom, but the mycelium under the stem block will eventually convert to dirt while the podzol will not.
I was so happy that you addressed how nice mushroom stems are for building. I’ve been working on a build that uses mushroom stems, quartz, and calcite. It sounds crazy but the colors and textures do blend rather nicely… plus I love the wavy texture of the stems.
Something that deserved a one-line mention about Mycelium...like grass blocks, you need Silk Touch in order to collect them, a otherwise they revert to plain dirt.
pix i adore this series and ik you work really hard on it and spend a lot of time making it. that all being said- pls pls PLS finish the floor in the storage building the center just being stone and grass is driving me nuts🫠
3:06 the myth is on the hermitcraft season 7 were grian started a war between grass and mycelium 😂 the fact that they both have head quarters 😂😂😂 maybe it would better that i say
2 years ago when there was a war between a great biome they want a brown rocky disgusting dirt 😂
Skeleton horseman can spawn on Mushroom Fields biomes. They are the rainiest biome in the game, so there is an increased chance of lightning strike.
I love converting mushroom islands into an idyllic safe space. I have found them to be a great place for villager-powered farms. They are a great place for phantom farms due to the lack of hostile mobs at night. They are also great for farms built over ocean.
That underwater cave is the most unique and natural-like I've seen in Minecraft.
A note on passive mob spawning: When you are along in a world, you will typically not see any post-generation passive mob spawns, since your spawn chunks likely already exceed the passive mob cap.
Packed ice and regular (or even frosted) ice have the identical "slipperiness", only blue ice is different from the other variants.
This comment regarding passive mob spawning is unique to Java and not an issue on bedrock edition. I believe that is because bedrock edition doesn't have the active spawn chunk that Java does, but I rarely have an issue getting more passive mobs
@@riuphane I mean, this is a Java series, so…
@@TheRealWormbo just clarifying in case other bedrock players read your comment
I've learned so much about Physics when ice was introduced to Minecraft and you, Pixlriffs, expound on it.
Ooh, I didn't know mushroom biomes wouldn't spawn hostiles. Seems like an ideal spot to establish a village in that case.
Wow.. things I didn't know about minecraft. That why I watch The survival guide. Thank you 😊
One other thing about mushroom islands, they have some unique ore generation, producing a much higher quantity of lapis at higher elevation than normal.
Do you have a reputable source? I was not able to find one to verify this
That is not true. Mushroom island ores are the same as in most other biomes, and lapis in particular has absolutely no biome preference whatsoever.
Hey Pixl, Thanks for the eps!
I, as always, learned some new stuff years down the road. LOL I am a sight!!! Regarding use of different ice blocks. How you can milk mooshroom and get the soup. I like the water source blocks! I need to carry some of those around. Makes it easy to have water available to make obsidian out of lava on the road. 🙂 Not have to run back and forth to get water. :-) Hey, 4 to make an unending water source still you have to run back and forth 4 times if you have one bucket!!! :-) Having some ice to me is easier. I knew about the no spawning on it. The bad guys! LOL All kinds of new things. I forgot about making ice roads to transport. I had seen that before but just now remembered!!! Thank you Pixl!!! I may have to do a Minecraft dictionary - hey now that's an idea!!! Or do they have one? Hmmmmm???? LOL Hey, no making fun of an old granny!!! :-) Thanks loads though! I watched several of your survival guides when I first started playing (under a different name) and then you quit for a while. Then I discovered you were back doing them. Yah!
It is impossible for dripstone caves to generate below a mushroom island. They generate in areas of high continentalness values, away from oceans.
Deep dark also won't happen because it needs mountainous terrain which doesn't exist in ocean biomes
I wish we could strip the mushroom blocks with our Axe like we can with wood. Also if we could then collect the stripped mushroom block.
I haven't finished the video but if he didn't mention it already the blocks can be placed and destroyed to leave the porous inside texture showing
if i remember correctly, you can get a brown mooshroom when a lightning hit a red mooshroom :)
get your channeling tridents ready!
I remember when mycelium would even grow underwater, all my rivers eventually over grew with it
Want to add that the skeletons (can't remember the name) that spawn on horses during thunderstorm can also spawn. Had that happen to me on my mushroom isle base. Fortunately I was inside a build away to get something so I wasn't attacked but when I came out it was a surprise.
Great video and I've learned about a new grass block too. After all these years playing the game, and it shows there's always something new you can learn about it.
I'm going to farm some of this, as I think it would great with my desert village transformation I'm doing. I'm hoping the biome won't change it when I place it down.
And something else I've thought of, replacing the floors of my zombie and skeleton farms. See if it alters anything.
The mob spawning and grass colour are very much dependant on the mushroom field biome so desert grass will always be dry looking and mob spawner mechanics are unchanged by mycelium (although some random mobs will not spawn on mycelium because they require grass or dirt and this may help with your farms)
Foliage color always is either constant (e.g. for spruce/azalea leaves) or biome-dependent. Blocks that change color based on biome will always take on the biome's color, because you don't "move" blocks, you break them to obtain an item (which notably stacks with items from blocks broken in different biomes) and you create new blocks when you use the block items.
A fun fact: Frozen Oceans of Java and Bedrock are kinda different, because the entire surface of the biome is already covered with ice in Bedrock unlike in Java
You can occasionally find hostile mobs spawning underneath a mooshroom biome if there happens to be a spawner that generated there.
Yeah, it’s definitely a clue that there are spawners around! I had a couple of zombie spawners below a mushroom island base in Decidedly Vanilla S5
In general, "special" monster spawning mechanics still work; this is why you can get phantoms, for example, and (theoretically) ender mites, and yes, anything that comes out of a spawner. It's only the routine "random" monster spawning that doesn't happen.
@@jonadabtheunsightly Skeleton Trap horses can spawn on mushroom islands which can then spawn the mounted the skeletons.
24:54 For episodes like that, are you planning to hold off until 1.21 is released? That will change the dynamics of ice farm automation to some extent.
The tricky part about ice farming is not the crafting, but the formation and harvesting of the ice blocks, which will not change with the arrival of the crafter.
oh good, he is back to his old self again! last i saw you, i think you had a small (but very funny) identity crises. ;)
As far as I know, you'll never have a deep dark biome show up under a mushroom fields biome as the two biomes are exclusive based on their world requirements. Mainly, the requirement of deep dark biomes being under a mountainous biome precludes the areas a mushroom field biome can be at.
Still doesn't stop me from seed searching for one though. That would be awesome.
I've probably only seen LARGE Mushroom biomes two or three times (in the dozens of worlds I've tried).
They were pretty cool, but I never much did anything with them. (Other than use them as a "safe space" to hang out at night.)
I think one or two of them were also mostly surrounded by ice ocean biomes.
I forget if you have mentioned cobblestone generators in this series...but now that you have blue ice, I presume you'll mention basalt generators? :-)
Fun fact: if you build a blue ice path in the nether and go full speed on it you could go roughly 2,073 Kph (~1,288 mph) in the overworld. In the nether it’s less cool while only being about 259 kph (161 mph). This is because one block in the nether is the equivalent to 8 blocks in the overworld.
im so excited to watch the video!
The fact that the wandering trader had small dripleaf for sale! Just a couple years late for empire season 1!
hi pix love your videos from morocco
How much does a polar bear weigh? Just enough to break the ice! lol
nice vid btw
Sheesh! Never watched a video as soon it got released
I set up a base on a mushroom island 2 or 3 years ago. iirc, I (Bedrock player) had no issue with phantoms even when working day and night. The only issue I had was the drowned crawling out of the ocean to come knock on my door.
Same.
Built a house by the ocean and they kept wandering up. I fixed it by putting a line of magma blocks in the water near the shore to suck them down and block they couldn't swim up over because of the bubble column. They either turned around or burned on the magma block.
@@PromptCriticalJellothat's a great solution. I gave up on that world fairly quickly bc I was getting frustrated with no easy access to essentials like string, bones and gunpowder.
@@imperfectimp I don't think of the mushroom island as a place to farm. I love it as a place to make a base and build with out having to spawn proof everything. You can have dark corners in your base that don't spawn mobs. It's great for creating an atmosphere for a build without having to worry about creepers trolling you.
With a few well placed lightning rods i can let the imported villagers roam free, for the most part. (drowned work in iron farms as well as regular zombies btw)
The mob farm goes out in the ocean to AFK as needed.
@@PromptCriticalJello I'm a bit old school and don't like large automatic farms. On my current almost 1 year old world I literally only have an iron, pumpkin and wool farm.
So if there's no mobs spawning naturally I'm kinda stuck, which is why I gave up on that world.
But yeah, for more technical players mushroom islands are great.
I was exploring an ocean and I found an mushroom island and I saw an weird building inside of an iceberg and it had an chest with an unbreaking 3 fishing rod (for me it may be different for others) and I made my base in that weird structure as I thought it was cool! And the fact that the frozen ocean spawned right next to the mushroom island was cool! But I can't seem to find answers online so can anyone help me identify it? Also BTW the seed is -777136181
And coords to this is 676(X) and 1691(Z) Y doesn't really matter!
If it was made out of stone bricks / other "stone-like" blocks, and had lots of gravel, then it was probably a cold ocean ruin that ended up being placed on the glacier! If it was instead made of wood, then it was probably a shipwreck!
Hey Pix!! I wish they made giant warped mushrooms in the nether. That would be a nice touch...
You mean like when you bonemeal a warped fungus on warped nylium? That exists already in warped forest biomes.
@@TheRealWormbo oh haha didn't know that. Thanks Wormbo!!
imagine the ice farms now we have the crafter coming
Hmm. Ice farm(a large one!)+allays collecting+crafter==packed and/or blue ice generation...
Crafting is not the difficult part about ice farms, it's generating and harvesting the amounts of ice that would make a crafter worth the effort.
@@TheRealWormbo IIRC, someone (I'm wanting to say xisumavoid, though it might have been someone else) has already solved the generation end of things with a large-scale ice farm that pushes the top layer down to form a giant ice slab under the farm...but harvesting did still have to be done by hand. (Hmm...I don't recall anyone testing what happens with plain ice and explosives...though I'd presume it would just turn to water, not drop ice blocks)
@@VulpisFoxfire Oh I'm aware that ice farms exist, and X's is still on the smaller scale. Tech servers have build those things at a much more stupid scale, such that the player remains stationary and has ice pushed into their mining range at all times, requiring a portal pigman farm behind them to keep the pickaxe from breaking.
What I was trying to say is that the crafting part of your usual ice farms is the least complicated part. It's breaking the required amounts of ice that makes things difficult.
This is Good 👍
Me and my girlfirend love watching your uploads Pix, thanks for the MC knowledge
Icy biomes are why I really hoped the penguin would make the cut :(
With auto crafting it will be possible to build an 'automatic' ice farm which converts ice to packed ice and then to blue ice.
Yep, I think the Crafter is going to make AFK ice farms much more valuable. Although it'll still take a super long time to obtain a worthwhile amount of blue ice.
I dunno if you mentioned this, but placing mushroom blocks next to each other and breaking one doesn't reveal the spore texture on bedrock!
When you were talking about farming ice, do you think the new crafter block would be efficient for that?
Sea level is phantoms? That is something I didn't know. Theoretically you could build a retaining wall and drop the island below sea level and none would spawn?
On Java, yes. The player has to be above Y=64 and has sky access for phantoms to spawn.
A typical case is a cleared ocean monument - it's entirely below sea level and you won't ever get phantoms as long as you are in the bounding box, because it's entirely below sea level. (Don't get too comfortable, though - pillager patrols can still spawn, even inside the bounding box.)
Mushroom stew straight from a mooshrooms udder makes me uncomfortable lol
Then better don't think about how you are able to get milk and stew from the same cow…
Pix, I’ve mimicked your Pixandria road pallet for two years. Kinda curious what kind of road you will do.
You should also make an episode about banners and armour trims
He needs all the items for the banner patters before he will do an episode.
Am I the only one that gets a little creeped out by Mooshroom eyes?
Do phantoms spawn in mushroom islands?
I shouldve just watched the video thoroughly lol
Not something I have tried but if several blocks of mycelium were moved to another biome would Mooshroom cows spawn on it, or do they only spawn in the Mooshroom biome
It has to be a mycelium block in a mushroom fields biome. They won’t spawn elsewhere in the world.
The spawnable mob pool is a property of the biome and some structures (e.g. ocean monument, witch hut, ancient city, nether fortress) override the pool. But then each mob additionally has various spawn conditions. For most land animals that's a certain minimum light level and a grass block below, except for mooshrooms it's mycelium instead of grass.
I found a mushroom island with ice peaks next to it. If that isn't coincidence...
It is. You could as well have run into pufferfish in a lukewarm ocean next to the island. The ocean just needs to be deep (which is why warm oceans are typically not directly adjacent, as they still don't generate a deep variant).
I’ve found that mushroom island biomes and iceberg biomes do commonly generate near each other. is this an actual part of the game, or a coincidence?
I don't think it's planned.
I'm a mushroom island baser. (I love being able to build without having to spawn proof every thing.)
What i've seen seems to indicate that mushroom islands are more likely to generate in deep oceans. Not exclusively, just more likely. Since there is no Deep Warm Ocean biome, it shifts the probabilities a little toward the colder biomes surrounding it.
No empirical evidence to support the idea, just some observation on my part.
It just happens. Mushroom islands always generate where there's usually deep oceans, but the ocean temperature isn't really relevant. For example the server I play on has a ginormous horseshoe-shaped mushroom island that is surrounded by deep regular and lukewarm ocean.
Wake up babe, new survival guide episode just dropped.
istg, i JUST found a mushroom island with a glacier biome just beside it.
Why is this man not at a million yet ... what are you people doing ... you know you minecraft knowledge came from thos man ... just click the dam button 🙄 😒
Can you farm the mycelium outside of the biome?
Yes. Place a mycelium block by dirt blocks and it will spread like grass in any biome. Just like grass it needs a good light level to spread.
Notably, same as grass, nominal skylight is enough for it to spread, even during the night.
What are coordinates of that massive island?
Packed ice was renamed a while ago to compressed ice. Just saying. 😂
If you use the UK English language pack, yes.
Default (English US) and the game ID still calls it Packed Ice.
