Q&A for How to Make a Mushroom House in Minecraft

Mushroom blocks are both fire and creeper resistant. That's a good deal.

If you are using it as a temporary home when you are far away from your normal house looking for resources, or if it is a starter home on a new world, it works fine. It really depends on how big the mushroom you grow is, and what you are using it for.

You can, but it arouses suspicion, so be careful of location.

Yes, you can pick it up with any tool with the silk touch enchantment, just be careful using the wrong tool (like mining stone with a shovel), as it runs down your durability faster.

Yes, you can have a variety of mushrooms together and they will look natural.

Not on purpose. If you climb a ladder, they will follow you, but that's the only way. Otherwise, they won't.

The bone meal acts like fertilizer, and it causes the mushroom to grow into a giant one.

No, you cannot obtain mushroom blocks, even using Creative. You can only use commands to place them.

Yes, you can. Just be reminded that you need to make something to get up in to the mushroom afterward.

You can grow mushrooms there if the ceiling is high enough. Make sure that the floor is stone or dirt.

Yes, you can make a pillar up to there, a staircase, or slime blocks if you can make it so that it flings you into your home.

In daytime, you can place it on podzol and mycelium, but it only grows in caves during day otherwise. You can find mycelium on Mushroom Islands, but they are very rare! Podzol is found in those giant spruce trees biome with the mossy cobblestone, and you can find mushrooms in the nether as well!

Of course! Just be sure to use a Silk Touch enchanted tool to obtain it! Happy building!

It is the mushroom stem, you can get mushrooms from them.

Usually not, but sometimes they do, make sure to have a trapdoor at the top to prevent them from getting in.

Of course! Make sure you follow proper protocol in the nether; wear a piece of gold armor, have plenty of cobblestone, bring fire resistance potions and other tools as well.

Sure, but if you want to make a hidden house, other players will see the bridge and try to give you grief.

They spawn in the mushroom biomes, which is rare and have useless animals such as the brown mushroom.

There isn't space, if you put them in then it would obstruct the walkway. If you want a larger one then you can build a mushroom yourself.

If you really want, though trapdoors and ladders have very different functions.

No, they don't work like that. If you want a larger mushroom you'll have to build it yourself.

As long as it is big enough, you can use a red or brown mushroom for your house.

Use a trap door to separate your floor from the ladder. If you don't have a trap door, you can cover the hole with a random block (like dirt) while you're inside the house.

Yes, you can! I would use the cobblestone walls for it, plus a campfire, surrounded with trapdoors.

You can find the silk touch enchantment in naturally generated structures that have a chance at spawning randomly enchanted books, such as desert temples, strongholds, or dungeons. You can also trade with a village librarian, who may offer you the silk touch enchantment for a book and x amount of emeralds. The last option would be to use an enchantment table, and hopefully get silk touch on one of your tools.

You can extend the mushroom with mushroom blocks, but this is typically unnecessary. Mushroom houses are built as 1-night survival shelters, and don't need to be too big; just big enough to hold the essentials.

No naturally-spawned hostile mob will be able to break through your trapdoor entrance.

It is already mob resistant. Creepers might blow up your ladders, so you can add traps.

Yes, it is fire resistant. As well, it is mob resistant. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

In creative mode, just go to your building materials and choose mushroom. Then clear an area and plant it away from other mushrooms.
