Mushroom Colonies are two growing blocks added by Farmer's Delight: the Brown Mushroom Colony and the Red Mushroom Colony. Each has four growth stages and yields mushrooms of its colour when harvested. Colonies generate naturally in mushroom biomes and are used as an ingredient in Cutting Boards recipes.

Obtaining

Colonies are not crafted. No crafting recipe produces them, so they are obtained from the world.

Each colony type is placed by a patch feature with a rarity filter of 1 in 15. Each patch makes up to 64 placement attempts in a 6-block horizontal and 3-block vertical spread. Patches generate in biomes with the c:is_mushroom tag, on Mycelium blocks. The patch can also contain vanilla brown or red mushrooms.

Usage

Each colony is stored with an age property from 0 to 3. The age sets the block's collision shape: stage 0 is the smallest, and stage 3 is the widest.

Growth

A colony gains one stage on a random tick when it sits on rich soil. A random tick has a 1 in 4 chance of advancing growth, subject to the normal crop-growth check. Rich soil is the only block in the pack's growable-on tag for colonies.

Bone meal raises the age by a random 1 or 2, capped at stage 3. It always succeeds on a colony below stage 3.

A colony can be placed on Mycelium or on a solid block when the light level at its position is below 13.

Harvesting

Right-clicking a colony at stage 1 or higher with a tool gives one of two results:

• Shears remove one stage and drop one mushroom. The colony stays in the world at the lower stage. The shears lose 1 durability.
• Knives reset the colony to stage 0 and drop one mushroom for each stage the colony had. A stage 3 colony yields three mushrooms. The knife loses 1 durability.

A stage 0 colony yields nothing from either tool. Colonies have a hardness of 0 and can be broken by any tool.

Crafting ingredient

A colony is the input to a cutting board recipe that turns one colony into five mushrooms of the matching colour. The recipe grid is shown in the table below.
