i am playing skyblock survival and one of the objectives is to build 10 bookcases. the problem is you now need cows to make books and no cows can spawn on the island. another problem is i need to grow a giant red mushroom and you need mycelium to grow mushrooms and there is none on the island. my question is should i just cross out these tasks or should i wait until i can get the to many items mod to give myself the stuff. please reply
You just need to preserve some grass early on and let it grow to be a platform larger than 4x4. Then just hang out more than 16 blocks away and things will spawn.
For a mushroom, you just need dirt that is covered above with 6 spaces between, and need to use bonemeal.
I stand corrected, already looked up the case and indeed they can spawn. BUT it is incredably rare. You can spend many minecraft day, month years in skyblock without it happening. Main reason for this you have very little dirt and a some is needed for farming. The chance of animals spawning on that piece of grass is very small. And then you have to hope it is a cow...
Oh by the way, next time please tell me in a more friendly way to read the wiki.
first off all you said "Cows will only spawn with newly generated chunks" lie number 1 then we have you saying the only way to get it is to cheat it in, and thats a lie too
