In the ever-expansive realm of Minecraft, players often seek out rare and unique resources to elevate their creations. Mycelium, a mysterious and visually striking block, is one such item that can add an intriguing touch to your Minecraft world.
This tutorial will guide you through the process of obtaining mycelium, an endeavor that involves exploration, enchantments, and careful mining.
How to Get Mycelium
Mycelium cannot be crafted using a crafting table or furnace; instead, it must be gathered from the Mushroom Island biome. Follow these steps to add this elusive block to your inventory:
1. Find a Block of Mycelium
Mycelium is primarily found in the Mushroom Island biome, distinguished by its purple dirt-like appearance. Embark on a journey to locate this biome in your Minecraft world.
2. Hold a Tool with Silk Touch
To successfully mine mycelium, you need a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. This enchantment ensures that the block drops itself when mined, preserving its unique characteristics. The following tools can be enchanted with Silk Touch:
- Pickaxe (Diamond, Golden, Iron, Stone, Wooden, Netherite)
- Shovel (Diamond, Golden, Iron, Stone, Wooden, Netherite)
- Axe (Diamond, Golden, Iron, Stone, Wooden, Netherite)
In this example, we’ll use an Iron Pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch.
3. Mine the Block of Mycelium
Execute the mining process based on your Minecraft version’s controls:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac): Left-click and hold on the block of mycelium.
- For Pocket Edition (PE): Tap and hold on the block of mycelium.
- For Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10 Edition, and Education Edition: Follow platform-specific control instructions, such as pressing and holding the designated button like ZR, R2 and RT.
As you mine the mycelium block, a smaller block of mycelium will float on the ground.
4. Pick up the Mycelium
Swiftly pick up the freshly mined mycelium before it disappears. Once collected, it seamlessly integrates into your hotbar. Mycelium is a rare and coveted item, deserving a place in your inventory for future use.
