Life as a Minecraft Mob

Mooshroom

I would love living in the mushroom biome. I would rejoice at the fact that there are no hostile mobs here. I would enjoy relaxing all day. But those other mooshrooms won't let me.

Why? Because I have a human whose name is LandonFleury. The other mooshrooms don't like that, and bully me for it. They exclude me from their meet ups. They exclude from their parties. And I'm left sitting in my mushroom home where Landon and I live, listening miserably to the sounds of partying mooshrooms all night because I don't have a bed.

Of course, I love Landon, and he loves me. It's just... sometimes, I want to be like the others.

I remember the day we met. It was a clear day, and I was just eating some mushrooms while chatting to my friends. Then he arrived.

He was in full diamond armour, wielding a diamond sword. We had never seen a human before, so naturally, we were terrified. We had heard tales of evil creatures known as creepers, and feared that this being was one of them.

But he didn't explode, or attack. Instead, he stared at me. He held out a piece of wheat. It looked delicious, and I tried to get a bite. He walked further and further away, but I kept on following him, hoping to try some of it.

Eventually we came to a small house on the edge of the biome, made from many mushrooms growing together. Before I knew it, he had put the wheat away and blocked me in a tiny glass cage with no way out.

I got to know LandonFleury, and our relationship grew. We became great friends. He soon let me roam free around the house while he went out to mine and fight mobs. I used to go outside, but the other mooshrooms bullied me so much that now I don't want to.

Just because I have a human. That's the sole reason. Do I not have eyes? Do I not have the same outside and inside? Do I not eat the same food, do the same things, love, hate, avenge? I'm exactly the same as them. So why do they bully me?

They're jealous, I tell myself. Jealous of the fact I have a human, someone who looks after me. Is that the reason, though? Are they perhaps scared of me now that I have a human to take care of my enemies?

I still don't know. Sometimes I want to be a hostile mob. I'd like to be an endermen. If I was an enderman, I would be able to pick up blocks, so I'd never be trapped. I'd be able to teleport, too, and I'd be really strong. Yeah... an enderman would be amazing.

But unless a miracle happens, or it's true that you can wish on shooting stars, I'm still a mooshroom, and I'll stay like that until the day I die.

Except if I get sheared and I become a cow.

LandonFleury would never do that, though. I'm too valuable to him. After all, I feed him, and provide him with his daily dose of calcium, and look pretty for him.

At least Landon is a good friend, unlike the mooshrooms. Even though he's a completely different species to me, he's still my best friend.
