Mussel
Mussels are mollusks found scattered across the Abyssal Chasm.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Mussels are most commonly found on the Deepslate boulders at the bottom of the Abyssal Chasm, but they may also spawn in Tube Worm colonies or on the walls of the Chasm itself.
Mussels can be mined with a pickaxe, dropping either themselves or a Pearl. Every time a group of Mussels is mined, the number of Mussels in the block lowers by one. Using a Fortune pickaxe increases the chance of receiving Pearls, while using a Silk Touch pickaxe guarantees the Mussel drop.
Marine Snow
Using Marine Snow on a Mussel increases the number of Mussels in the block by one, making them renewable. However, this doesn't work if there are already 5 Mussels in the block, or if the Mussels are outside of water.
Usage
Decoration
Mussels can be placed on any side of a block, even outside of water. Up to 5 Mussels can be placed in one block.
Cooking
Mussels can be cooked in a furnace, smoker or campfire to obtain Cooked Mussels. Note that Cooked Mussels are eaten quickly similar to Dried Kelp.
