“Placing Blocks with Block States!”

How to Set Up the Command Blocks

Command entered in the Command Block:

Command Block A

Block Type: Repeat / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[type=mooshroom] at @s run tp @s ^^^0.1 facing @e[family=mob,type=!mooshroom,c=1]

➡️ This makes the mooshroom slowly approach the nearest mob.

Command Block B

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[type=mooshroom] if block ~~-0.1~ air run tp ~~-0.1~
➡️ This makes sure the mooshroom stays on the ground and doesn’t float in the air.

Command Block C

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[type=mooshroom] at @s run setblock ~~-1~ red_mushroom_block["huge_mushroom_bits"=1]
➡️ This creates a visual effect where the mooshroom leaves a trail of red mushroom blocks.

Command Block D

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[type=mooshroom] at @s run tag @e[family=mob,type=!mooshroom,r=2] add target

➡️ This marks other mobs near the mooshroom with a target tag, creating the effect of a spreading infection.

Command Block E

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[tag=target] at @s run summon mooshroom
➡️ This creates a visual effect where the “infected” mob transforms into a mooshroom.

Command Block F

Block Type:Chain / Redstone: Always Active
/execute as @e[tag=target] at @s run tp ~~-999~
➡️ The result: This makes the original infected mob disappear from the screen, completing the transformation effect.
