Frogs in Minecraft
Frogs are passive animals with a unique life cycle - from egg to tadpole to frog. Depending on the rearing biome, a different color variant is created, which produces bright frog lights in magma cubes.
Properties
-
Life - 10 (5 hearts)
-
Behavior - Bouncy, slow on land, faster in water
-
Sounds - Quacking, snapping
-
Can cross boulders like water lilies and live on land or in water
Variants
There are three frog variants, depending on the biome in which they grow:
-
White frogs (warm, e.g. jungle, desert)
-
Green frogs (cold, e.g. snow, taiga)
-
Orange frogs (temperate, e.g. swamp, plains)
-
The color is determined by the biome in which a tadpole grows - not by the parents!
Breeding
-
Food - Slime balls
-
Feeding two frogs → Heart particles → A frog lays frog eggs in the water
-
The eggs hatch into tadpoles (after a few minutes)
-
Tadpoles grow into frogs in the water
Benefit
-
Eat small slimes → drop slime balls
-
Eat small magma cubes → create frog lights (new, glowing blocks)
-
Orange frog → Ochre frog light
-
White frogs → Mother-of-pearl frog light
-
Green frogs → Green frog light
Tips
-
Hold tadpoles with a bucket of water to breed specific color variations
-
Use frogs to produce frog light (e.g. with magma cube farms in the Nether)
-
Provide nearby water areas for egg laying and breeding
Trivia
-
Frogs can jump over blocks like fences
-
They are the first animals with a complete life cycle (egg → tadpole → frog)
-
The inspiration for frogs comes from tropical species with different colors
