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
