Among the cutest mobs in Minecraft (alongside Goats and Polar Bears), is the elusive Minecraft Frog! This hoppity amphibian has drawn a lot of attention from the community since their release and their iconic center-stage role in the Minecraft LIVE trailer for 2022! The mob is incredibly unique in that it is a completely neutral mob and poses (almost) zero threat to any other mobs in the game besides its initial release where Frogs were accidentally eating Goats whole.
What Do Frogs Eat in Minecraft?
In Minecraft, frogs have a unique diet that includes two specific types of food: small slimes and tiny magma cubes. When frogs consume small slimes, they drop slimeballs, which can be useful for players in various crafting recipes. However, feeding frogs small magma cubes is where things get interesting—this action prompts the frog to produce Froglights, a rare and colorful light source in Minecraft.
How to Breed Frogs in Minecraft
To breed frogs, feed Slimeballs to two frogs; this will make them enter love mode. They will then move to the nearest water source and lay frogspawn, which will eventually hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles will mature into different frog types based on the biome they’re in, creating distinct frog colors.
- Temperate (Orange Frogs): Found in temperate biomes like plains, swamps, and forests. If tadpoles grow up in any of these moderate-temperature biomes, they’ll turn into orange frogs.
- Warm (White Frogs): Found in warm biomes such as deserts, jungles, and badlands. Tadpoles that grow in warm biomes will become white frogs.
- Cold (Green Frogs): Found in cold biomes like snowy tundras and frozen oceans. When tadpoles mature in these cold environments, they turn into green frogs.
How to Tame Frogs in Minecraft
While frogs can’t be fully tamed, you can interact with them by:
- Using Slimeballs to Attract Frogs: Holding slimeballs will cause frogs to follow you, making it easier to guide them.
- Attaching Leads to Frogs: You can use a lead to transport frogs around, whether it’s for breeding purposes or simply for adding frogs to a different biome.
How High Can Frogs Jump in Minecraft?
Minecraft frogs are excellent jumpers, able to leap up to 8 blocks high! This makes them capable of navigating terrain in unique ways, often seeking out light sources as they move. Watching their jumps is entertaining, especially if you’re building habitats with obstacles or lights.
