Minecraft:Frog

Template:Infobox entity A frog is a Minecraft:passive mob found in Minecraft:swamps and Minecraft:mangrove swamps. It performs large jumps, swims, and uses its long tongue to eat small Minecraft:slimes and small Minecraft:magma cubes. Minecraft:Froglights are created when frogs eat magma cubes; different frog types create different froglight colors.

Spawning

Frogs spawn in groups of two to five in Minecraft:swamp and Minecraft:mangrove swamp biomes.

Variants

Template:Redirect Frogs have three variants: temperate, cold, and warm. The variant is determined by the biome the frog spawns in, both naturally and when growing from a Minecraft:tadpole.

Natural spawning
Template:EntitySprite Temperate	Template:EntitySprite Warm	Template:EntitySprite Cold
		Frogs do not naturally spawn within cold biomes, but cold frogs can spawn naturally in a swamp or mangrove swamp bordering a cold biome, and a tadpole can grow up in a cold biome.

Notes

Drops

On death

Frogs drop Template:Xp when killed by a Minecraft:player or tamed Minecraft:wolf.

Breeding

Template:Xp is dropped upon successful Minecraft:breeding.

Behavior

On land, frogs slowly wander, jumping at random. They can jump up to 8 blocks high and take Template:Hp less damage from falling than most other mobs. They prefer jumping on Minecraft:lily pads and Minecraft:big dripleaves, and usually jump to places that are higher up.

In water, frogs swim and move much faster. They generally swim upward and remain at the water's surface, but can swim downward if lured by a player. Frogs do not take Minecraft:drowning damage.

Occasionally, they may croak and inflate their vocal sac.

Breeding

Template:Main Frogs follow any player holding a Minecraft:slimeball within 6 blocks of them.

Feeding two frogs a slimeball causes them to enter love mode, causing one of the frogs to become pregnant, similar to Minecraft:turtles. The pregnant frog then searches for a water block with at least one adjacent water block (flowing or source) with air above to lay their eggs, known as Minecraft:frogspawn. After 3-10 minutes, the frogspawn hatches and 2-6 Minecraft:tadpoles are spawned, which grow into frogs after 20 minutes.

Unlike all other mobs with baby variants, the tadpole is treated by the game as a completely different mob from the frog.

Furthermore, the biome in which the tadpoles grow into frogs determines their variant type, regardless of their parental variant type, a unique characteristic specific to frogs.

Attacking

Frogs attack by using their tongue to pull certain mobs into their mouth and eat them, whereupon the mob instantly despawns without a death animation.

Frogs attack small Minecraft:slimes, which drop Minecraft:slimeballs when killed.

Frogs also attack small Minecraft:magma cubes, producing a Minecraft:froglight block. When a magma cube gets targeted, the frog walks toward it at a faster pace before attacking. The color of froglight that drops depends on the variant of frog that eats the magma cube:

Frog variant	Froglight color
Template:EntitySprite Temperate	Template:BlockSprite Ochre
Template:EntitySprite Warm	Template:BlockSprite Pearlescent
Template:EntitySprite Cold	Template:BlockSprite Verdant

Frogs cannot be harmed by slimes or magma cubes, regardless of their size.

History

Trivia

• The warm frog is based on the grey foam-nest tree frog, a real-life species of frog native to Africa.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
• The temperate frog is based on brown bullfrogs.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref><ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
• Originally, frogs were meant to eat fireflies, but this was scrapped as in real life some fireflies are poisonous to some frogs. Instead, now they can eat small slimes and small magma cubes.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• During the frog's early development, the developers didn't know what the frog was going to eat, so they made the mouth huge. Some early ideas for what the frog was going to eat included Minecraft:bees.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
• At one point in Bedrock Edition's development, in beta 1.18.10.26, frogs could eat Minecraft:goats. However, this was later removed as it was leftover prototype code.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> This was later referenced in the trailer for Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2022, where a frog eats a goat.
• In Minecraft, all frogs are genderless and have Template:Ws. In real life, only male frogs can have vocal sacs.
• Frogs were first in the 2019 biome vote for swamps, but lost to the Mountains and swamp gained second place, then 2 years later at Minecraft Live 2021 they were announced to be coming to the game, and came to the game part of The Wild Update in 2022 3 years after being declined in the 2019 biome vote.
