Minecraft frogs are a fun and interesting part of the game, introduced in The Wild Update. Whether you want to learn how to breed them, understand what they eat, or discover their cool abilities, this guide will explain it all!
Where Can You Find Minecraft Frogs?
Minecraft frogs live in swamps and mangrove swamps. They are peaceful animals, meaning they will not hurt you, and they spend a lot of time hopping around or swimming. There are three different types of frogs, and they come in different colors depending on the temperature of the biome:
- Orange frogs in normal biomes (for example Plains)
- White frogs in warm biomes (for example Deserts)
- Green frogs in cold biomes (for example Snowy Taiga)

What Do Frogs Eat in Minecraft?
In Minecraft, frogs eat slimeballs. This is the main food they like, and you can use slimeballs to lead frogs, heal them, and breed them.
To get slimeballs, you need to find slimes, which are hostile mobs that spawn in swamp biomes at night or in specific chunks known as slime chunks (usually found underground). When you defeat slimes, they split into smaller versions, and eventually, the smallest slimes drop slimeballs. You can collect these slimeballs and use them to feed frogs.
In addition, Minecraft frogs also eat small magma cubes and small slimes!

How to Breed Frogs in Minecraft?
How to breed frogs in Minecraft? It is easy! You just need to feed two frogs slimeballs, and they will enter "love mode". After that, they will lay eggs on the water, these eggs are called frogspawn. These eggs will hatch into tadpoles.

Frogs lay frogspawn in water after breeding, which later hatches into tadpoles. Tadpoles eventually grow into frogs, and their color depends on the biome they mature in. This adds another layer of fun to breeding frogs, as you can transport tadpoles to different biomes to get various frog types.

How to Tame a Frog in Minecraft
Many players wonder can you tame frogs in Minecraft? The short answer is no. While you can not exactly "tame" frogs like other animals, you can still lead them by holding a slimeball. The frog will follow you, so you can guide it to different areas, especially if you want to transport them to new biomes.
Minecraft Frog Mechanics
Frogs in Minecraft have impressive movement abilities. They can leap up to 8 blocks high, making them one of the highest-jumping mobs in the game. This ability allows them to easily clear obstacles like fences.
In water, frogs move faster than on land, effortlessly navigating swamps and rivers, which makes it easier for them to find places to lay their frogspawn.
Despite their high jumps, frogs take no fall damage, so they can leap from tall structures without getting hurt. These mechanics make them highly adaptable and agile in both land and water environments.
Minecraft Frog Lights
One of the coolest features of frogs in Minecraft is their ability to produce Frog Lights. These light-emitting blocks are created when a frog eats a small magma cube, making them both unique and useful for lighting up areas in the game.
There are three types of Frog Lights, and the color of the light depends on the type of frog that consumes the magma cube:
- Pearlescent Froglight (Magenta) from white frogs.
- Verdant Froglight (Green) from green frogs.
- Ochre Froglight (Yellow) from orange frogs.
Farming Frog Lights requires creating a setup where you can get small magma cubes. Typically, you will need to go to the Nether, lure magma cubes to an area where frogs are, and let the frogs do the work. Once the frogs eat the small magma cubes, they drop the Froglights, which you can then collect.

In summary, Minecraft frogs are fascinating creatures with unique jumping, swimming, and breeding mechanics. Their ability to produce Froglights adds a fun twist to gameplay.
