Frog
Frog — mob.
Spawning
Frogs spawn in swamps and mangrove swamps; the variant depends on the temperature of the place where the tadpole grows. The adult therefore keeps the result of a relocation decision rather than choosing a colour at random.
| Spawn locations | Swamp and mangrove swamp |
|---|---|
| Variant source | Tadpole growth temperature |
| Spawn condition | A valid frog-spawnable block with enough light |
| Spawn substrate | `#minecraft:frogs_spawnable_on` |
| Variant selection | Biome temperature tags when the frog finishes spawning |
Drops
The frog entity loot table is empty. Its important output is created by behaviour: attacking a small magma cube produces a froglight whose colour follows the frog variant.
| Entity loot table | entities/frog.json |
|---|---|
| Cold variant output | Verdant froglight |
| Temperate variant output | Ochre froglight |
| Warm variant output | Pearlescent froglight |
Breeding
Frogs are tempted and bred with slimeballs. After breeding, the frog lays frogspawn near water; frogspawn produces tadpoles, and a bucket lets the player move a tadpole to a different climate before it grows.
Tongue and froglights
The frog's tongue targets entities in the frog-food tag. It can eat small magma cubes; that interaction creates a froglight whose colour follows the frog's variant. Larger cubes are ignored by the food predicate.
| Food entity tag | `#minecraft:frog_food` |
|---|---|
| Small magma cube | Accepted |
| Large magma cube | Ignored |
| Cold variant output | Verdant froglight |
| Temperate variant output | Ochre froglight |
| Warm variant output | Pearlescent froglight |
Sounds
The frog has distinct ambient, hurt, death, step, long-jump, croak, tongue, eating and spawn-laying events. Its movement and croak cues use the neutral animal sound category rather than a hostile source.
| Ambient | `entity.frog.ambient` |
|---|---|
| Hurt | `entity.frog.hurt` |
| Death | `entity.frog.death` |
| Step | `entity.frog.step` |
| Long jump | `entity.frog.long_jump` |
| Tongue | `entity.frog.tongue` |
| Eat | `entity.frog.eat` |
| Lay spawn | `entity.frog.lay_spawn` |
Behavior
Frogs are amphibious animals that jump, swim, croak, and use a tongue attack. Their brain switches between land, water, breeding, tongue, and long-jump activities; the long jump reaches up to two blocks high and four blocks wide.
The entity stores its registry variant and tongue target separately. Its server tick updates the brain and activity state, while the renderer chooses one of the three variant textures and copies the jump, croak, tongue and swim animation states.
