Cold frog

The green frog and two other types of frogs were among the three mobs whose appearance in the game could be voted for by users at Minecon Live 2019. But then she took only second place, and therefore was not added to the game. Only 3 years after the event, the cold frog and the other types were added to the Java Edition.

The cold frog is a small mob of light beige color, the size of which is approximately 0.5*0.5 blocks. The frog has 10 health units, which corresponds to 5 hearts. He can jump to a height of 3 blocks and, if he falls, he does not receive damage. The green frog has an interesting animation of inflating the throat bag and croaks periodically. If the frog does not jump, it moves using all four paws alternately.

The cold frog feeds on clots of mucus that stimulate the reproduction process, small magma cubes, after which it leaves a drop block of green froglight, and small slugs, after eating which it leaves clots of mucus.

Green frogs can be found near a water source, which they need for reproduction. They spawn in groups of up to five individuals. Frogs can live at a distance from reservoirs, but they will not be able to lay eggs in this case.

Green frogs can be grown from tadpoles. Tadpoles appear from eggs laid by frogs. In order for this to happen, two adult frogs and a water source nearby are needed. Each of the frogs needs to be fed a clot of mucus, after which the reproduction process starts. One of the frogs will approach the pond and caviar will appear on the surface of the water near the shore, from which tadpoles will appear after a while. After another 8-10 minutes, the tadpole will turn into an adult frog. This process can be accelerated if you feed the tadpole with clots of mucus. It is impossible to accelerate the maturation of eggs.

If the source of water is far away during the reproduction of green frogs, the frogs will not look for it, but will wander aimlessly around the world, then the breeding process will be canceled.

The type of frog does not depend either on the type of "parent" or on the biome in which the frog laid eggs. A snow frog will grow out of a tadpole only if the tadpole is in one of the cold biomes at the moment of transformation into a frog:

• Snow-covered taiga
• Tundra
• Frozen Ocean

For example, if a tadpole that appeared in a temperate biome is transferred in a bucket to a cold biome, then a snow frog will grow out of it.

The green froglight is a decorative block that was added in The Wild Update. The color of the froglight block depends on the type of frog. The green froglight drops out in the form of a drop after the green frog eats a small cube of magma.

The green froglight in the game can only be obtained as a drop of snow frogs, it does not have a crafting recipe. So far it has no use or function other than decorative. This block is unique and very beautiful, it generates a lighting level of 15, which is the highest lighting level in the game.

Many players create farms with one or different types of frogs in order to get blocks of frogs of all possible colors for the decoration of the dwelling. This was facilitated by the ability to lead a frog on a leash or lure it with a clot of mucus in your hand. If a frog is tied to a fence on a leash, it will not escape.

• The color of the frogs that emerged from the summon egg or were summoned by the summon team will depend on the current biome. If you need a frog of a certain color, you can specify this when calling with the command.
• Frogs can attack and eat small slugs and lava cubes. The attack mechanics of the frog differs from the attacks of other mobs: the frog throws out its long tongue and attracts the victim to its mouth with it, and she disappears, leaving behind a drop in the form of slime or frog light.
