Since Minecraft ‘s Wild Update , frogs and water lilies have been floating in the swamps of the Overworld . And the truth is that this new species regularly accompanies us on our travels through the mangrove swamps . Frogs are completely harmless, but that doesn’t mean we can’t interact with them and their tadpoles. In fact, the game allows us to feed them and even get them to reproduce . Read on and we’ll tell you how.
Where to find frogs in Minecraft?
First of all, you should know that frogs will spawn in the overworld in groups of two to five . But for that to happen, we must be in the swamp and mangrove biomes, which is their natural habitat. Although, as you will see later, we can find them in other biomes. On the other hand, frogs can also be generated by growing from tadpoles . Still, you will have to search in different places depending on the type of frog you are looking for.
Three types of Frog in Minecraft
In total, the game has three frog variants, which are determined by the biome in which the tadpole grew up. Therefore, each type of frog has a different habitat, which is where we must search. Here are the three different types :

How to breed Frogs in Minecraft?
Now that we know where to find them, the question is what we have to do if we want to feed them and make them reproduce. To do this, we have to feed two frogs with slime balls , which will cause the creatures to enter the so-called “love mode”.
One of the two frogs will then become pregnant and will look for a water tile with air above it to lay its eggs . When they hatch, tadpoles will be born and will eventually become new frogs. Interestingly, the tadpole is the only creature in the game that is treated as a separate creature from the animal it comes from.
In any case, you should keep in mind that you should not touch the eggs before the tadpoles are born. If you do, they will be automatically destroyed . Normally, all the eggs will have hatched in just over 5 minutes . At most, it will take 10 minutes.
However, don’t think that once the tadpoles are born, everything is done. That’s when you’ll have to make sure they survive . To begin with, they’re weak and almost any creature will kill them with a single blow. In addition, they can’t survive outside of water, so it’s important to keep them in a pool of water until they evolve.
A good tip is to take advantage of the possibility of transporting them, since you can transfer them to other water sources (you cannot do the same with eggs or frogs). Also, if you want to speed up the evolution process , you can always give them slime balls, which accelerate the growth of the tadpoles.
Finally, it only remains to mention what kind of frog the tadpoles we have bred will become . And in that sense, you should know that it will not depend on genetics, but on the biome in which they have been bred . So, of course, you can use the table above to do your “experiments”.
A little trick with Minecraft frogs
One thing you might like to know is that frogs can eat small magmacubes . If that happens, the magma cubes will disappear, leaving a grelamp. What kind of grelamp it is will depend on the type of frog that ate the cube. You can understand it better with the following list:
- Temperate frogs – ochre grelamps
- Cold frogs – green grelamps
- Warm frogs – warm grelamps
