A new Minecraft update is upon the players, and one of the brand-new features added to Mojang's iconic sandbox survival game is the frog. This new passive mob spawns in the regular swamp biomes, as well as the newly introduced mangrove swamp biomes, which are a variation of regular swamps.
While frogs cannot be tamed in Minecraft, they can be bred much like many other passive mobs in the game. Players will just need one important special item, as well as two frogs in the wild to start breeding.
How To Tame Frogs
Frogs eat and are attracted to slimeballs. Players should equip at least two slimeballs in their right hand and feed them to their two frogs. As a result, they will trigger love mode for the frogs, where tiny red hearts will appear above their heads.
One of the frogs will then approach a water block with enough space to start laying its frogspawn. These appear as tiny black dots similar to seeds, which will eventually hatch into tadpoles. Over time, the tadpoles will grow into frogs, which the player can then breed into more frogs.
To grow tadpoles quicker into frogs, players can continue feeding slimeballs to them once they have hatched from frogspawn. Make sure they also have ample amounts of water around them to swim, and that there is no axolotl nearby that could attack and eat them. To guide tadpoles, players can tempt them using slimeballs, similar to frogs.
The last thing to note is that frogs will take on a different appearance depending on the biome they are from. Frogs in warm biomes will be white, while those in temperate biomes are orange and those in cold biomes will have the classic deep green color. This is something to keep in mind while breeding frogs if players wish to have different colors.
Minecraft is available on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android and iOS devices.
