Frogspawn

What is Frogspawn?

Frogspawn is a block in Minecraft that represents frog eggs. It appears as small clusters of translucent eggs floating on water surfaces and eventually hatches into Tadpoles. Frogspawn plays a key role in the Frog life cycle, allowing players to breed and farm Frogs in different biomes.

Where Can Frogspawn Be Found?

Frogspawn does not generate naturally and can only be obtained when two Frogs are bred using Slimeballs. Once bred, a Frog lays Frogspawn on the surface of water, where it will eventually hatch into Tadpoles. It is fragile and will break if stepped on or mined, meaning it cannot be collected as an item in Survival Mode. More details about Frog mechanics can be found in the Frog article.

What Can Players Do with Frogspawn?

Frogspawn is used to grow Tadpoles, which eventually mature into Frogs. The type of Frog that hatches depends on the biome where the Tadpole grows up. Players use Frogspawn to farm Frogs, which are useful for producing Froglights when they consume small Magma Cubes. More details about farming Frogs and their uses can be found in the Froglight article.

The History of Frogspawn in Minecraft

Frogspawn was introduced in Minecraft version 1.19 as part of the Wild Update. It expanded aquatic and swamp ecosystems, making Frogs a new interactive mob in the game.
