A newMinecraftupdate 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 inMinecraft, they can be bred muchlike 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 attractedto 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 spaceto start laying its frogspawn. These appear as tiny black dots similar to seeds, which will eventuallyhatch 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 slimeballsto them once they have hatched from frogspawn. ensure they also have ample amounts of water around them to swim, andthat there is no axolotl nearbythat could attack and eat them. To guide tadpoles, players can tempt them using slimeballs, similar to frogs.
The last thing to note is thatfrogs will take on a different appearance depending on the biome they are from. Frogs in warm biomes will be white, while thosein temperate biomesare 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.
