Frog

java

A frog is a passive mob that can spawn in swamps.

Spawning
Groups of one to four frogs spawn in swamp biome. Frogs can also be spawned by growing from tadpoles. Frogs have three variants which depend on what biome they grew up in as a tadpole: swamp (orange), snowy (green) and tropical (white).

They are planned to spawn in swamp and mangrove swamp biomes.

Behavior
Frogs can jump 4 blocks high and take less damage from falling than most other mobs.

Occasionally they may croak and swell the throat.

Breeding
Feeding two frogs seagrass (placeholder) causes them to enter love mode, causing one of the frogs to become pregnant, similar to turtles. The pregnant frog then searches for a water tile with air above to lay frog eggs. These frog eggs later hatch into tadpoles which grow into frogs.

Attacking
Frogs attack small slimes, which drop slimeballs when killed. The frog attacks by using its tongue to pull the mob into its mouth, whereupon the mob instantly despawns.

 * Frogs were shown in Minecraft Live 2021 to enjoy jumping on dripleaves.
 * This is the only mob whose baby variant is a completely separate mob.
