A froglight is a light-emitting block that is obtained when a frog eats a tiny magma cube. It comes in three variants based on the variant of frog that eats the magma cube.

Obtaining[]

Breaking[]

Froglights drop as an item when broken with any tool or by hand. No tool will cause the froglight to break faster.[1]

Mob loot[]

A tiny magma cube drops a froglight when it is eaten by a frog. There are three colors of froglight that drop depending on what type of frog kills the magma cube:

Frog type Froglight color
Warm Pearlescent
Temperate Ochre
Cold Verdant

Usage[]

Froglights have a smooth texture and are used as light sources. They emit light level 15, the highest level possible for a light-emitting block. Froglights also melt snow layers within 3 blocks and ice within 4 blocks (taxicab distance).

Froglights can be placed in three different orientations, similar to logs and basalt.

Trivia[]

  • According to a Block of the Month article, froglights are organic substances since they’re live organisms that have been digested and then spat out by a frog, revealing that frogs don’t actually fully eat magma cubes, and only try to do so before spitting it out.[2]
  • One name for the pearlescent froglight during development was the "blanc froglight".[2]
