The features on this page are exclusive to Experimental Gameplay in Bedrock Edition.
These features may be properly added in a future update, but currently require enabling one or more settings in the "Wild Update" section of the Game Settings menu.
This article describes a feature planned for Java Edition.
It has not appeared in any development versions yet, but is planned to be included in Java Edition 1.19.
A tadpole is a passive mob and the baby variant of the frog.
Spawning
Tadpoles don't spawn naturally. They can only be spawned by a spawn egg, through commands and by hatching from frog spawn.
Behavior
Tadpoles swim aimlessly in water. On land, they flop around like fish and seek out nearest water. They quickly die on land. Tadpoles shortly grow up into one of the variants of a frog depending on the place it grew up.[more information needed]
Unlike frogs, tadpoles are hunted by axolotls.
