Frog Light sounds funny, but it's a pretty cool block. Everything you need to know can be found here.

Minecraft Froglight – The Glowing Magic of Hungry Hoppers!

The water in the swamp ripples gently as a soft glow shimmers through the mist in the distance. No campfire, no lantern – just a small, unassuming frog that has just devoured a magma cube. What emerges from this encounter is one of the most fascinating light sources in the game: the Minecraft froglight!
Did you always think frogs in Minecraft were just decorative? Well, you might want to reconsider! These little hoppers have a pretty cool secret: they can create one of the most beautiful light sources in the game. But what exactly is this shimmering block and how can you use it for your builds? Let’s dive into the world of the Minecraft froglight!

What Is the Minecraft Froglight?

The Minecraft froglight is a glowing block with a light level of 15 – the highest possible level for a block! You can only obtain it through a very special interaction between a frog and a magma cube. Yes, you read that right! When a frog eats a small magma cube, it drops a froglight as a reward. This is not only a unique way to get a light block but also a pretty amusing concept – a frog spitting out a glowing orb. Or is it more like a hiccup from swallowing magma heat? Who knows!

The Three Minecraft Froglight Colors

Froglights come in three different colors, depending on which type of frog eats the magma cube:

  • ochre froglight – Produced by temperate (orange) frogs.
  • pearlescent froglight – Created by tropical (white) frogs.
  • verdant froglight – Comes from cold (green) frogs.

Each of these colors has its own charm and can be used beautifully for different building projects. Other than the color, all froglights share the same properties.

How to Get a Froglight in Minecraft

Farming the MC froglight is a bit of a challenge, but with the right strategy, you can build a glowing collection. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Find frogs: You’ll need frogs, which can be found in swamps or mangrove swamps.
  2. Get magma cubes: These are found in the Nether, especially in basalt deltas.
  3. Feed small magma cubes to frogs: Bring magma cubes to the overworld to your frogs or bring your frogs to the Nether.
  4. Frog eats magma cube: Once a frog eats a small magma cube, it drops a froglight in its specific color.

Tip:
Use slimeballs to lure and breed frogs if you want to build a larger froglight farm.

What Can You Use Froglights For?

Froglights are a beautiful light source with a unique texture. It’s a welcome alternative to the same old torches and candles for every build, don’t you think? It fits perfectly into:

  • Modern buildings: The soft tones create a stylish and elegant look.
  • Magical places: The pearlescent light in particular adds a mysterious atmosphere.
  • Underwater worlds: Use froglights to create atmospheric, glowing underwater landscapes.
  • Paths & walkways: Replace lanterns or glowstone with a froglight for a fresh lighting style.
