What Are Froglights in Minecraft?

Minecraft Froglights are a fun new addition in version 1.19 - the Wild Update! These glowing blocks can only be obtained by feeding tiny magma cubes to frogs. When a frog eats one, a froglight will immediately spawn.

What Do Froglights Do?

Froglights emit a bright light level of 15, the maximum in Minecraft. They're great for lighting up builds in a unique way. The colour of the froglight depends on the frog variant - orange for orange frogs, red for red frogs, etc. Froglights can be mined and placed anywhere, but they will stop emitting light if not placed within 2 blocks of a water source.

Finding Frogs and Tiny Magma Cubes

To get started with froglights, you'll need to find some frogs and tiny magma cubes. Frogs spawn naturally in swamp and mangrove biomes. Tiny magma cubes can be found in the Nether, especially near lava lakes and in bastion remnants.

Once you've gathered a few frogs and magma cubes, feed the tiny cubes to the frogs by dropping them nearby. The frogs will eat the cubes and spawn colourful froglight blocks. Enjoy your new light source and the fun of breeding different coloured froglights!

Froglights open up lots of possibilities for unique Minecraft builds and frog breeding farms. Have fun experimenting with these new features in the Wild Update! Let your creativity hop to it!

Where to Find Froglights

Have you been searching the swamps and mangroves for those elusive froglights to no avail? Don't lose hope - with a few tips and tricks, you'll be finding froglights in no time!

Where Frogs Spawn

Frogs spawn in swamp and mangrove biomes, so head there first. Look for 2 block deep bodies of still water like ponds or small lakes. Frogs tend to gather around lily pads, so check near patches of those.

Once you spot some frogs, now you just need to find magma cubes for them to eat! Since magma cubes only exist in the Nether, you'll have to bring some to the Overworld. Lure a few through a portal or bring frog spawn eggs to the Nether so frogs can spawn and eat them there.

Other Helpful Hints

• Frogs become aggressive and attack magma cubes when hungry, so keep frogs well-fed or separate them to avoid accidental frog slaughter!
• Froglights spawn more at night, so do most of your hunting then.
• Froglights emit a soft green glow, so they're easier to spot in low light.
• Froglights tend to spawn within 8 blocks of the frog that ate the magma cube, so check the surrounding area thoroughly.
• Once a frog eats a magma cube, it can spawn up to 4 froglights, so keep feeding more cubes for the best results!

With some patience and the right techniques, you'll have a whole chorus of froglights in no time. Happy hunting and good luck!

How to Craft Froglights

Are you ready to light up your Minecraft world in the cutest way possible? Froglights are adorable light sources made by feeding tiny Magma Cubes to Frogs. Here’s how you can craft these hopping little lights and use them to illuminate your builds.

Finding Frogs and Magma Cubes

The first step is tracking down Frogs and Magma Cubes in your Minecraft world. Frogs spawn in swamp biomes, especially near water. Look for small green mobs hopping around - those are your new Frog friends! Magma Cubes spawn in the Nether, usually in Nether Fortresses or near large lava lakes. The smallest Magma Cubes, called Magma Cubes, are what you need to feed the Frogs.

Feeding Time!

Once you have a Frog and some tiny Magma Cubes, you’re ready to craft your first Froglight! Approach the Frog while holding the Magma Cube in your hand. When you see the ‘Feed’ option appear, select it to feed the Magma Cube to the Frog. The Frog will gobble it up and, after a few seconds, lay a Froglight! The Froglight will be the same colour as the Frog. You now have your very own natural light source.

Placement and Usage

Froglights provide a soft light level of 12, perfect for lighting paths, gardens and entryways. They can be placed on any solid block. You’ll want to space Froglights about 5-10 blocks apart for the best effect. The light from Froglights is directional, emitting light in a cone shape. Face the Froglight in the direction you want to illuminate.

With some patience finding Frogs and Magma Cubes, you’ll be lighting up your world with these fun new friends in no time. Froglights add a whimsical touch to any build and are the perfect natural-looking light source for fairy tale or fantasy themed areas. Happy hunting and crafting!

Uses for Froglights in Builds and Farms

Froglights are one of the cutest and most useful light sources in Minecraft. Once you have a steady supply of small magma cubes, you’ll have all the eco-friendly lighting you’ll ever need! Here are some of the best ways to utilise your froglights.

Decorating Builds

Froglights make adorable accents in any build. Place them along paths, in trees, or on the sides of buildings. Their soft orange glow will make your world feel warm and whimsical. For a magical fairy garden effect, embed multiple froglights at different heights within lush greenery.

Lighting Farms

If you have an underground farm, froglights are ideal for keeping your crops well lit without the fire hazard of torches. Their light level of 15 is perfect for most farms. Simply place froglights every 4-6 blocks to evenly illuminate your farm. Remmeber there are many other animals, like glow squids, that can be bred in Farms to help produce light.

Ambient Lighting

Create ambient lighting by placing froglights behind stained glass, trapdoors, or leaves. The coloured or dappled lighting effect gives an extra cosy feeling. Use different coloured glass for a calming rainbow of hues.

Hopper Clocks

Froglights can be used in hopper clocks to create pulsing light effects. Have the froglights turn on and off with the clock for a fun strobe light! Use multiple hopper clocks at different intervals for a random flashing effect.

Lighting Nether Portals

Frame your nether portal with froglights for a dramatic fiery look. The orange glow complements the purple portal swirl perfectly. Place the froglights in a square around the portal, leaving the corners unlit for maximum ambiance. Step through the portal into a world of danger and adventure, lit by the cheery froglights!

With some imagination, you’ll find countless ways to utilise the charming froglights in your world. Light up your life and builds with these delightful creatures! What clever uses have you found for your froglights?
