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 Edit

Breaking Edit

Froglights drop as an item when broken with any tool or by hand. Breaking speed is always the same; no specific tool can break a froglight faster.[1]

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 eats the magma cube:

EntitySprite cold-frog.png: Sprite image for cold-frog in Minecraft Cold BlockSprite verdant-froglight.png: Sprite image for verdant-froglight in Minecraft Verdant

Usage Edit

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, deepslate, and basalt.

Trivia Edit

  • 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 which was considered for the pearlescent froglight during development was the "blanc froglight".[2]
  • Pearlescent and verdant froglights have nearly exact opposite hues.
  • According to content creator PearlescentMoon, Agnes Larsson said the pearlescent froglight is named in reference to her.[3][4]
