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 which was considered for the pearlescent froglight during development was the "blanc froglight".[2]
- Pearlescent and verdant froglights have nearly exact opposite hues.
