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 | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

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:

Usage[edit | edit source]

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 | edit source]

  • 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]
