Frogspawn is a non-solid block laid by frogs when they are bred, which hatches into tadpoles over time. It cannot be obtained as an item or moved by a piston.

Obtaining

Frogspawn is unobtainable as an item in Survival mode. When broken, it always drops nothing, even if mined with a Silk Touch tool.

Breaking

Block	Frogspawn
Hardness	0
Breaking time (secs)
Default	0.05

Legend

• incorrect tool, drops nothing
• correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
• correct tool, drops the block itself
• italicized can be instant mined

Post-generation

Frogspawn is produced by one frog that has been bred with another. After two frogs are bred with slimeballs, one of them travels to the nearest water block or waterlogged block with air above, and lays a frogspawn block.

Usage

Hatching

A random number of ticks between 3600 (3 minutes) and 12000 (10 minutes) is picked as a hatching delay. After delay passes, 2–5 tadpoles are spawned.

The hatching speed of frogspawn is not affected by the game rule randomTickSpeed.

Placement

Frogspawn can be placed only on top of a water source block with air above it.
