It's time to revolutionize the lighting standards in your Minecraft builds. Say farewell to torches that don't fit your structures and stones whose glow isn't inviting. The Froglight in Minecraft, a single block, is all you need. But creating them requires collecting items, defeating mobs, and even crossing dimensions. So, waste no time and dive into your favorite Minecraft 1.20 servers, let's learn everything there is to know about foglights.
How to Make a Froglight in Minecraft
Our guide covers the basics of foglights before diving into the process of obtaining them. If you are already familiar with them please feel free to skip ahead.
What is a Froglight in Minecraft
The froglights are a type of light source in Minecraft that are dropped by frogs. They cannot be found or crafted manually. In terms of appearance, froglights clean building blocks comparable to stripped logs in the game. Meanwhile, when it comes to brightness, froglights are on level 15, the brightest in the game. They are on the same light level as lava, lantern, and others.
But what makes froglights truly unique is that due to their shape, they can also double as building blocks. Moreover, these blocks are also immune from fire and lava, making them a perfect addition to any Nether builds.
Three Types of Froglights
Based on their appearance, foglights can be divided into three variants:
- Pearlescent: Purple in color and dropped by white (warm) frogs
- Verdant: Green in color and dropped by green (cold) frogs
- Ochre: Yellow in color and dropped by orange (temperate) frogs
As you might have noticed, the appearance of each froglight directly represents the type of frog that dropped them. So, if you want a particular froglight you have to get its relevant frog first. Lucky for you, we already have a dedicated guide on how to breed frogs in Minecraft and get all their variants in no time.
Items Required to Make Froglights
The froglights cannot be crafted within Minecraft. Instead, frogs drop froglight whenever they eat a small magma cube. But, the magma cubes only appear in the Nether dimension. Keeping all of that in mind, you need the following to get a froglight in Minecraft:
- 1 Frog (any)
- 1 Small magma cube
- Slimeballs, boat or lead (to transport frogs)
- A Nether Portal
- A weapon like a diamond sword (to attack large magma cubes)
Since frogs are an overworld passive mob, they are prone to the dangers of the Nether dimension. Their tendency to leap in random directions doesn't help the situation either. So, make sure to keep them in check while taking them to the Nether dimension.
One of the easiest ways to do so is by crafting a lead. Its recipe only requires four pieces of string and one slimeball. Alternatively, you can also rely upon a Potion of Fire Resistance to keep them and yourself safe.
Where to Find Magma Cubes
Before you even begin the process to get a froglight in Minecraft, it's important to find magma cubes. They spawn exclusively in the Nether dimension and most commonly appear in the Nether fortress and basalt deltas.
Though, keep in mind that magma cubes are hostile toward players. So, you should keep a shield or good armor handy while dealing with them.
How to Get a Froglight in Minecraft
With all the basics out of the way, follow these simple steps to get your first froglight in Minecraft:
1. First, find a frog in your world. Naturally, they only spawn in the swamp and mangrove swamp biomes.
2. Then, use a lead on that frog to make it follow you. The same also works with boats, rafts, and luring the frog with a slimeball.
3. Next, make your frog enter a Nether portal and go to the Nether dimension.
4. Once the frog is in the Nether, you have to be extremely careful and take it to the magma cubes. Then, use your sword to attack the magma cubes until they break down and turn into their smallest form.
5. In the smallest form, the magma cubes can't harm you. But, if they go in front of a frog it will immediately eat the cube and drop a froglight.
