How To Get Froglights In Minecraft?
Accumulate The Resources
Unlike other items in Minecraft, you can’t create froglights in Minecraft with the help of your crafting table.
Froglights are the item that only spawns when a frog eats a small magma cube. And magma cubes can only be found in the Nether– – a second dimension in Minecraft. Hence, there are a few resources that you must have at your disposal in order to get the froglights in Minecraft, which includes:
1. A Frog
As mentioned above, froglights cannot be made using a crafting table. They only spawn once a frog eats a small magma cube. Thus, frogs are essential to get a froglight in Minecraft. There are three main types of froglights that you can find in minecraft:
- Temperature Frog – They are orange and mostly spawns in neutral biomes and swamps.
- Cold Frog – They are green in color and very rare to find. They can only be summoned in Minecraft’s cold biomes and also the End dimension.
- Warm Frog – They are white and are commonly found in hot biomes and The Nether Dimension.
2. A Lead
A lead is required to carry the frog to the Nether, where magma cubes are available. One of the easiest ways to craft a lead is by using four strings and one slime ball.
You can get a string by breaking the cobwebs with the help of a sword. Cobwebs are usually found in abandoned villages, mineshafts and igloo basements. Breaking one cobweb will give you one string, so you must break at least four strings to produce a lead.
As per the slimeball, they are usually dropped from the slimes, which you can find in the swamp biomes. Once you collect the four strings and slimeball, place them in your crafting table just like shown in the image above and then click on the craft button to produce the a lead.
3. A Nether Portal
A Nether portal is required for you to access the Nether to find the magma cubes. So, if you don’t know how to make a nether portal in Minecraft, follow the steps given below.
Step 1
Firstly, you will accumulate the Obsidian to build the frame of the nether portal. You can find them naturally in the caves, which are located below the surface, or you can also create them by pouring water on the lava.
Know that Obsidian can only be broken using a diamond or netherite pickaxe, and it may take some time to collect them. Try to get at least ten Obsidian, but it’s recommended to collect at least 14 to make a proper nether portal.
Step 2
Now we have to collect flint and steel, for which you are required to have a flint and iron ingot. You can get flint by breaking the gravel – every gravel broken is likely to drop a piece of flint. And as per the iron ingot, you can get it by smelting down the raw iron in a furnace or blast furnace.
Once you have accumulated both items, please place them in your 3×3 crafting grid table, as shown in the image below. Click on the craft button to get the final product – flint and steel.
Step 3
Now it’s time to make the nether portal and light it up.
Use the obsidian block to build your portal, just as shown in the image below. Once you have entirely created a nether portal, equip the flint and steel you crafted and right-click your portal. You will notice it is starting to glow up in a purple color. Now you use it to enter another dimension to fulfill your purpose of collecting froglights.
4. A Sword
A sword is needed in order to kill the magma cubes. They usually don’t have much health and can easily be killed. Hence, you can use any sword to destroy the magma cubes.
5. A Magma Cube
Nether usually consists of a big size of magma cubes, and you are required to break them into small pieces so that frogs can eat them easily and help you get your desired item – froglights.
Getting The Froglight
So, now you know what resources are required to get the foglights. Let’s jump straight into the process of getting the forglights in minecraft.
Step 1 – Find a frog in the mangrove and regular swamp biomes.
Step 2 – Once you have spotted the frog, hold your lead and right-click on the frog. You will notice the lead is stuck on the frog’s neck and it is now following you wherever you go.
Step 3 – Enter the nether portal while the frog is attached to your lead.
Step 4 – When you are inside the portal, go to the places where Magma cubes are spawned, for example, Nether Fortress, bastion remnants, Nether wastes, and basalt deltas.
Step 5 – After spotting the magma cubes, begin to kill them until their small pieces are left.
- Please remember that magma cubes will try to attack you, so you have to be careful when dealing with them.
Step 6 – Take your frog near the magma cube so that they can eat them. As soon as your frog eats a magma cube, a froglight will spawn. Collect it.
The color of the light will depend on the type of frog you took inside the nether portal. For example, if you took the white frog in the portal, you will get the purple froglight.
How To Use The Froglights In Minecraft?
Once you have collected the desired froglights, you can place them down at a place to lighten up a specific area. Not only that, they can also be used as a piece of decoration – thanks to their extremely nice look.
In case, if you do not like a froglight you just placed, you are free to break it with the help of tools or your hands and then replace it with the one you prefer.
