Frogs are friendly creatures that spawn in swamps and mangrove swamps in Minecraft, and although they were added in the 2022 1.19 wilds update, we really haven't really talked about frogs yet.
(1) About the design history of frogs in Minecraft:
The 2021 Wilderness Update was long before Minecraft Live announced that it would be adding Frogs. Initially, the frog model was very large, like the difference in the proportion of a real bee and a bee in a game. You can imagine how big the original frog was.
Chi Wong, the developer in charge of the frog design, told us: "At first we thought the big frog design was perfect, but after we joined the game, we realized that it was really big. First, there is no way for it to lie on water lilies; Second, frogs that are too big give a sense of fear of giants, and are not so cute and not so realistic.
So thanks to the efforts of everyone in the Mojang team, the scale of the model was greatly adjusted, and eventually the large bee-like Kaziran eyes were retained. If you pay attention, you will find that the design of big eyes always makes the creature look a little more cute.
(2) Basic characteristics of frogs
Minecraft frogs are different from all animals, its breeding process is different from the viviparous birth of pigs, horses, cows and sheep, and frogs cannot directly give birth to baby frogs. At the same time, it is also different from the oviparous production of chickens and turtles, and the whole breeding process is more complicated. First when you feed the frog with a ball of slime, after the two frogs have done something shy, one of the young frogs will go looking for waters where they can lay eggs.
After the spawning is completed, the frog eggs will slowly hatch over a long period of time and hatch into a small tadpole, which does not require human interference, and the growth of the tadpole is also different from all Minecraft creatures. Its growth process will be different due to the different environment, and in the process of gradually adapting to the environment (20 minutes), it will eventually grow into a frog in different forms. Of course, if the tadpoles eat their favorite slime balls, it can also accelerate this growth process.
Adult frogs will have three kinds of skin: cyan, orange, and white depending on the growth environment (group) of the tadpole. Among them, the white frog is based on the big gray climbing frog, and the orange prototype is the bullfrog. But no matter what kind of frog, its basic attributes are the same, such as can jump 8 blocks high, come with fall protection (10), health is 10, prey on small slimes and small magma monsters, eat small magma monsters will drop frog lights, wow lights will be divided into green (green), pearlescent (white), ochre yellow (orange) according to the color of the frog.
Of course, the fact that a frog can swallow a sheep in Bedrock Preview 1.18.10.26 was short-lived, as the developers forgot to remove the code used to test the frog's feeding.
(3) Frogs were born 265 million years ago?
Background: In the real world, frogs date back as far as 265 million years ago and are found in every corner of the world. There are many species of frogs due to different habitats, but more than a third of the frog species are now about to go extinct, and more than 120 species of frogs have become completely extinct in the past 50 years. So in this context, Mojang, who is passionate about protecting ecology and protecting animals, added endangered frogs to Minecraft, and at the same time made them spawn in the endangered mangrove swamp.
However, one thing is clear, when an environment is full of various frogs, it often means that the ecological environment is a healthy state. So can you see a frog rubbing around you?
