Tadpoles Cannot Be Bred

Tadpoles are the result of breeding two Frogs by feeding them Slimeballs. Afterwards, the pregnant Frog will produce Frogspawn on a nearby water source block to spawn Tadpoles.

Tadpole Locations and Spawning Mechanics

Wait for Frogspawn to Hatch

Tadpoles do not spawn naturally and can only be spawned by breeding two frogs and producing Frogspawn on water. After a few minutes, the Frogspawn will produce a Tadpole.

Tadpole Behavior

Swims on Water, Dies on Land

Upon hatching from a Frogspawn, Tadpoles will swim around bodies of water aimlessly.

When Tadpoles are on land, it will try to find its way back to the nearest water block and will die should it not make it.

Grows Into a Frog Variant Depending on the Biome

Temperate	Cold	Warm

There are three Frog variants, all of which are dependent on the biome the Tadpole spawned or grew up in.

The base, orange variant can be found in temperate climates and biomes, while the green and white variants can be found in cold and warm biomes respectively.
