How to Make a Froglight Farm
Frogs eat small magma cubes and leave behind glowing froglights. Feed them a steady stream and catch the blocks they drop.
FROG EATS MAGMA CUBE → FROGLIGHT

and drops a froglightWhen a frog eats a small magma cube it leaves a froglight. Funnel small magma cubes past frogs and catch the glowing blocks in a chest. The frog colour sets the froglight colour.
What you need
Small magma cubes (the food)Froglights you harvest
Hoppers to collect them
Storage for the glow blocksFrogs turn magma cubes into light
A frog that eats a small magma cube drops a froglight where the cube was. The whole farm is delivery: damage big magma cubes down to small ones, funnel them to a pen of frogs, and a piston pushes the glowing blocks onto a hopper line into your chest. The frog's variant picks the colour: ochre, pearlescent or verdant.
Quick answers
What is a froglight farm in Minecraft?
It is a farm where frogs turn small magma cubes into froglights, the bright glowing blocks. You feed small magma cubes to penned frogs, each frog eats one and leaves a froglight behind, and you collect those blocks for lighting and decoration.
How do you make froglights?
A frog eats a small magma cube and a froglight appears where the cube was. Only small magma cubes work, so the whole farm is really about delivering a steady stream of small magma cubes to frogs and catching the blocks they produce.
What are the three froglight colours?
The colour comes from the frog, not the cube. A temperate frog makes ochre froglights, a warm frog makes pearlescent, and a cold frog makes verdant. Grow your frogs in the matching biome to choose which colour your farm produces.
How do you get small magma cubes?
Big magma cubes split into medium and then small ones when they take damage, and only the small ones can be eaten. Build a magma cube farm in the Nether or near a spawner, damage them down to small, and route those to the frogs.
How do you automate a froglight farm?
Funnel the small magma cubes to a pen of frogs with water or a drop, let the frogs eat them, and the froglights drop where the cubes were. Catch them with a piston that pushes the blocks onto a hopper line into a chest.
Does a froglight farm work on Bedrock?
Yes. Frogs eat small magma cubes and make froglights on both editions, and the colour-by-variant rule is the same, though mob and frog behaviour differ a little, so the layout may need tuning on Bedrock.
