Ochre Froglight
Ochre Froglight is a bright light source block from Minecraft 1.19 that emits the maximum light level 15, dropped when a temperate frog eats a tiny magma cube.
Description
Builders reach for Ochre Froglight as a flush-fitting ceiling or floor lamp because the light emits from all sides and snaps to three axis orientations like a chain, so a single Ochre Froglight can sit vertically or horizontally depending on placement. The warm ochre tone pairs naturally with moss, spruce, and mangrove wood in swamp-themed or organic builds, and lava never ignites Ochre Froglight even with a Nether portal running right beside the lamp. Each tiny magma cube yields exactly one Ochre Froglight, and a single temperate frog turns a steady stream of magma cubes into fuel-free lighting with no smelting cost. Non-flammable material and no tool requirement make the ochre lamp a safe accent for wooden structures and underwater builds where steady, glowing light is needed.

How to get an Ochre Froglight in Minecraft
-
1
Breed two frogs
Feed slimeballs to two frogs in a temperate biome such as a swamp or mangrove swamp so the tadpoles they produce mature into temperate (orange) frogs.
-
2
Find magma cubes
Move the temperate frogs into the Nether or beside a magma cube spawner, since magma cubes spawn naturally in Nether fortresses and basalt deltas.
-
3
Let the frogs hunt
When a temperate frog eats a tiny magma cube the frog lunges with its tongue, and an Ochre Froglight drops on the ground where the cube stood.
-
4
Collect the drop
Pick up the Ochre Froglight; each tiny magma cube produces exactly one Ochre Froglight block.
Only temperate frogs drop Ochre Froglight. Warm (white) frogs drop Pearlescent Froglight, and cold (green) frogs drop Verdant Froglight. The frog type is set by the biome where the tadpole grows up.
