Frogs and Tadpoles

released

I believe that in the swamp biome there should be native animals such as frogs inside of that biome that hop onto land and onto lili pads.  I have the idea that you could get poisoned by hitting them with bare hands and without a sword, and that you could receive frogs leg once you kill the frog to give you another way to receive an enchantment of leaping or any other enchantment.

    Hmmm, I like the idea but maybe to add more of a...realistic effect maybe only brightly colored frogs would cause poison?   perhaps the brighter the color the more severe poisoning. Kind of like poison dart frogs that exist in real life, the brighter colored frogs would be a little more common in jungle biomes (another idea maybe whatever weapon that killed a poisonous frog would have a chance of harnessing that poison so that any mob that is hit with that weapon has the poison carried over) I love the idea of the frogs being deadly so I thought this would be a nice way to balance it or make it more interesting to experiment with

    That would be so cool but how would we kill them? Would they attack us or leave us alone?

    I think that there should be different kinds of frogs that spawn in different biomes. Such as poison dart frogs and bullfrogs. Toads would also be a good edition. Tadpoles are necessary if frogs are added in my opinion. It would be annoying and unrealistic if they just bred like normal mobs.

    Hi, CerealDragon313, I really liked your idea, but I have a change. How about if the frog drops frog leg, but with that you do an enchantment to your boots called "Lightza" that makes you be able to stay in the royal wins, but in case you don't have the boots and I have to stay in a royal win, it disappears, sometimes dropping and sometimes not , how about?

    maybe there could be some way to put frog legs on a book to make it an enchanted book if leaping for boots

    You should be able to breed them and when they grow up from tad pole to frog they should drop a slime ball like turtles drop scutes

    in jungle biomes there could be poison dart frogs which have bright colours such as blues, reds, yellows. hitting them with nothing in your hand or coming into contact could cause poison? maybe you could find frog's spawn as well,

    Haha! They should run away from player and jump in random directions so they are really hard to catch!

    Frogs should be poisonous. At least a few. That should be usable for brewing potions. And maybe if you touch an arrow on a frog you should have an poison arrow. And frogs should be able to stick on Windows

    This is a good idea, just wanted to add in one more thing. If you could cook the frog legs then that would be amazing.(Try Roasted Frog Legs in real life)

     

     

    P.S. If you eat the frog legs not cooked it should give one halve of a hunger bar and get nauseous fo 5 seconds!

    They should also be biome specific like foxes are. There could be normal frogs in the swamp, Tree frogs in the jungle, etc.

    A very nice but obvious idea, it's quite a bad reflection that the swamp biome has no unique aquatic mobs. I think what's needed to make frogs useful and give players a reason to go to the swamp could be an enchantment of leaping.

    I think one way could be for tadpoles to spawn commonly but frogs to be rare due to being hunted by some other swamp mob (I think that some sort of grapple mob that never missed and pulled targets towards it to eat them). This means you would have to capture tadpoles using water buckets and put them in an enclosure where they grow up into frogs.

    These frogs could be killed and drop frogs legs which work as a mediocre food source or can be used to make a leaping enchantment for leggings (since boots already have plenty of unique enchantments) which could use a jump bar like horses but use 1 durability for each half block is used.

    It should take more than 1 frog leg, (closer to 10) to make it though so it doesn't just take a 1 x 1 block with a tadpole in to make it.

    I like the idea of poison and frogs leg for potions, so why not? When using a frog's leg for potions, you get potion of poison skin, and when you slurp it, you get poison skin, a new affect that causes you to have thorns in a sort of way; anyone who touches you, with sword or without, will get temporary poison for up to ten seconds. But the downside is that your hunger goes down much much quicker.

    If they add frogs and tadpoles, I kinda feel like they need to add frog eggs too. They also possibly should add toads as well in the future, salamanders and newts would be awesome!

    I also feel like we should be able to breed and farm frogs.

    Wait, if Minecraft wanted to get the awareness that amphibian numbers are declining quickly, that would be a great idea to save frogs. Maybe they should add polluted water that kills crops and makes you sick or something, it could kill frogs and be sad.
