the firefly shouldn’t be able to eat magma cubes

The recent official announcement that the firefly mob won’t be coming to the wild update was to put it simply, disappointing to the whole community. The reason being that since some species of fireflies are poisonous to frogs and toads. This is similar to how the change was made that parrots shouldn’t eat cookies, as chocolate is poisonous to them in real life. However, the choice to have them eat magma cubes is confusing. Magma cubes drop magma cream, which can be crafted into a magma block. This implies that they are made of of magma, which is known to be very hot and dangerous, and as such because the devs value realism so much, magma and lava can kill you in game, just like in real life. Because if this, I think that having frogs eat magma cubes is a bad representation of how frogs are on real life. What if someone tries to feed their pet frog a piece of magma? As such frogs should not be able to magma cubes because it is a dangerous representation that could potentially have children around the world who player this game start killing frogs by having them eat hot and dangerous rocks, expecting the frog to spit out a glowing purple, green, or yellow light.

    As someone who has raised frogs, I know that they will eat anything that fits into their mouths. ANYTHING. This means Minecraft Frogs would be able to eat Silverfish, Endermites, Bats, chickens and most baby animals, tadpoles, other frogs, and yes baby slimes and magma cubes. It is simply a matter of "Can it fit in my mouth? Yes. Is it Edible? Yes. EAT IT!"
