A tiny magma cube drops a froglight when it is eaten by a frog. There are three colors of froglight that drop depending on what type of frog kills the magma cube:
| Frog type | Froglight color |
|---|---|
| Warm | Pearlescent |
| Temperate | Ochre |
| Cold | Verdant |
Usage
Froglights have a smooth texture and are used as light sources. They emit light level 15, the highest level possible for a light-emitting block.
Froglights can be placed in three different orientations, similar to logs and basalt.

Trivia
- Froglights “are an organic substance since they’re organisms that have been digested and then spat out by the frog,” revealing that Frogs don’t actually fully eat Magma Cubes, and they only try to do so before spitting it out, producing a froglight.[1]
- One name for the pearlescent froglight during development was the "blanc froglight".[1]
