  &quot;Fireflies are poisonous to frogs we cant have that!&quot;<br>&quot;Bring your frog to hell. Bring it to hell and make it eat magma.&quot;

  In my survival world I just so happened to find a ruined portal on the edge of a swamp and then that portal also happened to spawn in a basalt biome and at some point I was chased back into the overworld by magma cubes only to be rescued by the frogs and get a ton of new froglights so yeah basically the only way for someone who doesn’t know about froglights to get them without looking at an external source is pure bs and random chance

  There are quite a few items and blocks in minecraft that are impossible for a casual player to collect in large quantities without making a farm.<br>Which really blows for players that don&apos;t want to make farms and/or be afk for hours just to get some frog lights or resin.

  My personal solution to this is change it so feeding the frog a glow berry would let it drop a frog light instead

  I was so ready to go launch survival minecraft and try to figure out how to get frog lights without a guide, right up until you said how to get them and I&apos;m thankful I didn&apos;t. Cause there is no way even in heaven that I&apos;d think to put the two together in the same room.

  I don&apos;t even know how you get them I&apos;ve never even seen how you&apos;re supposed to get them in game. This video was my introduction to how you&apos;re supposed to get them genuinely how the fuck would anyone figure that out???

  A few potential solutions:<br><br>.Make it so frogs can be directly fed the Magma Cream item to make froglights (No longer requires you to bring frogs to nether)<br><br>.Add an achievement for feeding a Magma Slime/Magma Cream to a frog (Makes it easier for players to find this mechanic)<br><br>.Add a new frog variant in the nether (Maybe based on a toad or bullfrog with horns) (So you aren&apos;t required to bring one from a swamp) (Akin to llamas and trader llamas, this new toad mob is a separate mob with a unique spawn egg but functions nearly identically to regular frogs).<br><br>.Frogs drop 1-4 Frog Lights when they eat a magma cube<br><br>.All frogs drop a basic froglight which has 16 dyed color variants (So you dont need specific types of frogs, plus extra colors are nice)

  I actually took charge and built a froglight farm in the SMP world my friends and I played on, it was a huge chore since we agreed early on that breaking onto the nether roof wasn&apos;t something we wanted to do on the server, so I had to fly out until I found a bastion with a spawner and then hollow it out, fully spawnproof it, build a powdered snow killing chamber, <i>and then</i> I spent all day searching for a swamp so I could even get the frogs... and this was before you could leash boats, so then traveling with them back to the home base was another giant pain<br><br>All because I thought froglights were pretty and I wanted us to use them for our builds instead of torch spam<br><br>It was worth it, but it was <i>so much work</i>

  My alternative for the Froglights would be to introduce small, wisp-like mobs called Swampfires that would spawn in swamps at night and attack the players. They wouldn&apos;t have much health, but they&apos;re attacks would set the player on fire for a few seconds. Frogs would be able to eat them and make Froglights.

  Kinda crazy how only now I realize that it&apos;s quite a hussle to get froglights. I am one of those few who go after them in every world I play because is such a pretty and smooth light block. And not going through the Nether roof because I play in Bedrock. <br> &nbsp; Sometimes for the farm I just flatten an area of Basalt Delta and add a little hut and punch the bigger magma cubes from a safe porch around it and then the frogs eat the small ones. Or use a design I found in Youtube that needs powder snow, allays and Bastions. <br> &nbsp; Honestly, for me, it never felt boring most of the process to make these farms. The only part that is a drag for me is to collect powder snow if I want a Bastion design. <br> &nbsp;But it really is alot of work and not intuitive one at that for different light blocks.<br> &nbsp; I would also consider myself some kinda of casual player, but sure enough I&apos;ll go through anything to get all the blocks and decorations I want.<br> &nbsp; But the way to get froglights now in game is not good game design

  The saddest part is that Mojang is no stranger with adding stuff that is extremely convoluted to get and offers very little in exchange<br><br>The sniffer and echo shards being the clearest examples of this<br><br>all the effort and time to go craft all the necesary things you&apos;ll need, find a specifically warm ocean ruin, trying to do archeology while being attack by drowned, have luck to get a sniffer egg out of that and wait for It to not only hatch but also grow into an adult, for you to only be able to get 2 flowers out of it<br><br>Same with the shards, like, first of all you need to locate an ancient city, go into It and look around one of the most dangerous structures in the game without getting killed, add that if you want to survive there you need to know what you are doing and have a bunch prep, when you get one Its useless by itself so you need to go find 3 more, all of that for you to just be able to craft 1 thing with them and is one of the most poorly designed items in the game
