How to get Frog Lights

As the name suggests, frog lights are obtained only by interacting with frogs. Specifically, frogs have to eat a magma cube. Once they eat a magma cube, a frog light will be produced. Yup, it is that simple!

Types of Frog Lights

There are three types of colors that the frogs produce. The Pearlescent (purple) frog light comes from the tropical frogs. A Verdant (green) light comes from snowy frogs. The Ochre (yellow) light comes from the native swamp frogs. There is no special difference or ability between them, just color preference for you to choose which you would rather have the most of and use more often.

What to do with Frog Lights

Once you get the Frog Lights you can do what you want with them. They’re mostly for decoration.

With their addition, Frog Lights generate some of the most powerful light in the game. They easily replace some other bright blocks for your build and experimentation. Frog Lights emit a light level of 15. This is the highest in the game so far. The blocks’ brightness covers about 20 blocks or so within the lights’ area. To see just how much light they cover, testing them during nighttime would be best. Frog Lights are breakable with any tool or by hand.
