Minecraft Frogspawn

Frogspawn are the egg-state of a frog’s life cycle. They are non-solid blocks that float on the water’s surface. A frog will become pregnant and lay frogspawn after being fed slimeballs. Frogspawn will hatch into tadpoles, and the biome that the tadpole grows up in will determine the color of the frog that it turns into.
