How To Farm Froglights! ▫ Minecraft 1.19 Survival Guide (Tutorial Lets Play) [S2 E114]

The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 2 continues!
In this tutorial, we build a Froglight farm! Using powder snow, a handful of blocks and the Magma Cube spawner from a Treasure Room Bastion Remnant, we build a simple setup to split magma cubes down until they're at the smallest size. Then we move in a bunch of frogs, and the Froglights start rolling in! We get hold of Verdant and Ochre Froglights today, and will add white frogs to acquire Pearlescent Froglights later. It even gives you bonus Magma Cream!
Along the way we discuss some easy ways to remove lava without fire resistance potions, the best ways of getting your frogs to the Bastion, and where to breed frogs for the different varieties!

A nether portal made in a treasure room bastion, that connects to a geode, submerged in an underwater cave, under an ocean with an ocean monument and a shipwreck nearby. That's some spectacular luck.

[@MJDENTON]

The transporting frog music was a great choice! Can't wait to see what you do with the frog lights.

[@bonzue]

It's kinda like lazy river music lol

[@lilruni]

Throw them in lava What else are you suppost to do with them, that what im gonna do

[@JonyALB]

The segment where you _Fast and the Furious: Frogyo Drift_ down the river with a large handful of Frogs behind you to the tunes of _"Stal"_ is a perfect example of why your videos are *so* dang good. Thanks for all the hard work you do, Pix.

[@mert31415]

croakyo drift

[@gregjorda3080]

One of the best og discs...works well with most tasks...

[@gluesniffingdude]

idk why but Stal just goes so well with frogs in every way.

[@bc185_reddit]

Gonna send that part to jschlatt!

[@smoothesuede4978]

Something tells me "Frog in a Bucket" is going to be a popular mod.

[@nerdyvalkyrie9230]

The smooth jazz over the army of sauntering frogs is just *chef's kiss*

[@Isnotanapple_]

The part where u were Dragging All the frogs with u was kinda adorable 😭💗

[@jsketchpunk]

Thank you Pix for blessing us with that frog montage

[@LaGrenouille09]

Seems like transporting frogs is almost as frustrating as trying to transport villagers 😅 Pix I love all of your videos, love seeing your builds and the clear way you explain red stone and farms, and I can’t wait to see how you do in this season of Empires!❤️

[@sleepyavo]

3:52 how did i not know you could craft polished deepslate from cobbled deepslate without a stone cutter? and then into deepslate bricks?? wut ?! complete new information to me xD the things i learn from these videos that aren't even a part of the actual theme of the episode 😍

[@AtticHaunt321]

A frog parade is the content I didn’t know I needed! Thanks.

[@tntgaming828]

Tip of the day.... You can get the hot biome frog (the white one) by emptying a bucket of tadpole out in the neither then quickly spamming slim balls to grow it up.

[@alistairdavis1131]

love the new empires pixel can't wait to see more

[@ytuser4562]

Great farm. Took me a while to find a treasure bastion, but once I made the farm, the rates are pretty awesome for the material cost

[@willseaver5033]

the frog collection song is perfect!

[@bigbigbirdd]

Been waiting for this since pix first mentioned it! Love the vid

[@face_my_bullets2981]

Nice and easy frog light setup! Thank you!

[@wchasec]

The first nether farm I’m actually excited to make 😂

[@tonybishop7215]

my farm is 11x11 and I only have one of each frog which is more than enough you don't need that many in there.

[@norbucso]

1 layer of glass above the spawner 7x7 is enough to block spawn. I did that. I didn't think it's that easy. Edit. I didn't know the scaffolding trick. Neat. My bastion is in basalt delta. It's no other mobs spawning inside the bastion after I clearer the brutes. Weird. It's now just frogs and cubes.

[@popplestones886]

You don't even need the full grid, just 9 solid blocks in a grid centred on the spawner above by 1 block 2 block gap between each solid block

[@norbucso]

@@popplestones886 I know but if you look from easy build strategy it's easier to use a stack of glass rather than switching out dirt and make gaps. Only wish glass would have finally a designated tool to break them faster.

[@Dried_Lime]

Those are going to be some fat frog's

[@ramperiakaruppan]

You can grow warm frogs in the nether with giving the tadpoles lots of slime quickly

[@rockzalt]

Do the frogs heal from any damage taken when they eat the small cubes?

[@dewdrop6346]

currently have all 3 froglights on the agenda for my Minecraft realm, this will be amazingly helpful. Heck, I haven't even acquired a cold or even TEMPERATE frog because we're in a world seed that's completely engulfed in mangrove swamp and jungle biomes. That is something my friend and I will have to look out for, but we do have nether portals hooked up to places that have other biomes. edit: quick question, why are solid blocks necessary for the landing pad at the bottom of the farm where the magma cubes fall into? couldn't you just use honey blocks to prevent the magma cubes from jumping out of the powdered snow?

[@killianobrien2007]

Medium magma cubes are just tall enough to freeze with solid blocks

[@SuperDarklord101]

Would it be worth replacing the floor blocks with honey so the slimes don't hop around as much as well as prevent the frogs from getting cold?

[@dtslawyer6970]

You can if you want, but powder snow above trapdoors already prevents the magma cubes from jumping and frogs from freezing, so there’s no need imo

[@Pixlriffs]

I think you also sink into honey blocks a little, which means the medium sized magma cubes won’t have their hit boxes inside the powder snow like they do with a full solid block.

[@davespencer9384]

My comment is a bit late.....the snow blocks were hurting the magma cubes at first but then stopped. Is this something I have to replace constantly?

[@erikmadden2913]

Just got done making this farm but my frogs don't produce any froglights. Any thoughts?? I made a creative world and spawned in a frog with a magma cube and it works there

[@mikebaker2436]

Okay... the scaffolding lava clearing hack is kinda genius.

[@elconejitopandrosito4971]

Do anyone knows which mod or resource pack he used for showing the coordinates without f3?

[@Pixlriffs]

Coordinates HUD from Vanilla Tweaks - Vanillatweaks.net

[@jhrmd]

@@Pixlriffs your reply is just in time!!

[@thEultimateTide_Pod]

the frogs either eat the magma cubes and poop out a froglight, or they chew on them, and spit out a froglight

[@sarahsaebz7453]

Wow thats genius

[@VulpisFoxfire]

Would a floor of hoppers (under the living hoppers :-) ) with carpet/moss carpet on them push the frogs or small cubes up into the snow blocks, or are they short enough to coexist? I've never been fond of the railway collection system if there was an alternative. :-/

[@Pixlriffs]

It'd probably work, yeah. Lots of other folks in the comments here said honey blocks work, so that's another option (perhaps a little expensive if you don't have a honey farm.)

[@VulpisFoxfire]

@@Pixlriffs That is a thought, if you can afford the honey and the iron..IIRC, aren't honey blocks in that 'slightly less than full' catagory that plain hoppers can pull through (if so, then a floor of honey blocks, with a layer of hoppers underneath)? Like I said, I've always kinda disliked the cart on rails means of collection...probably stems from back when unloading the chunk could cause the minecart to stop or even disappear.

[@Legendcpvp123]

Get a iron golem to attract the magma cubes into the hole

[@miguelalejandrog.datiles9809]

nice vid

[@bc185_reddit]

Your video just got sent to jschlatt by me.

[@paylsss2602]

[@veloc.raptor9136]

Question. Wouldnt it have been easier to breed the frogs in the nether? Rather than getting them all to the nether

[@ManosSef]

You can't place water in the nether.

[@biryanilover7147]

You can spam click the tadpoles to grow before it dies, but it's risky and you can only get the warm frog. So only Perlescent froglights! Bringing them to the Nether is a much better option.

[@mommabearof4850]

You can put them in a boat. I did it by accident.

[@alexanderray77]

If you make the floor of the farm from honey blocks it stops the frogs jumping at all and drastically reduces their lag. Credit to ilmango

[@popplestones886]

This has the side effect of the medium magma not taking freezing damage because they are only very slight larger than full block

[@williamjones5334]

Wouldn't that run into the problem he mentioned earlier of the medium cubes not freezing? Honey isn't a full block, ilmango was probably using a different design that didn't rely on powder snow in that way

[@shadow325lone]

Ohh, brilliant

[@JosephSchmidtfan]

I absolutely lost it as you led all the waterskiing frogs home to the accompaniment of a cool jazz track. Brilliant episode! Edit: I'm glad you found your lost frogs. Thought they might have croaked. I'll see myself out...

[@jenniferhart559]

I had to pond-er that joke for a bit.

[@timohara7717]

Its called stal if your wondering its an in game disk

[@jyrae007]

This will be extremely helpful for the future builds I’ve been planning. Thank you for making this video and all the other amazing content you make! :))

[@benji961]

Just remember this is because mojang didn’t want to add fireflies

[@ManosSef]

For anyone wondering about the weird subtitles at 10:05, I can explain. It's kinda technical, but I am gonna try to dumb it down. Minecraft saves assets (textures, sounds, text etc.) in two places: the download itself (i.e. the jar file) and a thing called the asset index. The asset index is what saves sounds and what subtitles they produce, while the jar file saves all the English US translations for text (and also all textures but that isn't the point). The asset index is automatically updated by Mojang every time they release a new snapshot or release version. At the time of writing, Minecraft 1.19.1 has not been released yet, but its snapshots have. This means that the asset index has been updated to 1.19.1, which fixes a bug with tadpoles growing up without producing any subtitles, and so the asset index tells the game to show the translation of "subtitles.entity.tadpole.grow_up" in the subtitles when a tadpole grows up. Minecraft 1.19 does not have that translation though, so it stays as the raw string. Wow that was long.

[@syystomu]

Thanks for the explanation!

[@pesegolsson]

i love seeing how different players deal with these kinds of farms, so many variations but almost all seam to use the same mechanics with the powder snow in some form or the other, btw 2 frogs of each kind is plenty enough to deal with the magma cubes that the spawner produce, which might make things a little easier to breed and transport the frogs.

[@soultundra7869]

8 frogs of each colour seems to work quite well for a spawning platform farm... depending where you build I guess... mines on the nether ceiling (Java) and AFK spot is waaaay above the roof, so it spawns a LOT of cubes... Guessing you could do more or less depending on the size of your spawning platform, but 8 seems to just about keep on top of the baby cubes in each section of my farm :)

[@pesegolsson]

@@soultundra7869 yes if you have a lot of spawns and you use the "natural" spawn mechanism you might need more frogs. But if you use the spawner in a bastion, 2 of each seams to be enough. Never seen a cube survive for long. The frogs are very hungry creatures. 😀

[@soultundra7869]

@@pesegolsson yeah, I was expecting a longer cooldown on them eating the tiny cubes, but they seem to eat one every couple of seconds 😆

[@Slackbot]

Nice! One suggestion to help minimize frog-wrangling hassles: don't bother to breed the white (warm) frogs in the overworld. Instead, bring some tadpoles and slimeballs to the nether, release a tadpole at a time into a little pit, and slimeball it to adulthood before it can suffocate. It will mature into a warm frog.

[@beltranpublicaccount8867]

Question: How are you going to schedule Empries 2 and Survival Guide²?

[@norbucso]

He basically covered all 1.19 stuff. So he can focus on empires while making some survival episodes. I think. We will see in any case. I'm happy for any episodes.

[@silehpanda]

Don't forget hermitcraft recap 😉

[@NoOneYT1]

Froglights are very useful light sources and they build well with sea lanterns

[@TheRealWormbo]

Technically you only need to block the layer right above the spawner, since magma cubes, like slimes, can only spawn if their largest form would fit - and large slimes or magma cubes are slightly higher than 2 blocks. Technically it should even be enough to fill in the corner and edge/area center blocks of the 7x7 area right above the spawner. For the same reason you probably want your spawning area to be 11x11 for maximum spawning efficiency.

[@SkippysBacon]

Valuable information here. Thanks!

[@noodlez2668]

How deep would you make it?

[@ahaaas9433]

love the section where you were trasporting frogs from the mountains to spawn. funney little segment.

[@danielfc]

My main concern was how to stop the magma cubes from spawning. I guess I'm building one of those now. Thanks, Pix!

[@nathan10njb]

That was the perfect music for dragging the slow frogs around!!!😂😂👍👍 dragging frogs around anywhere is so annoying!!

[@quinntaylor1170]

The song stal playing while you’re dragging frogs behind a boat was the best choice in music. So funny!!!

[@WildWestDan]

Love the frog moving music! Great episode, and a much easier farm than I thought it would be!!

[@nickwilkerson1396]

Don’t make your walls or floors out of gravel or netherack. Endermen are able to pick up these blocks, releasing any lava behind the removed block. This could destroy the frogs or you, if you happen to be in the farm when it happens. 😅

[@mararamitchpeace]

HAHAHAHAHA! I have never been so entertained by someone slowly walking an army of frogs on leads down a snow capped mountain to Pink Panther style music! :-)))

[@BlondieSaidWhat]

Someone was feeling punny today, LOL.... Glad you hopped into action with a video on the frogs. They are the cutest...

[@jyrae007]

Woo

[@chitusminecraft]

[@sarahaufssri4529]

today I learned that you can get rid of lava by using scaffolding

[@rumblejack5685]

The transportation music is kind of amazing;)

[@calltomythos4961]

And with videos like this.. This is why fwhip thinks of you as a technical minecrafter. But also I like them as well. I do end up learning so many new aspects of this game. That I either wouldn't think out or didn't know could be done.

[@Insomnia95]

It might be 3am for me but I will watch this very interesting video

[@tuxxler]

Great video, this actually inspired me to make one also. Unfortunately, I kid you not 5 minutes after I got the frogs and finished the farm, when I started getting good rates, an enderman takes a piece of gravel. And then lava spills in deletes some of the powdered snow and kills all the frogs. But I did fix it, just found it 1 in a million chance.

[@xZotiC454]

Watching you transport those frogs reminds me of the TikTok Frog Army guy 😂

[@Julia-sm9zq]

I found the frog transportation segment to be delightful! :D

[@404UnknownEntity]

will you be playing skyblock for 1.19?

[@thejitendrashahofficial]

What would your upload schedule be now? I mean between Empires SMP S2 and Survival Guide S2. Will it be random or like a certain days order?

[@sufyankhan-di7yd]

I think 1 video pr week for empire and 2 or 3 of survival guide

[@TinyBlueWolf]

I don't get it you can put a hole axolotl in a bucket why not a frog.

[@Pixlriffs]

Easy. Axolotls don't jump, frogs do. The frog would just jump out of the bucket.

[@WizardOfDocs]

welp, hell has frozen over, I guess

[@mts777]

Thank you for this! After about 20 hours of work between 2-3 people, we have a functional frog light farm with 4 of each color frog. :-D We surrounded the pit with snow blocks (which are holding back the lava on the outside). I set up a minecart hopper unloader that feeds the dropper elevator, and it shows the flashing lights when working. I really like this frog light farm!

[@StuStuStu2107]

I very much enjoyed the frog transport vignette, excellently judged soundtrack.

[@stargirl9114]

Quick question, Pix: could you use honey blocks as the layer above the hopper mine cart? Honey blocks will limit the jumping ability of both the magma cubes and the frogs. But I don’t know if honey blocks are considered “full blocks”. Do you think it would work?

[@prabhatsingh4129]

Not full blocks

[@Mehhhhhhhh]

Crazy how Mojang made getting a subar light source this tedious when they could've just implemented fire flies and make this a thousand times easier .

[@user-hn2qs7pw7p]

I made this in my survival world with just 2 frogs of each color and the output is ridiculous, a little afk-ing and my double chest filled half way, i get the occasional enderman that comes by and steals a powdered snowblock or a archer skeleton will spawn in the pit who freezes over after contacting the powdered snow and his skin changes and he looks pretty wicked, i lined the collection area with glass so i could see into the kill area, i just made a slight change and extended the railway out 1 more block to a 10x9 area so the minecart will circle back after the snake and run continuously..or was it an 11x9 area, i forget already, either way i think you get it :) lol

[@newst1179]

Maybe I’m missing something, how do the frog lights fall through the floor and into the cart?

[@ysw2000]

Why did you not just build a nether portal on the surface of the ocean at the same coordinates so you didn’t have to drag the frogs down?

[@tracer1068]

dont you think that all that for a light block isnt worth it?

[@biryanilover7147]

They're cool for building though!

[@thomasanderson8548]

the frog posse xD loved this episode, so funny and informative!!

[@ShaunCockerill]

I find that you only need the layer above and the layer below the spawner to stop spawns. It uses less blocks, and gives you a neat little crawl space where you can place additional blocks if necessary, and break blocks without worrying about the cubes getting to you.

[@Boss-cj6zn]

Ngl when I heard the jazz track it thought it was from Meet the Robinsons, and the singing frog scene lol

[@echoanddandelion8890]

‘Frogs don’t take as much fall damage as other mobs because of how much they jump’ *stares at rabbits*

[@dr.insanity9087]

At 16:45, the way the frogs are positioned on the bow of the ship looks like a frog king and his twin bodyguards.

[@watchemchick]

Frogs skiing behind Pix in a boat is one of the best things I've seen in Minecraft 🤣

[@syystomu]

Honestly I really liked the green frog moving montage, good chill vibes

[@Patryc]

this is a hilarious visual

[@StevesGuide]

The choice of music for transporting the frogs was superb 😂

[@catcadev]

How could you configure this to farm magma cream? Any opportunity to swap?

[@Pixlriffs]

You’ll get magma cream from this farm too, but if that’s all you want, take all the frogs out and put a layer of powder snow at the bottom of the pit instead of the grid one block up.

[@Subject_Keter]

"Fireflies are dangerous to frogs.. eat living magma cubes instead!" Jokes aside, it weird they dont like the Farm animals and put in whatever weird entities they want... but they keep putting irl ones. Weird.

[@Pixlriffs]

Honestly, I think it wouldn't have worked if frogs ate fireflies to create Froglights. They'd just leave them all over the swamp, regardless of whether you wanted them or not, because fireflies would spawn there as well. So you'd just end up with random dropped froglights littering the ground. Plus there were no other planned interactions with Fireflies. Even as an ambient mob, it's not great if the frogs eat them all and poop them out before the player even gets there.

[@Chaosfairy9000]

How deep dose one make the pit?

[@Chaosfairy9000]

Follow up question did u do a part two for the collection system?

[@davidmote6172]

10:04 would of been funny to see this at double speed with some Benny Hill theme music. Also, at 18:22 You should of said a "hopping" success :;

[@bc185_reddit]

What is funny though is that I sent this video to jschlatt for containing that music disc.

[@bluesman260971]

Thought it was dog walking, not frog walking? 😂😂

[@oskarcarnwath9665]

6:26 how many blocks deep should the pit be?

[@enbentz]

These blocks are seriously so unique and cool - They're absolutely one of the most underrated parts of 1.19! Mojang pls giv more blocks like this!!

[@buzzbuzzluke]

Very well done on the frog escort segment :)

[@CATLOAFMAN]

i just wanna say it that edit for 10:04 with the music made frog farming seem like pretty shady work and 10:44 when you got in the water and the silly music started playing! priceless!

[@mikehosier1239]

10:10 this music for this scene made me laugh.

[@_Abjuranax_]

You need to be careful with your collection systems, as the high rates can lock the Hoppers and overflow the Storage. So, leave extra room if you can, to allow for modifications.

[@TheCDNJumpmaster]

Love the froglight tutorial!! May I ask how you dealt with mobs that spawned in the kill zone?

[@baldesion]

Just finished mine! Took my forgs through the roof of the nether and built a portal in my "observation room" right next to the farm and took them in that way. Really helped. Just made sure the nether roof portal and the farm portal were 128 blocks away from one another. Worked great!

[@JosephCarpenter700]

Thankyou Pixlrifs. Neat design, and the tip about enclosing the spawner in dirt is a good reminder to turn them off while building. I built it and it is working great. One tweak I made is to NOT use rails and instead use hoppers under mud bricks to collect items. Oh yeah, but how, some may ask... Snow blocks spaced as in this tutorial, skip one layer, then a layer of vertical chains so large and medium get broken up by the snow, , then only smallest magma cubes fall through to a floor of mud where the frogs are kept. (The frogs do not jump above the chains anyway even if it is a tight space). Then under that is a layer of hoppers and normal collection chests however you see fit.

[@ThomasGrillo]

So much involved in getting one of these farms running. One of our server mates setup a frog light farm on our server. Thanks for sharing.
