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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@isaacabel6839]

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.

[@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.

[@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! :))

[@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

[@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

[@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 😆

[@quinntaylor1170]

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

[@ahaaas9433]

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

[@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?

[@NoOneYT1]

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

[@BlondieSaidWhat]

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

[@WildWestDan]

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

[@Julia-sm9zq]

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

[@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.

[@the.echomaker]

Watching this as I'm putting the finishing touches on my froglight farm and getting ready to fetch the frogs themselves. The music you played while you were getting them was perfect!

[@nathan10njb]

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

[@syystomu]

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

[@smoothesuede4978]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@nerdyvalkyrie9230]

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

[@eloquentornot]

I love the music when you were getting the green frogs! Also it's amazing that you just happened to get a nether portal to a geode, after you already decorated some portals as if they were geodes!

[@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 😉

[@Isnotanapple_]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@StevesGuide]

The choice of music for transporting the frogs was superb 😂

[@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! :-)))

[@jsketchpunk]

Thank you Pix for blessing us with that frog montage

[@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.

[@jennvail7934]

Thank you pix for explaining how to block the spawner. It works on bedrock and this was the first explainer/tutorial that worked!!

[@danielfc]

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

[@trevinbeattie4888]

Loved the froggy jazz music! It reminded me of After Dark’s “Out and About” screen saver, but with a better ensemble. ;)

[@rumblejack5685]

The transportation music is kind of amazing;)

[@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!!

[@thomasanderson8548]

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

[@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!

[@lindadaa]

Walking the frogs was my favourite part of the video, amazing.

[@benji961]

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

[@buzzbuzzluke]

Very well done on the frog escort segment :)

[@StuStuStu2107]

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

[@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!❤️

[@watchemchick]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@emilylindstrom724]

The jazzy frog dragging montage was amazing XD

[@bc185_reddit]

…except to jschlatt (who I have sent it to)

[@dansara5933]

ah this is so cool. I've been wanting to make froglights farm but was worried about the magma cube spawner. I didn't know boxing it in like that would stop spawns. I'll definitely make this one, thank you Pix :)

[@VulpisFoxfire]

And to paraphrase the oft-mangled quote from Jaws...I think you're gonna need a bigger storage system. Either just a lotta chests, or maybe one with a sorting system that sorts the froglights for you, and has an extra chest for magma creams.

[@bojeelll9192]

That look on the boat set it all "this is my life now pixelriffs frog Wrangler"

[@bigbigbirdd]

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

[@willseaver5033]

the frog collection song is perfect!

[@xZotiC454]

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

[@teresagreen-e]

the frog-collecting montage is sending me absolutely WILD i'm-

[@Insomnia95]

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

[@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

[@kmpoppe]

As the Nether is a hot biome, you could put the water bucket with the Tadpole in a 2 x 2 x 2 hole (so it doesn't flap away) and spam click it with slime balls to grow up. It should grow faster than it suffocates :)

[@miladylaughalot]

Great video and I love watching you on empires!!

[@face_my_bullets2981]

Nice and easy frog light setup! Thank you!

[@lordesky9671]

That's pretty neat. And conveniently I have a nether portal from my drained monument home that comes out right next to a bastion. Did not know that they have magma cube spawners in them tho.

[@soultundra7869]

I finished making a froglight farm yesterday before watching this, as I wanted to have a go at one without relying on ideas from other folks first. They are remarkably easy! I did build mine on the nether ceiling tho, just made a magma cube spawning platform in a basalt delta biome, with golems to attract the cubes over to a drop chute with froggos in the bottom and some powder snow to smallify the bigger cubes. It's not the most efficient farm in the world, my spawning platform is too big so half of the cubes don't spot the golems, and they take up some of the mob cap until they despawn or hop close enough to see the golems... but after a few hours of AFK, I've got more froglights than I will EVER need 😆

[@DoomWalker42]

That frog clip was hilarious for some reason 🤣

[@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

[@Timelord79]

Thanks. You just saved me some brain power I don’t need to spend on how to set this up. To work! :D

[@_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.

[@PorkBone8016]

Thank you for what you do. The impact you have goes beyond this wonderful game… Minecraft 🐸

[@oskarcarnwath9665]

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

[@jeebus5833]

I'm glad they made it so easy to just have a new version of light lol,lmao, lmafo, KEKW..... also, very good video and explanations..... thank you.

[@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

[@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

[@rockzalt]

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

[@parsaemamjomeh]

I loved the frog scene 🤣

[@echoanddandelion8890]

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

[@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. 😅

[@TheCDNJumpmaster]

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

[@mikehosier1239]

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

[@eonrier9469]

new drinking game, do a shot everytime pix says hop XD

[@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.

[@TheBuildMiner210]

For singleplayer the way you set it up is fine but I think on multiplayer people should cover it with powdered snow completely to prevent lag from the jump calculations

[@FlyingPingy]

A croacking success Pixl, not roaring ;D

[@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.

[@wchasec]

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

[@cyclopsboi]

if you do more powdered snow i think that will stop the frogs from trying to hop as much as there is a block above their heads

[@TugiFox]

What's the optimal number of frogs and frog ratios in the Froglight Pit?

[@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.

[@Patryc]

this is a hilarious visual

[@Boss-cj6zn]

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

[@devttyUSB0]

@10:05 that jazz music hahahah :')

[@JunshuLiu]

This song is “Stal” by C418, from the album _Minecraft - Volume Beta_

[@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?

[@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 .

[@mikebunce7925]

Firstly, really like your videos, they are the best and most informative on KZbin. I built the frog lights farm and it works except the powdered snow keep braking and I get a lot of endermen in the pit. Is my pit not tall enough or is there something else I can do

[@CanonInDsharp]

thanks a bunch dude

[@jonahknutson6722]

Ok, so I found a treasure bastion and I got it all set up but the problem is there's a warped forest completely surrounding the bastion, is there a way for me to stop the endermen from taking the powdered snow or do I need to find a different bastion.

[@tctheunbeliever]

My Treasure Room appeared in a Warped Forest this time, so I have Endermen mobbing (no pun intended) my farm. Unfortunately they have a bad habit of hopping into the lava then popping into my farm and destroying my powder snow blocks. I had to fill up all the lava pits and replace gravel with stone in a few places where they were grabbing a gravel block and unstopping a hole. I just hope I don't have to find and fill in every bit of lava in the building. I do love this farm, though.
