This is how Minecraft 1.19 players can find and capture frogs

Where to find the new mob

Frogs can be common and rare depending on if the world is new or old. Many seasoned players who will be playing in their old worlds will face problems trying to find the new mob simply because any new feature that comes in an update is generated in completely new chunks. Hence, players might have to travel far and wide to find these new mobs in the old world.

Other than that, these mobs will spawn in Swamp and Mangrove Swamp Biomes in Minecraft 1.19.

There are three types of frogs based on color: white, orange, and green. White and orange variants spawn in Mangrove Swamp and Normal Swamp, respectively, whereas green variants do not spawn naturally in the world. If players want green variants, they will have to take Tadpoles to a cold biome and grow them.

Unfortunately, these cute and derpy mobs cannot be tamed properly. Even if players feed them items, frogs will not follow them like wolves or cats. Their behavior is just like normal farm animals. Hence, the only option that remains is to capture them.

These mobs can either be lured if a player is holding slimeballs, or they can also be leashed. They can be easily captured since they will not run away if a player approaches them. Gamers can leash the mob and simply take it anywhere they want.

Alternatively, they can also be bred to generate frogspawn eggs that will hatch into a new baby mob called Tadpole. These baby mobs can be picked up in a water bucket and can be taken places. When gamers reach their desired location, these Tadpoles can be carefully poured out into a pond where they can grow into a frog.
