The Overworld tadpoles are unique, because on planet Earth they don’t just come from frogs – but from almost any amphibian. It takes about one in-game day for the tadpole to grow up, but you can accelerate that by feeding the tadpole slimeballs. A plains biome will hatch a temperate frog.
For example, a snowy slopes biome will hatch a cold frog, while a savanna biome will hatch a warm frog. So try to keep them apart if you want your tadpoles to survive.Īssuming they do survive, a tadpole will grow up into one of three different kinds of frog depending on the warmth level of the biome it grows up in. Oh, and they have a natural predator – the axolotl, which actively hunts tadpoles. They can be lured with a slimeball, and picked up using a bucket of water. They swim around in water, and flop about trying to get to the nearest water if they find themselves on land. Like most babies, tadpoles don’t do a whole lot. Once laid, frogspawn will take about ten minutes to hatch, and when it does it’ll create 2-5 tadpoles. Instead, they’re produced by a block of frogspawn, which is created when you breed a couple of frogs together using slimeballs. Tadpoles don’t generate in the world when it’s created, unlike most other passive mobs.
