How to spawn all Frog variants in Minecraft

The kind of Frogs you see in Minecraft will depend on the biome that that Frog grew from a Tadpole into adulthood in. Because Frogs only naturally spawn in swamps, you will regularly see Temperate frogs in your world. However, if you breed some Frogs and collect Tadpoles in a bucket, you can take them to a different biome to become one of the other colored Frogs. Here are all of the biomes each kind of Frog will come from.

Once your Tadpole has grown into one of the above colored Frogs, you can place a Lead on it and take it somewhere else, or make it follow you by holding out Seagrass that it will want to eat. Leading them to an area with Slime can make it so you consistently can return for new Slimeballs in the area.
