Implement in Future A Quest for Froglights - Putting a Frog in the Barn Industry / Killing them could provide Froglights

[Hypotemabus]

I've been trying to gather Froglights for a build I have in mind and as frogs spawn in the Marshes of Ascalon I thought they'd fit the theme.

Today I took my Frog Herbert for a walk in the nether to hunt baby magmacubes. Sadly I only managed to gather 9 froglights after what felt like an eternity because I was unlucky on magmacube spawns. Whilst I could perhaps recount a rather colourful tale of this ribbiting expedition, (hopping in the way of ghast fireballs with an air of "Mr president! Get down!" and escorting a frog through spawn to the docks for 12 minutes with a slimeball because he jumped and broke his lead), I might describe the experience as Toadally harrowing.

Ideas to keep Herbert from croaking it in a ghastly neighbourhood or me forgetting to bring my sanity back with me on the Harbinger of Flame:

1) I could pop Herbert in the barn to produce froglights with the cost of slimeballs or magmacream?
2) I could feed frogs of different colours magmacream to get some?
3) Different coloured frogs could drop them when they die?

Hop to hear from you soon,
an aspiring froglight farmer

The intention is for frogs to drop the corresponding froglights on death, rather than the vanilla mechanic of eating magma cubes. This would also mean they work in barns (so you could keep Herbert alive and producing lights). Perhaps we frogot to implement this. We'll try and kermit the change in the near future, just remember you will need biome control in order to farm your froggy friends.

Might I suggest the Magma Cube Nether Shrines as well...

I did give that a wee try but the shrine Magmacubes didn't seem to have a baby Magmacube phase for the frog to eat.

Ahh! Hoppy days!
