Welcome to a very special Bedrock Beta! I didn’t want to get my hops up and to be honest I was a tad worried that it was just a fever dream. But what if I toad you that this week we’re releasing a new mob into the Overworld’s ecosystem. I don’t mean to be amphibious, er… I mean ambiguous. Sorry, I am practically jumping out of my skin because we have a very exciting surprise for you.
This week’s Bedrock Beta introduces…
Drumroll…
Wait for it…
Logs to the game!
Isn’t that exciting? Finally! Wait. What? We already have logs in the game? But why is everyone at the studio so excited? Oooooh, because we’ve added frogs to the Beta! I hope you enjoy them more than you did these puns, to try out these new features all you have to do is enable The Wild Update Experimental Toggle! Please leave us any specific feedback or suggestions in the thread at aka.ms/MCFrogFeedback, and as always please search and report any bugs you may find at bugs.mojang.com.

- Frogs will spawn in Swamp biomes
- Frogs can croak, jump, swim, and walk on land
- Frogs can eat small Slimes, causing a Slime Ball to drop
- Frogs can be tempted and bred using Seagrass, but this is just a placeholder food for now
- Frogs lay eggs after mating
- Frog eggs that hatch spawn Tadpoles
- Tadpoles can swim in water
