Build /summon commands with custom NBT for every vanilla mob — baby variants, equipment, colors, and mob-specific options.

Run /summon from an operator’s chat, a command block, or the server console. Not every internal NBT field is covered — this generates the commonly-used ones for each mob.

How to Use the Frog Summon Generator

  1. Type frog into the search box, or pick it from the Passive group in the dropdown.
  2. Choose a Variant – Temperate, Warm, or Cold – to control the frog’s skin color.
  3. Copy the generated /summon command and paste it into a command block, the server console, or an operator’s chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

The base command is /summon minecraft:frog ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. This generator’s one mob-specific field maps to:

  • variant:"minecraft:temperate" – the default gray-green frog, matching swamp and most other biomes.
  • variant:"minecraft:warm" – an orange frog, matching the variant that naturally appears in warm biomes like jungles.
  • variant:"minecraft:cold" – a white/pale frog, matching the variant that naturally appears in cold biomes.

In survival, a frog’s variant is set permanently the moment it hatches from a tadpole, based on the biome the tadpole was in at that instant – it can’t change again afterward. Summoning bypasses that hatching step entirely, so you can place any variant in any biome you like, including a Cold frog sitting in a desert.

This generator has no baby/tadpole toggle – a summoned frog always spawns as a full adult. To get a tadpole, use the general Summon Command tab and target the separate minecraft:tadpole entity instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the frog’s variant affect anything besides its color?

No – Temperate, Warm, and Cold frogs behave identically in combat, breeding, and movement. The only difference is the texture applied to the model; none of them get a stat bonus or special ability from their variant.

Will this summoned frog eat small slimes and magma cubes like a wild one?

Yes. Eating small slimes (and, since froglights were added, small magma cubes too) is default frog AI behavior built into the entity itself, not something toggled by NBT – a summoned frog behaves exactly like a naturally spawned one once it’s in the world.

Can I summon a frog riding something, or holding an item?

Not through this generator’s dedicated fields – Frog only exposes the Variant option here. For riding setups (a frog on a boat, or a frog as a passenger), use the Ride Command Generator after summoning both entities.

Do I need a specific Minecraft version for frog variants to work?

Frogs and their three variants were added in the Wild Update (Java 1.19), so any command generated here needs 1.19 or newer to run without an “unknown entity” or “unknown tag” error.
