Frog Variants in Minecraft

Mob colors

Frogs have three types, and the type determines the biome — not where they were born, but where the tadpole grew. The type determines which frog fire spawns from a magma cube.

3 variants. A frog's variant depends on its biome: warm in warm biomes, cold in cold biomes, and temperate elsewhere.

How is it selected?

A frog appearing in the world gets a color based on biome: warm in warm biomes, cold in cold biomes, and temperate in others.

A tadpole that matures into a frog chooses its appearance again based on the biome where it grew (Tadpole → Frog.finalizeSpawn): a bucket with a tadpole can be transported to the correct biome.

In NBT: variant — type ID, for example variant:"minecraft:cold".

Cubs

Frogs do not produce frogs — they lay eggs, from which tadpoles emerge, and each tadpole's color is determined by the biome where it grows.
