NBT Tags for Frog in Minecraft (Java Edition 1.19/1.20)

This Minecraft tutorial explains the NBT tags (formerly called data tags) that you can use for a frog in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19 and 1.20.

Background

In Minecraft Java Edition 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a frog is frog. The frog entity has a unique set of data tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.

What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?

NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as frog). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {variant:cold}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {variant:cold, CustomName:"\"Kermit\""}.

NBT Tag Examples

To summon a frog (ie: green frog):

/summon frog ~ ~ ~ {variant:cold}

To summon a green frog that is named Kermit:

/summon frog ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Kermit\"", variant:cold}

Target Selectors

Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=frog value, you can target frogs:

@e[type=frog]

Target Selector Examples

To change the nearest frog to a temperate frog (ie: orange frog):

/data merge entity @e[type=frog,limit=1,sort=nearest] {variant:temperate}

To kill all frogs:

/kill @e[type=frog]

Next, learn how to use the game commands in Minecraft.
