Holdable Frogs

by Arlecine · on Modrinth

Allows frogs to be handheld, after which the frog's tongue is usable to pull faraway entities closer, as well as to obtain froglights.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.21–1.21.8Newest
Minecraft 1.20.1–1.20.6

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.8 ⬇ Download for 1.20.1–1.20.6

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

How I made this mod

How exactly?

First, you need to craft a Frog Holder.

Then, you need to find a frog. You can then use this Frog Holder on a frog. Doing so will place the frog in your hand. That's it! Once you have the frog in your hand, using it will cause it to shoot out its tongue and pull toward you any entity it hits.
