The Minecraft 1.19 The Wild update extends the nature section of the game by expanding swamp biomes and introducing Frogs into the mix. While you are sure to encounter plenty of orange-colored Frogs, you can make green and white ones by letting Tadpoles mature in the proper biome. However, moving them to that area is the only way to do this. You will not find Tadpoles in those other areas natively. If you are having trouble moving the Frog spawns, here is how to pick up Tadpoles and relocate them around.

How to pick up and move Tadpoles on Minecraft

When two Frogs go into love mode in Minecraft after being given Slimeballs, one of them will search for the nearest water source block available where they can lay their eggs. This Frogspawn cannot be picked up. Do not try to interact with it even if you have a Silk Touch tool on you. You will break the eggs, and no Tadpoles will spawn. Instead, wait for the Frogspawn to hatch into Tadpoles and begin swimming around. This process can take up to ten minutes and will produce between two and six Tadpoles.

When the Tadpoles are swimming around, get yourself an empty Iron Bucket and fill it with water. Now interact with a Tadpole to scoop them up. They will be in the bucket, and you can carry them anywhere. Carry them to one of the biomes below and place them in water until they fully mature to grow into one of the three Frog colors.
