Frogs are passive mobs that were released on June 7, 2022, as part of Minecraft 1.19 The Wild Update. These amphibious mobs naturally spawn exclusively in the swamp biomes, especially Mangrove Swamps.
Frogs are friendly, everyday critters that fans have anticipated being added to the game for years. It was finally revealed that frogs were planned to get an official release during Minecraft Live 2021.
It was during this same event that other features for the 1.19 update, such as tadpoles, would be announced for an official inclusion in Minecraft.

Before their official reveal, frogs were simply contenders for an in-game release. They were initially pitched as a simple addition to the Mangrove Swamp, of which the biome was a contender in the biome vote of MINECON Live 2019.
The mangrove swamp ended up coming second in the final results of the vote, setting its in-game release date further back than the content of Minecraft Caves & Cliffs Parts I & II.
There are 3 types of frogs in Minecraft, dependent on where they spawn
Frogs will only spawn naturally in the swamp and Mangrove Swamp biomes as of Minecraft 1.19. There are three different color variants that a frog can be, determined by where it was spawned or raised.
Since frogs can be raised from tadpoles, players won't need to use cheats or commands in order to spawn frogs in different biomes in order to see the three color variations. All they would need to do is breed two frogs and raise the tadpole eggs in the biome that correlates with the desired color variation.
The three frog variants are temperate (orange), cold (green), and warm (white).
