What happened was that I forgot to remove that part of the code when putting it into the beta, so for the first beta, the frogs were actually eating goats.” He noted how “the first time I saw a player posting a video of this, I literally fell off my chair laughing because it was so funny."

Frogs were apparently messy eaters for a while in Minecraft.

These and other bugs have since been removed from the game, so players will probably never see them, but there might just
