Axolotl

Axolotls are tameable neutral mobs.

Spawning
Axolotls do not spawn naturally in the world, being only available from buckets or spawn eggs in the Creative inventory.

Variants
Axolotls come in five different varieties: lucy/leucistic (lilac), wild (brown), gold (yellow), cyan albino (light blue) and rare (blue).

The first four varieties are equally common, while the blue variety is rarer.

Behavior
Axolotls attack fish, squid, drowned, guardians and elder guardians. They attack fish and squid always, but drowned, guardians and elder guardians only when an axolotl in a group is given tropical fish.

Axolotls are neutral mobs, only attacking players if an axolotl is attacked first. If a player kills a mob that axolotl is in combat with, the regeneration effect is applied for some seconds and mining fatigue is removed.

As axolotls are aquatic mobs, they take extra damage from tridents with the Impaling enchantment.

If an axolotl takes near fatal damage, it pretends to be dead, dropping to the ground and gaining the I effect. Monsters will ignore recovering axolotls.

On land, axolotls try to move to the nearest water source because they die outside of water after five minutes. Axolotls do not die on land if it the weather is rain or thunder. By collecting them in a bucket, players can tame and lead them around. The tamed axolotl is passive to the owner.

Breeding
Adult axolotls can be led and bred with tropical fish or buckets of tropical fish. After breeding, a baby spawns and the parents cannot breed again for 5 minutes, while a player recives 1-7 experience.

Entity data
Axolotls have entity data associated with them that contain various properties.

Trivia

 * Axolotls are the first ever amphibians added to the game. However, they are not the first to be announced; that honor goes to the frog, announced at MINECON Live 2019.
 * Blue is the only color variant of axolotls that are not based on real life.
 * This color variant may be a reference to Mudkip, the water type starter Pokémon in the Pokémon series.
