Axolotl

Axolotls are tameable neutral mobs.

Spawning
Axolotls currently 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: leucistic (pink), wild type (brown), golden albino (yellow), white albino (frosty blue) and rare (blue).

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

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

Axolotls are always hostile to fish and squid and attack these mobs on sight. Axolotls can be commanded to attack drowned, guardians, and elder guardians when tempted with tropical fish by a player. On the other hand, axolotls are passive to these hostile mobs when not actively commanded by the player. Drowned, guardians, and elder guardians are always hostile to axolotls.

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 5 min. 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 receives 1–7 experience.
