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 regeneration 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 minutes (6000 game ticks). 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

Main article: 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.

Trivia

  • Axolotls are small Mexican salamanders which are critically endangered, following Mojang's trend of adding endangered species such as giant pandas and bees into the game for awareness purposes.
  • Their regeneration abilities allude to their real-life regeneration capabilities, which are of major interest to science.
  • Axolotls are the first amphibian mobs implemented into Minecraft.
    • However, it was not the first announced one since frogs were announced at MINECON Live 2019.
  • Blue is the only color variant of axolotls that are not based on real life.
  • While being picked up in a bucket, the player will still get the advancement "Tactical Fishing".
