Axolotl
Axolotl — mob.
Natural generation
Axolotls spawn in lush caves in groups of four to six. The spawn block below must be clay, and common groups use the lucy, wild, gold, or cyan variants.

|---|---|
| Group size | 4–6 |
| Spawn substrate | Clay |
| Common variants | Lucy, wild, gold, cyan |
Obtaining
An axolotl can be carried in an axolotl bucket as an aquatic companion. Bucket storage preserves its variant and age data.
| Bucket item | Axolotl bucket |
|---|---|
| Stored data | Variant, age, and hunting cooldown |
Breeding
The axolotl food tag contains tropical fish buckets. Feeding two axolotls can produce a baby; the blue variant is the rare offspring with a one-in-1,200 chance.
