Being the first amphibian in the Minecraft game, Axolotls offer quite a bit of challenge to players. You need to learn a lot about them if you want to capitalize on their potential. For starters, how do you tame axolotl in Minecraft?

In this article, we shall examine axolotl in Minecraft in detail so that you can understand its behavior.

Where do you find axolotl in Minecraft?

Axolotls prefer staying in total darkness. You will find them in pools that are inside lush caves (below Y-level 63). The caves are not too deep, and to find them (caves), look for any Azalea tree on the surface.

As far as appearance goes, the axolotls come in these colors:

• Gold
• Lucy (pink)
• Cyan
• Wild (brown)
• Blue

The colors are usually drawn from those of the parents. Blue is the rarest with a 1 in 1,200 chance of spawning. Their beautiful appearance is part of the reason Minecraft players can’t resist the urge to tame them.

How to tame axolotls

Taming axolotls is as simple as catching them in a bucket. They are passive animals that hardly resist being captured. While in the bucket, you can take the axolotls wherever you go.

They will gladly swim along. In fact, while tagging along they play the role of aquatic dogs whereby they attack any hostile mobs and fish and make sure drowned guardians don’t get close to you.

You should be careful how you handle them. For one, the axolotls in Minecraft can’t survive more than five minutes out of water.

In case they’re hit hard and take damage, axolotls play dead and enter into regeneration mode. This mechanism gives it an edge over hostile mobs as it’s able to recover in peace and re-join the fight with more vigor.

A player can be affected by the regeneration effect temporarily when fighting to kill a mob that the axolotl was fighting.

How to breed axolotls in Minecraft

A bucket of Tropical Fish is all it takes to get axolotls to breed. Make sure two adult axolotls are together. Feed them tropical fish and you will see red hearts that indicate they’ve entered “love mode.”

Before long baby axolotls will spawn and grow to full size after 20 minutes. To hasten the growth process so that they stop following the parents around, feed them more fish.

You can breed as many axolotls as you want and use 0them as an army to fight underwater enemies. They will kill anything except a turtle or dolphin.

Tropical fish also doubles up as food for axolotl in Minecraft. As such, it’s the best bait if you want to capture axolotl or lure them towards a place. Now, to get a bucket full of tropical fish, make a bucket with 3 iron, then scoop water with it on top of the fish.

To spawn axolotl in creative mode, use an axolotl bucket, a spawn egg, or the summon command.

Conclusion

Thanks to axolotl’s love for tropical fish, you can control them as you please. This makes the game enjoyable and easy to play.

So, the bottom line is, make sure you never run out of tropical fish. And, be nice to the Minecraft axolotl in a bucket because they can fight against any mob for you.
