Colours

---

Axolotls can be one of five colors: pink (leucistic, referred to as "lucy" in its texture file), brown (wild), yellow (gold), cyan and blue.


When breeding Axolotls, there is a ¹⁄₁₂₀₀ (0.083%) chance of the offspring having the blue mutation, leaving ¹¹⁹⁹⁄₁₂₀₀ (99.917%) chance of matching one of the parents (including blue parents).

Behavior

---

Axolotls are passive toward players and can be attached to leads. Axolotls give Regeneration I for 100 game ticks (5 seconds) per Axolotl in the fight, up to a duration of 2400 game ticks (2 minutes)‌[Java Edition only], and remove Mining Fatigue when a player kills a mob that is in combat with an axolotl.

Axolotls attack all aquatic mobs except turtles, dolphins and other axolotls. They also attack drowned. An axolotl deals 2♥ points of damage per attack.

After killing a non-hostile mob, there is a two minute cooldown before another non-hostile mob can be hunted. Axolotls prioritize attacking hostile mobs over non-hostile mobs.

If an axolotl takes damage underwater, it may play dead, dropping to the ground for 200 game ticks (10 seconds) while gaining Regeneration I. Hostile aquatic mobs ignore healing axolotls. There is a 1⁄3 chance for an axolotl to play dead to recover 4♥♥. In addition, if either a random integer from 0–2 (inclusive) is less than the amount of incoming damage, or the axolotl's health before the damage is dealt is less than 50% of its maximum health, it plays dead.

Axolotls can leave the water and walk about on land. They tend to return to the nearest water source because they die outside of water after 6000 game ticks (5 minutes), although they can wander too far and die before they return. Axolotls can also die out of water as passengers in a boat. Unlike fish, dolphins, and squid, axolotls do not die on land in rain or a thunderstorm.

Unlike most mobs, axolotls cannot be moved by flowing water. However, they are still affected by Bubble Columns.

As aquatic mobs, they take extra damage from the Impaling enchantment.‌[Java Edition only]‌[until JE Edition Combat Tests] Unlike other aquatic mobs, they cause nearby pufferfish to inflate.

Axolotls picked up with a water bucket and re-spawned do not despawn.

Axolotls can be renamed by placing a bucket of axolotl into an anvil, the same as if renaming any other item.

Breeding

Main article: Breeding.

Adult Axolotls can be bred and led by buckets of tropical fish. After breeding, a baby axolotl will spawns and 1-7 experience points (XP in short) is generated. The parents cannot be bred again for the following 5 minutes in Java Edition or 1 minute in Bedrock Edition. The baby zxolotl has a ⅟₂₀₀₀ chance to be the rare blue varient; otherwise, it inherits the colours of a parent at random. Babies follow adults, and grow to adults in 20 minutes. The growth of a baby axolotl can be sped up by buckets of tropical fish; each use reduces the remaining growing time by 10%.
