Axolotls are adorable aquatic mobs that can tracked down in the lush caves biome. We’ll walk you through exactly how to breed them, including how to get a rare blue axolotl (with and without cheats). If you’re ready to learn everything there is to know about Minecraft axolotls, read on.

Things You Should Know

  • Feed 2 axolotls using 2 separate buckets of tropical fish.
  • Watch hearts appear over the axolotls’ heads after they eat. Within a few seconds, they’ll breed and create a baby axolotl.
  • Wait 20 minutes for the baby axolotl to become an adult.

    Collect wild axolotls using an empty bucket —you can find them swimming around the lush caves biome. Bring them back to an enclosed location on your farm that has a pool of water.
    • Similar to frogs, axolotls can’t be “tamed” like wolves and cats .
    • To automatically get the lush cave biome, create a new world with seeds like:

      • -6281032827949366960
      • 8982479184696970002
    • You can also attach a lead to an axolotl and guide it around. Just keep it close to the water, as axolotls die if they spend more than 5 minutes continuously on land. [1]

    While holding a bucket of tropical fish, right-click on each axolotl to feed them—you’ll need 2 buckets to feed both. Hearts will appear over both axolotls’ heads, and a few seconds later, a baby axolotl will be born.
    • To get a bucket of tropical fish: Scoop up a tropical fish in a bucket. These fish are found in oceans, lush caves (like axolotls), and mangrove swamps. [2]

    Expect the baby axolotl to stick around their parents until they’re fully grown up.

    Axolotls won’t attack dolphins, frogs, or turtles, but they will attack most other aquatic mobs, like squid, tropical fish, and Guardians.
    • Axolotls are aggressive toward Drowned mobs, too.
