Axolotl Minecraft 1.18 - Mob Guide

Axolotl in Minecraft 1.18 is a friendly mob that lives in the water. Here's everything you need to know about his spawn locations, behavior and breeding.

Spawn

Adult axolotls spawn in groups of 1-4 in water if there are other blocks above Y = 63. Hence, these mobs are most often found in caves.

After world generation, axolotls will individually spawn in unlit areas if there are blocks with the tag less than 5 blocks from spawn. base_stone_overworld (e.g. stone, deep schist, andesite, diorite, granite or tuff).

Color

The axolotl comes in five different colors: blue, gold (yellow), leucist (pink), wild (brown), and blue.

The blue color is a rare mutation, so such an axolotl can appear when breeding two individuals with a chance ¹⁄₁₂₀₀ (~ 0,083%). Otherwise, the offspring will acquire the color of one of their parents with a probability ¹¹⁹⁹⁄₁₂₀₀ (this also applies to blue parents).

Behavior

Axolotls are friendly to players and can be tied to a leash, which greatly speeds up the movement of the mob. Axolotls apply the Regeneration effect on the player and remove Fatigue from him if he killed a mob hostile to the axolotl.

The axolotl is hostile to the guards, the ancient guards and the drowned, who, in addition to the ancient guard, are also aggressively disposed against him. This mob also hunts fish, octopuses and glowing octopuses, and after a successful kill of the victim, it recovers within two minutes. Axolotl gives more priority to hostile mobs.

Since axolotls are aquatic mobs, they take extra damage from tridents with the Pierce enchantment.

When an axolotl takes damage, it can pretend to be dead by immobilizing for 200 ticks and gaining the effect "Regeneration I"if it is in water. Mobs hostile to axolotls ignore them in this form. Pretending to be dead will only happen if no damage is dealt from being on land for a long time. The axolotl also has a chance ²⁄₃ not pretend to be dead, however if a random integer between 0 and 2 is less than the amount of incoming damage, or the axolotl's health before dealing damage is less than 50%, then it will still take this action. From a technical point of view, this mob will not pretend if it takes fatal damage, although this does not play any role, since the axolotl will die.

If the axolotl is out of the water, it starts taking suffocation damage after about 6000 ticks (5 minutes) and eventually dies, but rain and thunderstorms can prevent it from dying.

Breeding

Adult axolotls can be bred with tropical fish buckets.

As a result of breeding, a baby axolotl and 1-7 experience points appear. A pair of axolotls can breed again after 5 minutes. The cub in rare cases has a chance ¹⁄₁₂₀₀ appear with a blue color as a result of reproduction; otherwise, it will take on the color of one of its parents.

It takes 20 minutes for a baby to grow up. Its growth can be accelerated by tropical fish by 10% of the time.

The axolotl has entity data associated with it, which contains various properties of the mob.

  •  Rotation: Two TAG_Floats displays the rotation of the entity in degrees.
    •  Clockwise rotation of an entity around the y-axis (also called deflection). The value of the angle of rotation of the entity to the south is 0, that is, the countdown starts from the south. The value does not exceed 360 degrees.

Interesting Facts

• In the real world axolotl is a larva of the critically endangered Mexican ambystoma. Following the trend, Mojang developers are adding endangered species such as polar bears, giant pandas, corals, bees and sea turtles to the game to draw people's attention to environmental issues.
  • The axolotl's ability to impose the "Regeneration" effect on itself refers to the real ability of this animal to restore its lost and damaged body parts, which is of great interest to science.
• The axolotl was the first amphibian to be added to Minecraft.
  • However, the first amphibian to be announced is the frog shown at MINECON Live 2019.
• Unlike other amphibians, in the real world, the axolotl does not need to go to land and spends most of its time underwater.
• Blue is the only color of the axolotl not found in the real world.
• Axolotl is the first mob added in 1.17.
• Although the axolotl is an amphibian, it does not lay eggs when it breeds in the game, thus resembling mammalian reproduction.
  • Birds also have this feature, but the turtle, which is a reptile, still lays eggs.
