To breed axolotls in Minecraft you need to feed two adult ones using a bucket of tropical fish. After feeding them you will see hearts above their heads and after a moment a baby axolotl will appear. In this article we will go through all the steps that will help you breed axolotls in a simple and effective way from getting the right fish to spawning a baby axolotl.
Steps to Breed Axolotls in Minecraft
Get Tropical Fish in a Bucket
To breed axolotls you will need a bucket of tropical fish so first get a regular bucket and then go to biomes where these fish spawn:
- Mangrove Swamp
- Lukewarm Ocean
- Deep Lukewarm Ocean
- Warm Ocean
- Lush Caves
Once you find a fish click on it with the bucket to catch it inside. This way you will get a bucket of tropical fish which is required for breeding axolotls. It is worth collecting more of them so you can breed a larger number of axolotls.
Find Two Adult Axolotls
Then you will need to find two adult axolotls which spawn only in the Lush Caves biome in underground water pools. This means you will have to explore underground in search of a cave filled with water and glowing vegetation. After finding a few axolotls make sure they are adults or wait for them to grow up because only then they can breed.
Feed Axolotls with Tropical Fish
The final step is to feed the adult axolotls. Approach two axolotls and right click on them while holding a bucket of tropical fish.
After a moment they will enter love mode and a baby axolotl will appear.
FAQ
How Often Can You Breed Axolotls in Minecraft?
Axolotls have a cooldown after breeding which lasts about 5 minutes. This means that after producing a baby axolotl you will need to wait before feeding them again because they will not enter love mode during that time. That is why it is worth having more than one pair so you can increase your population faster and breed different pairs alternately.
Can Axolotls Breed Different Colors in Minecraft?
When breeding axolotls they can have different colors and there is a chance that the baby will inherit the color of one of the parents. However there is a very small chance of getting a different color which is blue and it does not spawn naturally in the game world. This means players often breed them many times to obtain all color variants and create a unique collection in their base.
What Do You Use to Breed Axolotls in Minecraft?
To breed axolotls you can only use a bucket of tropical fish. Regular fish such as salmon or cod will not work.
How Do You Breed Blue Axolotls in Minecraft?
The only way to obtain a blue axolotl is by breeding regular axolotls and relying on a very low chance which is about 1 in 2000. This means you will need to make many attempts before a blue one appears. During this process you use the same food as always which is a bucket of tropical fish.
