Here's how to breed axolotls in Minecraft:
Requirements:
-
Two adult Axolotls: They can be any of the different axolotl colors (wild type, lucy, gold, axolotl cyan, axolotl wild pink).
-
Bucket of Tropical Fish: This will be used to lure and enter breeding mode for the axolotls.
Steps:
-
Find or capture Axolotls: Axolotls can be found in underground water sources like lush caves and underwater ruins. They are passive mobs and won't attack you. You can use a water bucket to scoop them up and transport them to a safe breeding location.
-
Prepare a breeding pool: Axolotls need water to breed. Build a small pool of water at least one block deep and large enough for the two axolotls to swim around comfortably.
-
Get the Axolotls close together: Lure or gently herd the axolotls into the breeding pool and ensure they are within a few blocks of each other.
-
Enter breeding mode: Hold a bucket of tropical fish in your hand and select one of the axolotls by tapping or right-clicking on it with the bucket in hand. If both axolotls are adults and have not bred recently, hearts will appear above them indicating breeding mode.
-
Wait for the baby Axolotl: If breeding is successful, red hearts will appear over both adult axolotls, and one of them will emit particles. After a while, a baby axolotl will spawn in the water.
Additional Tips:
-
Feeding the baby axolotl: Baby axolotls (called "axolotl chi" or "w tadpole") will grow into adults over time. You can speed up this process by feeding them buckets of tropical fish.
-
Breeding cooldown: After breeding successfully, there's a cooldown period of about 5 minutes before the adult axolotls can be bred again.
Axolotls don't need to be tamed to breed.
