List of axolotls found in Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update

Axolotl was the first amphibian mob added to Minecraft. They were first announced at the Minecon 2020 Live event. Axolotls are available in five different colors. Sadly for players, their color is the only difference, while their behavior remains the same.

Players can find five types of axolotls in Minecraft:

  • Blue
  • Cyan
  • Gold
  • Pink
  • Brown

Out of all of them, the blue color axolotl is the rarest type. It only has a 0.083% chance of spawning.

Axolotls require a special environment to spawn in Minecraft. These adorable mobs can be hard to find since they spawn only in the water below height level 63. Players can discover axolotls spawning in small pool caves found underground.

Finding axolotls will be easy in part 2 of Caves and Cliffs coming towards the end of this year. In Minecraft 1.18, Mojang will add new waterlogged caves. In these caves, players will be able to find axolotls and glow squids.

Like wolves, axolotls are a new companion for Minecrafters. These adorable mobs are pretty scary against aquatic mobs, except dolphins and turtles. Players can pick axolotls in a bucket and take them to fight underwater mobs, such as guardians, elder guardians, and drowneds.

Since axolotls are so cute, they are a must-have addition for every player's aquarium and ponds. However, they are hostile towards regular squids and glow squids, so please keep them away from each other.
