In Minecraft, if you want to breed Axolotls, you do indeed need at least two of them. As an avid Minecraft player myself, I can tell you that breeding Axolotls can be a fun and rewarding experience.
To start breeding Axolotls, you’ll need to catch them first. Axolotls can be found in underwater caves or in the Lush Caves biome, which was introduced in the 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update. Once you spot an Axolotl swimming around, you’ll need to catch it using a water bucket.
To catch an Axolotl, simply approach it slowly and right-click with an empty bucket in hand. The game will automatically place the Axolotl in the bucket, and it will turn into a transportable item that you can keep in your inventory. Don’t worry, the Axolotl won’t take any damage from being in the bucket.
Now that you have one Axolotl in a bucket, you’ll need to find another one to breed them. It’s important to note that you cannot breed two Axolotls of the same color variant. There are five different color variants of Axolotls in Minecraft: wild, lucy, cyan, gold, and blue. So make sure you have two different color variants if you want to breed them successfully.
Once you have two different color variants of Axolotls, it’s time to set up the breeding process. Find a suitable location, preferably a large body of water or an aquarium-like structure, and place both Axolotls in the water. Make sure they are close to each other but not too crowded.
Now, it’s just a matter of waiting. Axolotls have a random chance of breeding when they are in the same body of water. After a while, you will notice heart particles appearing above their heads, indicating that they are in love mode and ready to breed. Shortly after, a baby Axolotl will spawn nearby.
Congratulations! You have successfully bred Axolotls in Minecraft. You can repeat this process with different color variants to acquire more Axolotls and create your own little Axolotl paradise.
Breeding Axolotls not only adds to the aesthetics of your Minecraft world but also provides a practical purpose. Axolotls can be used to help you in underwater battles by attacking hostile mobs, such as Guardians and Drowned. They are excellent companions to have on your adventures!
Yes, you do need at least two Axolotls of different color variants to breed them in Minecraft. It’s an enjoyable and immersive aspect of the game that allows you to create a thriving Axolotl community. So go ahead, dive into the depths, catch those Axolotls, and watch them multiply!
