Axolotls are passive mobs.

Spawning

Axolotls do not spawn naturally in the world, being only available from buckets or spawn eggs in the Creative inventory. They can also be obtained by the /summon command.

Axolotls despawn over time if not spawned by a bucket.

Colors

Axolotls come in five different varieties: cyan, gold/yellow, lucy (pink), wild (brown), and blue. The first four varieties are equally common, while the blue variety is rarer. Specifically, the blue variant has a ¹⁄₁₂₀₀ (~0.083%) chance, giving the common varieties a ¹¹⁹⁹⁄₄₈₀₀ (~24.98%) chance individually.

Axolotls picked up and re-spawned with a bucket will not preserve their color. Baby axolotls picked up and re-spawned with a bucket will not preserve their growth stage and turn into an adult stage.

Behavior

Axolotls can be attached to leads and are passive to players. Axolotls were intended to give Regeneration and remove Mining Fatigue when a player kills a mob that an axolotl is in combat with; however, this currently does not work.

Axolotls are hostile to fish and squid. Axolotls will only attack drowned and guardians (but not elder guardians) when tempted with tropical fish by a player. Drowned and guardians will always attack axolotls on sight.

As axolotls are aquatic mobs, they take extra damage from tridents with the Impaling enchantment.

If an axolotl takes damage, it may pretend to be dead, dropping to the ground for 200 game ticks (10 seconds) and gaining Regeneration I if in water. Monsters will ignore recovering axolotls. For an axolotl to play dead, the damage must not be from drying out on land and there is a random ²⁄₃ chance for the axolotl to not play dead. In addition, if either a random integer from 0–2 (inclusive) is less than the amount of incoming damage, or the axolotl's health before the damage is dealt is less than 50% of its maximum health, it then plays dead. Internally, they will not attempt to play dead if the damage will kill them, though this has no effect since the axolotl will die either way.

On land, axolotls try to move to the nearest water source because they die outside of water after 6000 game ticks (5 minutes). Axolotls do not die on land if the weather is rain or thunder.

Breeding

Main article: Breeding

Adult axolotls can be led and bred with tropical fish or buckets of tropical fish.

After breeding, a baby axolotl spawns, the parents cannot breed again for 5 minutes and 1–7 experience is spawned. The baby axolotl has a ¹⁄₁₂₀₀ chance to be the rare blue variant; otherwise, one of the parents' variants will be selected at random.

Babies take 20 minutes to grow up and follow adults. The growth of baby axolotls can be slowly accelerated using tropical fish; each use takes 10% off of the remaining time to grow up.

History

October 3, 2020					Axolotls are announced at Minecraft Live 2020.
					They are shown to spawn in lush caves biomes.
October 3, 2020					An unreleased green variant was shown at the Minecraft Live 2020 recap, which was not shown on the live event.
Upcoming Java Edition
1.17 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[:Category:Combat|Category:Combat]]<br/>[[Category:Items]] [[fr:Catégorie:Combat]] [[zh:Category:武器]]</li><li>[[Ender Pearl|Ender Pearl]]<br/> {{ItemEntity |image=Ender Pearl.png |renewable=Yes |stackable=Yes (16) |size=Height: 0.25 Blocks<br>Width: 0.25 Blocks }} An '''ender pearl''' is an [[item]] that can be thrown and [[teleport|teleports]] the thrower to where it lands, and used to craft [[eye of ender|eyes of ender]] which are required to access [[the End]]. == Obtaining == === Mob loot === An [[enderman]] has a 50% chance to drop 1 ender pearl when killed. The drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], with a maximum of 4 with Looting III. === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|ender-pearl}} A [[trapped chest]] always containing 2 ender pearls can be found in the "fake end portal" room of [[woodland mansion]]s. === Trading === {{IN|java}}, expert-level [[Trading#Cleric|cleric villagers]] have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an ender pearl for 5 [[emerald]]s. {{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cleric villagers sell one ender pearl for 5 emeralds. === Bartering === [[Piglin]]s have a {{frac|10|459}} (4.27) chance to [[barter]] 3-4 ender pearls when given a [[gold ingot]]. == Usage == Ender pearls can be thrown by pressing {{control|use}}. After it is thrown, the ender pearl is consumed, and the player teleports to where it lands, taking {{hp|5}} [[fall damage]]. Wearing armor enchanted with [[Protection]] and/or [[Feather Falling]] reduces the damage taken from the ender pearl. Ender pearls have a small cone of travel; they do not all follow the same path when thrown in the same direction. The direction and velocity of ender pearl throws is slightly randomized. They can travel about 30 blocks when thrown straight up, and up to 54 blocks forward when thrown at an optimum launch angle of ~35° (on even ground). The thrower's vertical velocity influences the throw. Hence timing a throw with a jump can increase the throwing range to 42 blocks when thrown straight up and 64 blocks forward at a 35° angle. Throwing while falling significantly decreases the range. Ender pearls collide with all [[minecart]] types, [[boat]]s, [[end crystal]]s and [[nether portal]]s, and travel through [[end portal]]s. Ender pearls that fall into the [[void]] disappear, and do not trigger the player to teleport. However, ender pearl entities (instead of dropped items) are ''not'' destroyed by lava and will teleport the player to the bottom of lava pools/lava oceans. Ender pearls have a cooldown of one second before they can be used again. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay on the ender pearl that shrinks and must disappear before the player can use it again. If there are other inventory or hotbar slots containing ender pearls, they are covered with the white overlay as well.<ref>{{bug|MC-88236|||WAI}}</ref> Ender pearls can be thrown into [[end gateway]]s to reach the outer islands of the End. They can also be thrown into the [[exit portal]] to reach the player's spawn point. Ender pearl teleportation makes no sound ''itself''{{only|java}}, but does emit a "small fall" sound at the destination when applying teleportation damage to the player. === Stasis chamber === Ender pearls are affected by [[bubble column]]s. An ender pearl can remain afloat on top of an upward bubble column, allowing it to be stored indefinitely. A mechanism can then be triggered to make the ender pearl hit a solid surface (e.g. by closing a [[trapdoor]]), teleporting the thrower back to the setup wherever they are. === Spawning endermites === An ender pearl has a 10% chance to spawn an [[endermite]] when it lands. This is the only way through which endermites can spawn, without using cheats. The endermite spawns at ''the player's position'' when the pearl lands{{only|je}}, or at the pearl's landing site{{only|be}}. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage}} == Sounds == {{edition|java}}:<br> Thrown ender pearls use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events. {{Sound table |sound=Bow shoot.ogg |subtitle=Ender Pearl flies |source=neutral |description=When an ender pearl is thrown |id=entity.ender_pearl.throw |translationkey=subtitles.entity.ender_pearl.throw |volume=0.5 |pitch={{frac|1|3}}-0.5 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{Edition|Bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Bow shoot.ogg |source=player |description=When an ender pearl is thrown |id=random.bow |volume=0.5 |pitch=0.33-0.5 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Item |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Ender Pearl |spritetype=item |nameid=ender_pearl |form=item |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=java |firstcolumnname=Entity |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Thrown Ender Pearl |spritetype=entity |spritename=Ender Pearl |nameid=ender_pearl |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Item |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Ender Pearl |spritetype=item |nameid=ender_pearl |id=422 |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Entity |shownumericids=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Ender Pearl |spritetype=entity |nameid=ender_pearl |id=87 |foot=1}} ===Entity Data=== Thrown ender pearls have entity data that define various properties of the entity. {{el|java}}: {{main|Entity format}} {{/ED}} {{el|bedrock}}: : See [[Bedrock Edition level format/Entity format]]. == Achievements == {{Load achievements|Beam Me Up}} == Advancements == {{load advancements|Remote Getaway;Bullseye}} == History == {{History|java beta}} {{History||1.8|snap=Pre-release|[[File:Ender Pearl JE1.png|32px]] Added ender pearls along with [[endermen]]. |Ender pearls have no use, but can stack up to 64.}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease|Ender pearls are now less commonly found near bodies of [[water]] since [[endermen]] now teleport away when in contact with water.

Pearls in unloaded chunks do not disappear if their owner dies. *If the player throws an ender pearl in Survival mode and changes to Creative mode before the pearl lands, the player is still teleported. *The player is still teleported by throwing an ender pearl and entering [[the Nether]] before it lands. The pearl is not lost if an ender pearl is thrown into a [[nether portal]] and the player travels through the portal; the pearl lands and teleports the player as usual. *If multiple ender pearls are thrown in succession, the player can be hurt only once from fall damage within about a one-second span. *If a [[player]] dies from ender pearl teleportation, the [[death message]] says: "<player> hit the ground too hard". *A thrown ender pearl faces toward the player in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontal in [[third-person view]].

Trivia

• Axolotls are small salamanders that are endemic to Mexico, which are critically endangered, following Mojang's trend of adding endangered species such as polar bears, giant pandas, sea turtles and bees into the game for awareness purposes.
  • Their regeneration abilities allude to their real-life regeneration capabilities, which are of major interest to science.
• Axolotls are the first amphibian mobs implemented into Minecraft.
  • However, it was not the first announced one since frogs were announced at MINECON Live 2019.
  • Unlike many amphibians, axolotls are effectively 100% aquatic and seldom require dry land, although they occasionally do surface for air.
• Blue is the only color variant of axolotls that are not based on real life.
• When axolotls are standing on a slime block, they will start to shake. This is likely a bug.
  • Another bug occurs when axolotls are attached with leads out of the water, they begin to walk at an exaggerated speed.
• Axolotls are the first mob added in Java Edition 1.17.
• Despite being amphibians, axolotls are bred like mammals instead of laying eggs, like the turtle.
