Axolotls Ignore Passives Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to activate the mod or does it work automatically?
The mod works automatically once installed—axolotls will simply ignore tropical fish without any configuration needed. You can start building your mixed aquarium right away.
Will axolotls still eat other types of fish besides tropical fish?
The mod only prevents axolotls from feeding on tropical fish specifically. Check the mod description or your guides to confirm which other passive mobs remain unaffected.
Can I still breed axolotls normally with this mod?
Yes, axolotls breed the same way as vanilla—you feed them tropical fish to enter love mode. The mod only stops them from hunting fish; breeding mechanics are unchanged.
Does this mod affect axolotl behavior in the wild or only in captivity?
The mod changes axolotl behavior everywhere in your world, so wild axolotls will also ignore tropical fish they encounter in caves and water sources.
What if I want axolotls to eat fish again—can I disable the mod for specific tanks?
The mod applies globally to all axolotls in your world; there's no per-tank toggle. You would need to uninstall the mod entirely to restore vanilla feeding behavior.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No, this is a lightweight mod that simply prevents one mob behavior, so it should have minimal impact on performance even with many axolotls and fish.
Does the mod work with other mods that add new fish or aquatic mobs?
The mod is designed to protect tropical fish specifically; compatibility with modded fish depends on how those mods are coded, so test your setup to be sure.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the mod can be installed on servers and clients, though all players should have it installed for consistent behavior across the world.
What should I do if axolotls are still eating my fish after installing the mod?
Verify the mod is actually loaded in your mods folder and that you've restarted the game; if fish still disappear, check if they're tropical fish or a different species.
Does this mod change how axolotls interact with hostile mobs or players?
No, the mod only affects axolotl feeding behavior toward passive fish—combat and other interactions remain unchanged from vanilla.
