Identifying Axolotl Color Variants from Your Inventory

Scooping Up Axolotls

Capturing an axolotl with a water bucket automatically assigns a custom sprite representing the exact creature you picked up. You do not need to place the mob back into the water to verify its identity.

Reading Bucket Sprites

Examine the captured axolotl bucket inside your inventory or hotbar to see its visual details:

• Pink Variant: Displays the standard pink body and red gills directly on the cubic bucket item.
• Cyan Variant: Shows a pale blue body with pinkish frills.
• Gold Variant: Features a distinct bright yellow sprite inside the square frame.
• Blue Variant: Renders the rare deep blue coloration and orange frills directly on the icon.

When breeding or sorting axolotls, align the buckets side by side in a chest. The unique sprites allow you to pick out rare variants or organize breeding pairs without needing name tags or test pools.
