Frequently asked questions

How do I summon a custom axolotl variant with a command?

Use /summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {Variant:"yourmodid:yourvariantname"}, replacing the identifier with the variant you registered. The variant field now takes a namespaced string instead of a number.

Why does my old axolotl summon command with a number no longer work?

This mod changes the Variant field from an integer to a resource location string, so numeric values are no longer valid. Use the identifier form like "minecraft:lucy" instead.

How do I register a new axolotl variant in my own mod?

Call ModdedAxolotlVariant.register(new ResourceLocation("yourmodid", "yourvariantname")).natural().build() for a normal variant, or drop the .natural() call to make it breeding-only. Run this during your mod's initialization.

What's the difference between a natural variant and a breeding-only variant?

Natural variants can spawn in the world on their own, while breeding-only variants only appear when bred from other axolotls. Add .natural() to the builder chain to make a variant spawn naturally.
