What Is the Rarest Axolotl in Minecraft

The axolotl is a cute creature that can be mostly found under the cave, especially, in the lush caves biome. Being added to the game in the Minecraft 1.17 update, the axolotl has some great and unique features. And did you know the appearance of the axolotl showing its rarity?

In this article, let’s see what is the rarest axolotl in Minecraft!

What Is the Rarest Axolotl in Minecraft

Axolotls can spawn naturally in the lush caves biome and can also be bred to create a new baby axolotl, which comes with a random appearance. With that being said, using these two methods over and over again, you can get the rarest axolotl in no time!

Axolotls officially have 5 colors: leucistic, brown, gold, cyan, and blue. There is also a green version but it can’t make it to the actual game.

When an axolotl is spawned in the world naturally or by breeding, there is a 24.97% for it to have one of the following colors: leucistic, brown, gold, and cyan. Therefore, the chance for the axolotl to have blue skin is only 0.083% (or 1/1200). This means that blue axolotl is the rarest axolotl in Minecraft!

For now, it heavily depends on luck to get a blue axolotl. But it’s recommended to breed them in bulk to increase the chance rather than finding them manually in the lush caves. Also, many Minecrafters can’t compare the difference between the cyan and blue axolotl, especially in the dark caves. So remember to bring some light sources with you!
