- /summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {Age:-1200} (Grows up in 60 seconds)
- /summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {Age:-6000} (Grows up in 5 minutes)
NOTE: Immediately after the blue axolotl spawns, it will move towards the nearest water body since it can’t survive more than 5 minutes (6,000 game ticks) out of water. Ideally, you should spawn it near water.
How axolotls spawn naturally
Originally, Axolotls will spawn in any underground water source provided it’s completely dark (light level 0) and below sea level (y63). Also, there must be a solid block above and a stone-type block within five blocks.
With the new game updates, you’ll only find Axolotls in lush caves beneath azalea trees.
Can you tame axolotl in Minecraft?
Once you locate the Axolotls, you need to find a way to move them or get them to follow you. Unfortunately, you can’t tame Axolotl in Minecraft. But, you can lure them with a bucket of Tropical fish, attach them to leads, or pick them up in a bucket of water.
While inside a bucket of water, the axolotls don’t despawn. So, this is a good way to turn them into pets. The summon command for an Axolotl that will not despawn in Minecraft java is: /summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {FromBucket:1}

How to breed Axolotls
To breed axolotls, you need to bring two adults together. The best way to do that is to lure them with tropical fish. Next, feed each of them with a bucket of tropical fish and watch as they enter Love Mode, breed, and produce a baby axolotl.
The baby usually inherits either of the parent’s color patterns. So it’s a 50/50 chance. However, for the rare blue axolotl, it’s a 1 in 1,200 chance,
After breeding, you’ll have to wait 5 in-game minutes (Java edition) and 1 in-game minute (Bedrock edition) to breed the adult Axolotls again. On the other hand, the baby Axolotl follows its parents around until it becomes an adult (after 20 in-game minutes). But, you can speed its growth by feeding it lots of tropical fish.
Are Minecraft axolotls hostile?
Apart from the player, dolphins, and turtles, axolotls will fight every other mob in the game. So, it helps to have them on your side. There’s no quitting in them.
They usually play dead to regenerate(for 10 seconds or 200 game ticks), then get up and continue fighting. Hostile mobs usually ignore healing axolotls.
