More Axolotl Variants API

This lightweight API provides mod developers with tools to add their own axolotl variants to Minecraft while ensuring full compatibility between different modifications.

Main Features

The API does not add its own axolotl variants but serves as a foundation for other mods. Among the built-in features are informative tooltips for axolotl buckets that display the age, variant, and origin source of each creature.

Textures for buckets of all standard axolotl variants have also been updated to match the appearance of specific varieties. These textures were created by VRAXX.

Recommended Add-ons

To maximize the potential of the API, we recommend installing:

More Axolotl (Fabric) by DomiIRL

More Axolotl Variants Mod (Fabric & Forge) by AkashiiKun69

New Summoning Capabilities

Axolotls can now be summoned using a string value in the "Variant" NBT tag. This namespace system is similar to what Minecraft uses for other entities.

For example, to summon the standard lucy variant:

/summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {Variant:"minecraft:lucy"}

Or to summon a variant from the More Axolotl mod:

/summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {Variant:"more-axolotl:neon"}
