smeezle's Improved Axolotls
This resource pack is perfectly suitable for Minecraft versions 1.17 and above - all game editions where axolotls are available.
ATTENTION: OptiFine is required for the pack to work correctly.
The author's redesign gives axolotls more volume and detail while preserving the vanilla style spirit. The pack introduces 4 new textures, bringing the total number of color variants to nine. All shades are based on real axolotl morphs.
In the wild, the following colorations can appear with equal probability:
- Black melanoid
- Lavender
- Leucistic
- Albino
- Brown "wild type"
- Green "wild type"
- Golden
- Copper
The rare GFP form (with green fluorescent protein) replaces the standard blue axolotl from vanilla Minecraft in this pack and, similar to the original, only appears during breeding with minimal chance. Typically, offspring inherit the color of one parent or get one of the derivative morphs:
Black melanoid → Lavender Leucistic → Albino Brown "wild type" → Green "wild type" Golden → Copper
For example, if you cross a black melanoid with an albino, their offspring can be black melanoid, albino, lavender, or leucistic axolotl.
GFP axolotls can be born from any pair and don't have color variants - breeding GFP with brown "wild type" can produce GFP, brown, or green "wild type".
