How to get a Blue Axolotl
The colour has no effect on the creature itself. All Axolotl are functionally and behaviourally identical; even the ultra-rare blue variant has nothing which sets it apart from the other types besides its hue.
Of course, there are probably already dozens oftexture packswhich will change Axolotl colours to whatever the author likes.

Axolotl behaviour explained
Axolotls can be attached to leads, and they can also be picked up in a Bucket of Water. An Axolotl that is picked up in this way, and then released later on, will never de-spawn, so that’s a great way to fill up a moat around yourcastleortowers.
Where do Axolotls spawn?
Axolotls spawn mostly in underwater caves in any biome, so they’re not so rare that you’ll need to hunt for a specificMinecraft seedin order to see one. The exact rules for their spawning are as follows:
This may seem like a fair few criteria, but Axolotls aren’t an uncommon sight in Minecraft 1.17, particularly if you’re in a very coastal location. Of course, if you really want to see one, you can always spawn one in Creative Mode using an Axolotl Egg. Just don’t expect to find any blue Axolotls using this method, because as I mentioned above, blue variants are only spawned through breeding since the 1.17.1 update.
