A bucket of axolotl, internally known as an axolotl bucket, is an axolotl inside of a water bucket.

Obtaining

A bucket of axolotl can be obtained by using a water bucket on an axolotl. Once a water bucket is used, the axolotl is picked up into the bucket.

Usage

Pressing use with a bucket of axolotl places a water source block, and spawns the axolotl back into the world, leaving an empty bucket in the player's inventory. Placing a bucket of axolotl in the Nether causes the same particles to appear that generate when a normal water bucket is placed in the Nether, and the axolotl is spawned alone.

Axolotls caught in buckets then released do not despawn, unlike mobs that spawn naturally in their aquatic environments.

If a bucket of axolotl is inside a dispenser, the dispenser spawns the axolotl and water block in front of it upon activation, leaving an empty bucket inside. Dispensers cannot pick up axolotls with water buckets (the bucket is emptied).

If a bucket of axolotl is named a certain name through an anvil, the axolotl inside displays that name as if it were named with a name tag.‌ Alternatively, if a named axolotl is captured with a bucket of water, the resulting bucket of axolotl shares a name with the captured axolotl.‌ If a named axolotl is captured in Bedrock Edition, the item is called "Bucket of <Name>".

Axolotl variants

In Bedrock Edition, if an axolotl is picked up with a bucket, the bucket appears in the player's inventory as "Bucket of <Baby/Adult> <Color> Axolotl" based on the age and color of the axolotl. These varieties are:

• Bucket of Baby Leucistic Axolotl
• Bucket of Adult Leucistic Axolotl
• Bucket of Baby Brown Axolotl
• Bucket of Adult Brown Axolotl
• Bucket of Baby Gold Axolotl
• Bucket of Adult Gold Axolotl
• Bucket of Baby Cyan Axolotl
• Bucket of Adult Cyan Axolotl
• Bucket of Baby Blue Axolotl
• Bucket of Adult Blue Axolotl

When the player spawns in an axolotl with a bucket of axolotl from the Creative inventory, it is always a leucistic adult. Buckets containing other variants always spawn that variant when used in creative mode.

The bucket of axolotl does not change textures in the inventory to reflect the captured axolotl's color, it always appears leucistic.
