How to get a Bucket of Axolotl in Survival Mode
You can add a bucket of axolotl to your inventory in Survival mode by catching an axolotl in a water bucket. So let’s get started!
1. Find an Axolotl
First, you need to find an axolotl in your Minecraft world.
Axolotls are usually found in the Lush Caves biome.
2. Hold a Water Bucket
Next, select a water bucket in your hotbar so that you are holding it in your hand.
3. Use the Water Bucket on the Axolotl
While in front of the axolotl, use the water bucket on the axolotl. The game control to catch the axolotl in the water bucket depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the axolotl.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the axolotl.
- For Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.

It may take several attempts to catch the axolotl in the water bucket. When you successfully catch the axolotl, you will see the message “Bucket of Axolotl” appear on the screen and your bucket will look like it has an axolotl inside. This axolotl is still alive and can be released from the bucket whenever you want. This is a great way to move axolotl around in the game.
By catching the axolotl in the bucket, you will also have made the advancement called “The Cutest Predator”.
