Summary

A curiousMinecraftplayer decided to see what would happen if a huge number of axolotl were gathered simultaneously on the screen. Axolotls are curious little aquatic mobs that were first added to the sandbox game inMinecraft’s Caves & Cliffs Part 1 update, and can be found underwater in the lush caves biome. In real life, axolotls are a critically endangered species that can be found in Mexico and were introduced into the game by Mojang Studios in order to promote awareness.

Minecraftaxolotl can come in many different colors such as pink, brown, gold, and blue, and apart from their adorable appearance, they can also serve a practical purpose in-game as they can offer a regeneration effect to the player, or even cure theirMining Fatigue. The curious little creature has another fascinating effect, as it can play dead if it takes damage while being underwater. Considering all that, it’s easy to see why aMinecraftplayer might be fascinated with axolotls and want to keep them as their personal lovable pets.

A Reddit user called KannonMC did the most unimaginable thing as they managed to bring no less than 3,000Minecraftaxolotlstogether. The small salamander-like creatures are being kept together in custom pools that were built from what looks to be stone or andesite blocks. It is unclear if the player bred all of the axolotls or if they were captured and transported with the help of a water bucket, leashed using a lead, or even spawned with the help of cheats. However, the resulting image is surely a sight to behold.

Currently sitting at more than 2,800 upvotes on theMinecraftsubreddit, the post managed to draw lots of observations from the gaming community. The influx of axolotls in such high numbers naturally prompted concerns among Redditors, primarily regarding the game’s frame rate, as the sheer volume of entities on the screen would undoubtedly have a noticeable impact on the game’s performance. KannonMC claimed that their PC was indeed very laggy, and jokingly mentioned that their computer sometimes makes engine sounds.
