No More Axolotl Despawns!
by InventoXtar
No More Axolotl Despawns! keeps axolotls from disappearing from a world, so a tamed or favorite axolotl can remain in place over time.
What it does
Axolotls normally despawn after a while, which is the behavior this mod turns off. Once it is active, axolotls stay in the world and remain permanent companions. They follow players over land and through water and can help in underwater fights, including against Guardians and Drowned.
The mod ships as a data pack and as a plugin, so it can be used on single-player worlds, on multiplayer servers, and on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur servers. The data pack version needs no mods or extra resource packs. The mod version runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Only the server has to run the mod; players may add it or leave it out.
Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.8 across 16 release versions, and the latest file is 5.0-mod for 1.21.8, published 2025-08-18. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
