Information for everyone
Summoning Command
Summoning axolotl can be now done with a string value as the "Variant" nbt.
This is similar to the namespace system minecraft uses almost anywhere else but doesn't for some entity variants included the axolotl's.
For example this would be how to summon the vanilla lucy variant:
/summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {Variant:"minecraft:lucy"}
Or to summon a variant from More Axolotl:
/summon minecraft:axolotl ~ ~ ~ {Variant:"more-axolotl:neon"}
