A new twelvemonth means new content, and Minecraft is celebrating 2022 with a fresh claiming map. Axolotl Islands is the latest marketplace creation to get the spotlight from developer Mojang.

As detailed in the declaration, Axolotl Islands is the creation of Tetrascape, and it sends yous to the titular islands to save the salamanders from encroaching super-slimes. To do this, you'll have to explore the new map, utilise your antitoxin gun to cure all the slimes you detect, and solve whatsoever puzzles you come up across. You tin can run across all of that in action in the trailer beneath.

Saving the axolotls is something Tetrascape cares about outside of Minecraft too. "In that location are only around i,000 left in the wild and every fiddling affair counts," the creative group said. "Let's do what we tin can to assistance and let this map be a motivator!" Axolotl Islands: Slime Machine is a free download for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, if you desire to exercise your (virtual) part.

The next Minecraft Championship Consequence is on the horizon for 2022, but we don't know when it'll take place just yet since organizer NoxCrew is on a holiday break. There'south enough of other content to get into in the meantime. If you're interested in more than animals across the piffling axolotl, we can teach you how to breed pandas.
