Melanoid Axolotls
Replaces the rare blue axolotl with melanoid ones (because blue ones don't exist IRL unless they're cruelly dyed!)

Replaces the fictional rare blue axolotl with the real life melanistic coloration!
Why?
- I have owned two melanoid axolotls and I want to represent them in the game :3
- The existence of the blue axolotl in Minecraft has unfortunately lead to an increase of dyed blue axolotls in the real life pet trade, the act of which is a harmful to these axolotls. I know Mojang likely didn't intend this and just wanted a fun easter egg, but it's a side effect that disheartens me.
