Published by Mojang Studios, there is no justification needed when one says that Minecraft has shaped many childhoods with its wacky block design and the creative freedom to do anything you wish. Everyone will have the fondest memories of being able to build a mansion out of dirt blocks and wait for the night to pass so that work can be resumed the next morning, only for a creeper to come and blast the walls away. It is a fun experience, if not frustrating, for many kids and adults who have come to love and appreciate what Minecraft offers gamers and society alike. With multiple biomes available, one biome that has earned its spot as being the most realistic of them all is none other than the Desert Biome. Well, when it comes to the desert biome, we often think of camels. And with the recent Minecraft 1.20 update, a new mob, Camel, was added to the game. Being majestic creatures and a very tall ridable mob, Camels serve a variety of functions within the Minecraft world, which is why in this article we’ll take a look at how you can get, tame, and breed Camels in Minecraft.
Minecraft Camels: How to get, tame, and breed
Camels and their spawning locations
Camels usually spawn in Desert Villages (only at world generation), and only one of them spawns per village. You’ll find such a camel located right by the Village Center, the place where villagers gather.
Behavior?
Quite the stubborn creatures they are, the Camels will do absolutely nothing but wander around aimlessly and sometimes sit down to rest. You can approach a Camel resting to ride it, but once you’re seated, you’ll find that you are unable to direct it around. But if you want to control the Camel, use a saddle and mount it. Once you equip the camel with a saddle, you can ride it, and it’s super easy to direct it around. The best part here is that there is no taming involved in this process. Also, Camels can step over fences (1.5 units tall), as they don’t have the ability to jump.
Other things to know about Camels
- Once you have a Camel in your custody, be sure to tie it up with a lead so that it doesn’t escape.
- A Camel has 32 health points, and it can heal itself over time.
- Cactus is the only item a Camel is attracted to, but you’ll find that they won’t move around when intimidated by the item while sitting.
- Holding a Cactus will lure a Camel toward you. This will come in handy during the breeding process.
- A saddled Camel can be ridden by two players.
Breeding Camels
To breed Camels, all you need are Cacti. Feed a Cactus to a Camel nearby (make sure that it’s not resting); it will activate the ‘love’ mode and proceed to feed another camel in the vicinity. Now, they will produce a Camel baby. Well, that’s how you breed Camels.
Damage?
The best part about riding a Camel is that attack mobs that don’t have enough height can’t damage you, like zombies and vindicators. And yes, you can attack them with a sword and fight them off without taking damage from them. Remember that you can still be damaged by ranged mobs like Skeletons or mobs like Creeper, who can blow up and cause damage.
Anyway, that’s all on how to get, tame, and breed Camels in Minecraft. If you find this guide informative, make sure to follow Android Gram for more such updates.
