Animals in the Game
For as long as humanity has existed, horses have been at the forefront of transportation, carrying people and goods across vast distances. However, horses are not the only ones capable of fulfilling this role. The often-underestimated camel, domesticated centuries ago, has proven equally adept at enduring long journeys. With the latest Minecraft update, this resilient desert dweller now takes its place alongside horses as a means of transportation.
TIP
Meet the Camel in Minecraft
Camels inhabit the arid landscapes of desert villages. They are tall, with distinct orange-brown fur, attentive ears, and a relaxed expression. Their elongated legs and characteristic hump give them a unique silhouette, towering over horses in height.
Their behavior is as calm as their appearance. They roam aimlessly, avoiding danger and occasionally sitting down for short rests. When a camel takes damage, it immediately stands and tries to flee. Notably, a sitting camel cannot be moved by players or mobs. Feeding a camel a piece of cactus restores two health points, although they naturally heal over time.
Speed and Agility
While camels are not the fastest creatures in Minecraft, they move at a decent speed—faster than players but slower than horses. Their movement resembles that of a player rather than a horse, allowing them to walk or sprint while ridden. Additionally, camels have a unique ability to step over obstacles 1.5 blocks high, such as fences or walls—slightly better than horses.
TIP
Breeding Camels
Interestingly, camels can be bred using cacti, though they take damage from cactus blocks, like other mobs. When a player holds a cactus, camels will follow them as long as they remain within 10 blocks. To breed camels, feed two adult camels one cactus each, and they will enter love mode. After breeding, they must rest for five minutes before they can breed again. Baby camels grow up faster when fed cacti, and yes, baby camels are absolutely adorable!
Unlike horses, taming camels is a remarkably simple process. There’s no need to repeatedly mount and be thrown off, as with horses. Simply place a saddle on their back, and they’re ready to ride—camels come pre-tamed!
Dash Instead of Jump
One of the unique traits of camels is their inability to jump. Instead, they can perform a dash. Pressing the jump button makes the camel lunge forward, covering 12 blocks horizontally and ascending one block in height. This dash can be used every 2.75 seconds, but it prevents the camel from sprinting immediately after. The dash mechanic is similar to horse jumps, involving a charge bar that fills when the jump button is held.
Enhanced Protection
Due to their great height, players riding camels sit so high that most hostile mobs cannot reach them. Enemies may surround your camel, futilely trying to attack you, but they cannot cause direct harm. However, beware of skeleton archers—they can still hit you from a distance, even if zombies cannot.
Double the Fun
One of the most exciting features of camels is their ability to carry two players simultaneously! Like boats, camels can accommodate two individuals. The first rider controls the camel’s movement, while the second passenger can simply enjoy the ride. This is a fantastic feature, perfect for exploring the Minecraft world with a friend.
Conclusion
Those are the key details about camels in Minecraft’s latest update! These desert companions offer a fun and functional alternative to horses, adding a new dimension to long-distance travel. Whether you’re dashing across plains or sitting high above enemies, camels are a much-welcome addition to the Minecraft ecosystem. Enjoy your journeys!
