Properties

• Lives - 32 (16 hearts)

• Jump type - Instead of high jump, a fast sprint (dash), with recharge time

• Height - Players on camels are too high to be hit by zombies or other melee mobs

Taming & Riding

• Camels are tamable from the start - no extra taming process necessary

• Simple right click with empty hand to mount

• Can only be controlled with one saddle (one saddle for two riders)

• Dash function can be charged with space bar - ideal for crossing obstacles or ravines

Breeding

• Food - Cacti

• Two camels fed with a cactus produce a camel foal

• Young animals grow faster with more cacti

Advantages & benefits

• Carries two players at the same time - ideal for multiplayer adventures

• Immune to small melee mobs thanks to their size

• Dash jump allows you to quickly jump over fences and chasms

• Good overview when riding due to elevated position

Tips

• Use camels for long journeys through deserts or flat biomes

• Lead them with a leash or guide them by having one player ride them and another follow

• Build a stable gate 2 blocks high as camels are taller than horses

Trivia

• Camels occasionally sit down - they have to stand to be ridden

• They cannot be ridden or moved when sitting down

• They are the first mount in Minecraft that can transport two players by default
