Camel Guide

Two riders, a 12 block dash and too tall for zombies to reach.

A saddle surrounded by cactus, a camel spawn egg, a lead and sandstone on sand
Quick answer
  • Camels live in deserts and desert villages.
  • Put a Saddle on one and 2 players can ride it.
  • Breed them with Cactus.

Camels are slower than the best horses, but they carry two players and their height keeps most mobs from reaching you.

Riding

Camels don't need taming. Put a saddle on an adult camel and get on. A second player can climb on behind you.

The dash

Hold jump and release to dash up to 12 blocks forward. It recharges in about 3 seconds. Use it to clear gaps and rivers.

Fence proofCamels step up 1.5 blocks, so they can walk over fences and walls.

Safe from most mobs

You sit so high that zombies and most other melee mobs can't reach you. Spiders, wolves and slimes still can.

Breeding and healing

Feed cactus to two camels to breed them. Each cactus also heals 1 heart.
