How to tame Camel in Minecraft

A Camel doesn't need to be tamed — just put a saddle on it and you can ride it. Moreover, the Camel is the only one that carries two players at once. You steer it with a steering wheel, it can do a dash-jump, and Camels are bred with cactus.

Camel

What to feed

  • Cactus (breeding, healing, faster growth)

Step by step

  1. Find a Camel in desert villages (it doesn't spawn anywhere else in the wild).
  2. Put a saddle on it — no taming required.
  3. Ride it; a second player can sit behind. Steer with the steering wheel, space — dash-jump forward.
  4. Breed Camels with cactus — it also heals them and speeds up the growth of a baby Camel.

A sitting Camel stands up when you mount it. It is tall: most hostile mobs can't reach the rider, and the Camel itself is immune to cactus damage.

FAQ

Do you need to tame a Camel?

No. A Camel can be saddled immediately, without taming — put on a saddle and ride. Control is with a steering wheel, like a saddled pig, but full-fledged.

How many players fit on a Camel?

Two: a driver in front and a passenger behind. This is the only vanilla mob that carries two riders at once.
