Camels have the potential to be the tallest, most overpowered mob in the game, but players only care about one thing: can you tame and breed camels in Minecraft?
In Minecraft, mobs are peculiar beings made up of little cubes that react and interact with you when you get close to them. Now that 1.2 is right around the corner, it is an excellent time to shift our attention to its newest additions. While we have already told you about many of the changes that will be released in Minecraft thanks to patch 1.20, perhaps the main protagonist of this update is your big-lipped and hump-backed friend: the camel.
The camel will spawn in a desert village at the village center. With all the villagers gathering here, camels will spend their time wandering around reasonably slowly. They’re a bit lazy unless you’re on their backs. To ride them. Wait, can we do that?
How to Tame Camels in Minecraft
Minecraft 1.20 makes your dessert villager roleplaying fantasy come true. Not only can you tame camels in Minecraft, but you can also take a friend on a ride. To ride camels in Minecraft, you need to approach it, click on it with a saddle, and then you can ride it.
Now, camels are a bit trickier to ride than horses. You can only ride them when they are sitting down. Still, once you are riding a camel, it works like a horse to a pig with a saddle or anything else you can ride in Minecraft.

How to Breed Camels in Minecraft
You’ll have to tie camels in with a leash if you don’t want them to escape. They have 16 hearts or 32 health points. If you walk right into it, they get damaged by cacti, but they will follow you if you’re holding one.
In fact, Cacti attract them so much that it’s their copulating item. If you want to breed camels in Minecraft, give two of them a bit of cactus, and eventually, they will create a baby camel. The baby camel will eventually grow, and you can use that like any other Minecraft animal.
Minecraft is available on PC, Android, iOS, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation platforms.
