Camel

The camel is a passive mob found in desert villages that can be ridden by two players in the same time using a saddle.

Spawning
A camel spawns on the center of each desert village. If killed, they don’t ever respawn, similar to some other mobs.

Drops
Upon death, camels drop:
 * experience orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
 * a saddle if the camel was already equipped with one.

Upon successful breeding, is dropped.

Killing a baby camel yields neither items nor experience.

Behavior
Camels wander aimlessly, avoiding hazards and obstacles, and they can sit for two to seven seconds, before eventually getting up. They will instantly get up and flee after getting harmed. Despite the fact they are bred with cacti, touching a cactus block still harms camels like any other mob. Camels have the unique ability to step up 1.5 block-high walls, unlike other mounts such as horses, which can only automatically step up one block without jumping. This allows camels to step onto fences and walls, among other things.

Riding
Camels can be ridden by placing a saddle on it. The saddle can be placed on the camel by holding it and then it on the camel or by accessing its inventory. A camel's inventory can be accessed by riding it and opening the player's inventory or by ing and then pressing the "open inventory" button, just like a horse. Camels only have one slot in their inventory, to put the saddle on it.

Up to two players can ride one camel. While riding, the player in the back seat can't hurt the player driving and can't hurt the camel either.

They can be ridden in water up to three blocks deep, although at three blocks deep the Camel is totally submerged and will eventually drown. In deeper water, the player is automatically dismounted.

Camels walk slowly or can sprint. Camels can dash every 2.75 seconds. When dashing, the camel will launch up to 12 blocks forward and one block upward. For a short time after dashing, the camel will not be able to sprint. Dashing is done using the jump control. Camels are tall enough that most melee hostile mobs like zombies, vindicators, hoglins, silverfishes, endermites and golden sword-wielding piglins can't reach players to attack them. Spiders, wolves, foxes, slimes and magma cubes can attack because they jump when they attack.

It is impossible for a player to use a Nether portal while on a camel. It is possible, however, to enter the portal on the camel and then dismount, sending the camel through the portal on its own, or use a lead to position the camel, then push it through the portal.

Breeding
A camel follows the player who holds a cactus but will stop following the player if it is separated from the player by at least six blocks. Sitting camels will not follow the player. Adult camels enter love mode and breed to create baby camels after they are each given a cactus. The parents have a cooldown of five minutes before they can breed again.

Healing
Camels are healed by health points each time they are fed a cactus. Camels also heal on their own over time.

Sounds
Camels use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
