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.

Drops
Upon death, camels drop:
 * 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 get up and flee after getting harmed. Camels have the unique ability to step up 1.5 block-high walls without jumping. Compare this to a horse, which can only automatically "jump" up 1 block without using the jump function. 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 2 blocks deep. In deeper water, the player is automatically dismounted.

Camels walk slowly or can sprint. Camels can do an air dash each 2.75-second, it will launch up to 12 blocks forward and 1 upward. Camels are tall enough that some short hostile mobs like zombies, vindicators, hoglins, silverfishes, endermites, melee piglins etc. Can't reach players to attack them. Spiders and slimes can attack thanks to their jump 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.
