Wolves protect their masters, Horses run at incredible speeds, and the Camels… what do the Camels do in Minecraft? While it’s true that the Camels aren’t as powerful as wolves in combat, and they can’t run at the same speed as Horses, there are some secret powers that Camels have that you may have never known!
Secrets of Camels in Minecraft
Camels are passive mobs found in desert villages in Minecraft. They can be saddled and ridden by up to two players at once. Camels spawn in the center of desert villages during world generation, and they won’t respawn if killed.
These desert dwellers have some secrets that are unknown to the majority of players. So let’s take a look at the absolute OP traits of these majestic creatures:
Nightmare of Raiders
In Minecraft, a raid is an in-game event where waves of various mobs, mainly illagers, spawn and attack a village. During a raid, players will fight against different types of illager mobs, including pillagers, vindicators, evokers, and ravagers.
Raids may seem unfair to many players, but the table can be turned when the camels come into the mix. A player mounted on a Camel can’t be damaged by the Raiders. The reason for this is that the Camels are too tall for any mob to reach the players.
Getting a high ground while being mounted on a Camel, players can easily pick out illagers during a Raid. But players need to keep in mind that while they may be immune to damage while on Camelback, the Camels aren’t. With damage, they will despawn, leaving the player stranded.
Walk underwater
Camels can indeed walk underwater. So if you plan to haul a lot of cargo over some water body, Camels are one of the best options. However, even if they can walk underwater, they aren’t fish.
If a camel’s head goes below the water’s surface, it will start choking and taking damage. If not taken out quickly enough, the Camel will die and despawn.
Grow in an instant
Nothing can beat a Camel when it comes to a growth spurt. While the babies of other mobs such as Horses take a set time to grow into full size, Camels can grow in an instant.
If fed enough food, little Calves will grow into adults in the blink of an eye!
That’s it for now; we hope these secrets about the Camels will make your experience in Minecraft more fun! We would like to thank Youtube content creator BriannaPlayz, for inspiring this article.
