What You Need to Breed Camels
To breed camels in Minecraft, you’ll need two adult camels and cactus as their breeding item. Camels are found naturally in desert villages, so you’ll want to locate a desert biome first. Once you find camels, you can lead them back to your base using a lead or by riding them.
The Breeding Process
Breeding camels follows the same mechanics as other Minecraft animals. Hold cactus in your hand and right-click on each camel to feed them. You’ll see heart particles appear above their heads when they enter love mode. The two camels will then approach each other and produce a baby camel.
Important Breeding Details
- Breeding cooldown: After breeding, adult camels have a 5-minute cooldown before they can breed again
- Baby growth time: Baby camels take 20 minutes to grow into adults naturally
- Growth acceleration: You can speed up growth by feeding the baby camel cactus – each cactus reduces growth time by 10%
- Following behavior: Baby camels will follow their parents around until they reach adulthood
Camel Care and Management
Adult camels have 32 health points and can be healed by feeding them cactus. They’re particularly useful as mounts since they can carry two players and are tall enough to avoid most hostile mobs. Camels also have a unique dash ability that lets them jump forward quickly.
Keep your breeding camels in a fenced area with easy access to cactus farms. Since cactus grows relatively slowly, consider setting up multiple cactus farms to ensure you have enough breeding material. If you’re planning to build a camel farm in your Minecraft world, you’ll find plenty of creative building ideas and tutorials in our gaming collection.
TL;DR
Breed camels in Minecraft by feeding cactus to two adult camels, which creates a baby camel after a 5-minute cooldown. Baby camels take 20 minutes to mature and can be fed cactus to speed up growth.
