How to Tame and Equip Camels for Desert Travel

Locating and Taming Camels

Venture into the Desert biome to find wild camels roaming the sand dunes. Unlike regular vanilla mounts, camels provide specialized functionality designed for long-distance desert exploration. Approach a wild camel and interact with it to tame it. Once successfully tamed, the camel can be mounted and directed across harsh terrain.

Using Camels for Two-Player Riding and Storage

Camels are equipped to handle group travel and resource collection across vast deserts:

1. Mount the tamed camel to take the lead driving position.

2. Have a second player interact with the camel to ride along in the passenger seat behind you.

3. Hold a chest and interact with your tamed camel to equip it directly onto the animal.

Equipping a chest gives the camel storage slots, making it a pack animal for desert expeditions. This allows you to safely store valuables gathered from desert ruins—such as loot retrieved from decorative pots—as well as gathered Prickly Pear plants found growing on cacti, without exhausting your personal inventory.
