Camel Spawn Egg

Description

Camel Spawn Egg is a Creative-mode and command-only item that spawns a fully grown camel when used on the ground in Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition. Camel Spawn Egg cannot be crafted, traded, or found in survival loot — players obtain Camel Spawn Egg from the Creative inventory under the Spawn Eggs / Miscellaneous tab or with the command /give @s minecraft:camel_spawn_egg. The egg uses a sandy body color with orange spots that mirrors the camel's desert coat, and it was added in the Trails & Tales update (1.20).

Use Camel Spawn Egg to place camels anywhere instead of searching desert villages, where camels otherwise spawn one per village during world generation. Right-clicking an existing camel with Camel Spawn Egg spawns a baby camel, letting builders grow a desert ranch quickly. A camel placed this way carries two players, dashes on command, and stands tall enough to step over fences and dodge most melee attacks from ground mobs — making Camel Spawn Egg the fastest way to set up mounts for multiplayer desert travel.

Java & Bedrock Guide

How to use a Camel Spawn Egg in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Get the spawn egg

    Switch to Creative mode and find Camel Spawn Egg in the Spawn Eggs or Miscellaneous tab, or run /give @s minecraft:camel_spawn_egg to add it to your inventory.

  2. 2

    Spawn an adult camel

    Hold Camel Spawn Egg and right-click (use) on a solid block to spawn a fully grown camel at that spot.

  3. 3

    Breed a baby camel

    Right-click an existing camel with Camel Spawn Egg to spawn a baby camel beside it, an easy way to build a herd.

  4. 4

    Saddle and ride

    Put a saddle on the spawned camel, then mount it — one camel seats two players and can dash across desert terrain.

Version note

Camel Spawn Egg and the camel mob were added in the Trails & Tales update (Java and Bedrock 1.20). The spawn egg exists only in Creative and through commands; it is never craftable in Survival.
