In the latest update of Minecraft, players are introduced to the intriguing Camel Husk, a unique double-seater mount that adds a new dimension to desert exploration. This undead variant of the Camel comes with its own set of challenges, as it is accompanied by a formidable new enemy known as the Parched. Together, they form a fearsome duo that players must contend with while seeking out this towering mount.
Where do I find the Camel Husk?
The Camel Husk can only be found in the Desert biome, and it spawns exclusively at night or during thunderstorms. However, players should be prepared for a challenge, as this mount appears only when ridden by the Husk and Parched. Collectively known as the Camel Husk Jockey, they wield a new weapon, the Spear, making the quest to tame this mount a potentially perilous endeavor.
Do I need to tame a Camel Husk?
Fortunately, taming the Camel Husk is a straightforward process. Much like its living counterpart, all that is required is a saddle to get it ready for a ride. The main hurdle lies in defeating the Husk and Parched to gain access to this unique mount.
If you’re curious about leading or healing your Camel Husk, you will need a Rabbit’s Foot. These can be obtained by defeating a Rabbit, which has a 10% chance of dropping one. Alternatively, if you manage to defeat the Husk while riding the Camel Husk, there is a 50% chance it may drop a Rabbit’s Foot.
Riding a Camel Husk
Once you’ve saddled your new steed, riding the Camel Husk is akin to riding its living version. This mount can accommodate two players, making it perfect for cooperative adventures.
While riding, players will notice a dash charge bar replacing the experience bar at the bottom of the screen. To utilize the dash feature, simply press the jump control or hold it down for a longer dash.
Where do Parched spawn?
The Parched, like the Camel Husk, spawns exclusively in the Desert biome during the night. This mob typically wields a bow and may occasionally appear in armor. Players should be cautious, as Parched tend to spawn in groups of four, and they have a 10% chance of appearing on the back of a Camel Husk, forming the dreaded Camel Husk Jockey.
Equipped with an Iron Spear, the Husk poses a significant threat, as its range exceeds that of many other weapons, complicating encounters with camel husk riders.
Differences
Both the Camel Husk and the Parched introduce a new mechanic that distinguishes them from other undead mobs: they do not burn in sunlight. This characteristic benefits the Camel Husk, as it lacks an armor slot to protect it from sunlight damage. However, this feature presents a challenge for players facing the Parched, as they cannot wait until morning to engage this foe.
With the addition of the Camel Husk and Parched, Minecraft continues to evolve, offering players new adventures and challenges in the vast desert landscape. Best of luck to all players seeking to conquer this latest update!
