Minecraft’s 2025 end‑of‑year stats prove the game is still a global phenomenon with numbers most franchises can only dream of

Minecraft has continued to thrive for 15 years, with Mojang Studios sharing a retrospective of 2025 that includes impressive community statistics. Players logging into the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition dressing room can receive a free Inflatable Chicken Suit Character Creator item. The introduction of the copper golem mob resulted in nearly a billion of these creatures spawning, while over 270 million mounts were tamed, with players collectively traversing 335 billion blocks. However, saddles were crafted only 16 million times. Mojang hosted two Minecraft Live events in 2025, the first in March, which revealed the year's first three updates and announced a forthcoming Minecraft movie set for a sequel in 2027. The Spring to Life update enhanced Overworld diversity and quality-of-life improvements, followed by the Vibrant Visuals update for graphics upgrades and the Chase the Skies update for new ghostly mounts. The September event introduced The Copper Age update, and the year ended with the Mounts of Mayhem update, which added new mobs and a new weapon. Mojang also announced a collaboration with King to develop Minecraft Blast, a new mobile game. Changes for 2026 include the removal of code obfuscation for modders and a shift in version numbering.

Minecraft: Mounts of Mayhem- How To Ride Camel Husks

The Camel Husk is a new double-seater mount introduced in Minecraft's latest update, found exclusively in the Desert biome at night or during thunderstorms. It spawns when ridden by a Husk and a Parched, collectively known as the Camel Husk Jockey. Taming the Camel Husk requires a saddle, but players must first defeat the Husk and Parched. Players can lead or heal the Camel Husk using a Rabbit’s Foot, which can be obtained from defeating Rabbits or the Husk itself. Riding the Camel Husk allows for two players and features a dash charge mechanic. The Parched also spawns in the Desert biome at night, typically in groups of four, and wields a bow or may appear in armor. Both the Camel Husk and Parched do not burn in sunlight, which affects gameplay strategies.

How to Tame Camel Husks in Minecraft

The Camel Husk is an undead variant of the traditional camel in Minecraft, set to debut with the Mounts of Mayhem update. It spawns exclusively in desert biomes at night when the light level is zero, with a 10% chance of appearing with two riders: a Husk and a Parched. Camel Husks require open spaces for spawning and cannot be found in caves. To tame a Camel Husk, players must first defeat its riders and then feed it a rabbit's foot, which will result in red hearts appearing above its head. Players can ride the Camel Husk after taming it by equipping a saddle, which allows for navigation and speed bursts. Camel Husks are immune to sunlight and have a robust health bar. Breeding between Camel Husks is not possible.
