𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰)As part of the Minecraft 1.20 update, camels bring charm to the deserts. You can find them wandering around desert villages. They shine in the sandy plains of deserts, helping players avoid husks, jump over lava pools, and travel easily in the harsh terrain. Naturally, their food also lives in the desert.

Similar to real-world camels, Minecraft camels eat cacti. This plant is perfect for covering water, nutrients, and sugar needs. Hold a cactus block in your hand and use it on a camel to feed it. Unlike sheep, camels don't eat on their own.

To collect camel food, you can find cacti in these locations:
- Deserts
- Badlands
- Igloos: One cactus in a flower pot
- Wandering Traders
Once you find a naturally generated cactus, use your bare hands or any tool to break it. Breaking the cactus with your hands doesn't deal any damage. Just be careful not to bump into the block.

Feeding camels in Minecraft greatly affects them:
- Healing: Heal a camel by 2 points with one cactus.
- Breeding: Breed two camels and spawn baby camels.
- Growth: Cactus helps baby camels grow faster.
With these benefits, camels will follow you when you hold a cactus, making it a great replacement for a lead when moving a caravan of camels.

Unlike horses, you don't need to tame a camel to ride it. Even without knowing what camels eat, they can still be your friends. Get a saddle, put it on the camel's back, and start riding. You can control its movement, and the best part is that two people can ride the same camel simultaneously, perfect for long journeys across Minecraft survival servers.
