How to Find a Camel in Minecraft 1.20

Camels spawn naturally in the desert oasis biome, which is a rare variant of the desert biome that features palm trees, water sources, and lush vegetation. You can find the desert oasis biome by using a locator map or by exploring the desert regions.

To tame a camel, you will need some wheat , which can be obtained by harvesting wheat crops or by trading with villagers. You will also need an empty hand to interact with the camel.

To tame a camel, follow these steps:

• Approach the camel slowly and avoid making sudden movements or noises. Camels are shy and will run away if they feel threatened or startled.
• Hold some wheat in your hand and right-click on the camel. The camel will eat the wheat and show some hearts above its head. This means that the camel likes you and trusts you more.
• Repeat this process until the camel stops eating the wheat and shows more hearts. This means that the camel is tamed and will follow you around.
