what do camels eat in minecraft

Camels in Minecraft only eat cactus.

Quick Scoop: What Do Camels Eat in Minecraft?

  • Camels’ only food in Minecraft is cactus.
  • You feed them by right-clicking (or using the interact button) on a camel while holding a cactus block.
  • They do not graze or eat on their own like sheep; you must manually feed them.

Why cactus matters

Feeding camels cactus lets you:

  1. Heal them – each cactus restores about one heart (2 health points).
  1. Speed up baby camel growth when you feed a baby.
  1. Breed camels by feeding cactus to two adults to trigger love mode and get a baby camel.
  1. Lead them around, because camels will follow a player holding cactus, making desert caravans easier.

In typical desert fashion, if you want a happy Minecraft camel, keep a stack of cactus in your hotbar. TL;DR: In Minecraft, camels eat only cactus, which heals them, helps them breed, speeds up babies growing up, and makes them follow you.
