Minecraft – What Do Camels Eat?

In this guide, you will learn what camels eat while playing Minecraft.

Players can interact with Camels thanks to the Trails and Tales update added to the game. From what little interactions players had with these desert animals, they are arguably one of the most reliable companions and the best ride you will get across desert biomes.

What do Camels Eat in Minecraft?

Camels’ only food source in Minecraft is Cactus. They more or less reflect the diet of their real-life counterparts. Similar to other animals in the game, feeding the right food to Camels can help you gain their trust and tame them.

To feed them, you will have to equip and hold the Cactus, and after approaching one of them simply right-click on them. Once done, the camel will then follow you around and you can hop in for a ride. For better control, you will have to put a saddle on them.

As camels are strong-jawed animals, eating cactus in the game won’t hurt them. Instead, feeding them with the right amount can heal their hearts recovering their health. You can collect them from the desert or even grow them yourself.


Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios and released in 2011 for PC, Mac, and Linux.
