In a few months, in 2023, probably during the summer, Minecraft will welcome a major update, implementing new mobs, new crafts and a plethora of possibilities. Among them, we can retain camels (or dromedaries, it seems that they only have one hump) and creations from bamboo, which is now a usable material. Without delay, Mojang has already introduced them via a snapshot.
In effect, the developers have released snapshot 22w42a as part of the arrival of update 1.19.3 (and which is not yet for 1.20). This goes in the direction of the studio wanting to increase minor updates, while taking the lead and testing several new features that will be added in the longer term. ” This allows us to have experimental features available for testing, while being able to release updates with new features, changes, and improvements, without having to remove those features from the game first. clarifies Mojang.
Snapshot 22w42a adds camels/dromedaries
It is therefore in this sense that camels are already available in Minecraft, via snapshot 22w42a. In fact, you will be able to come across camels in the desert villages and discover them for the first time. Of course, the information you will find below is subject to change between now and its arrival, depending on player feedback, in particular. So, here’s how camels work in Minecraft, as it stands.
- Camels only spawn in desert villages.
- It is possible to put a saddle to ride on it (two players maximum).
- Camels are large mobs, and most mobs won’t be able to reach you while riding on their backs.
- If they are very graceful, the dromedaries do as they please and decide to take breaks at any time.
- It is possible to jump over barricades, but also sprint.
The other novelty of this snapshot 22w42a is the arrival of many crafts related to bamboo. Traps, doors and more can now be built with this resource, as can rafts. They work like boats, but with a different visual. You can find the details of the 22w42a snapshot on the official website. Otherwise, you can discover all of this for yourself, via the Java version, by selecting the snapshot in question before launching Minecraft.
