Balancing of Camel's stamina/sitting

Currently, the Camel has a feature where it will occasionally sit down (at random intervals) and refuse to move for a while until the player pushes forward, this feature is intended to balance the strength of the camel (as you can sprint with it for speed, dash, avoid zombies, etc.) but I believe it hinders the usability of camels quite heavily.

To resolve this I believe a feature would be useful where feeding the camel food such as wheat could reduce its chances of needing to sit down, as it is well fed and full of energy (alternatively, feeding it wheat could prevent it from sitting and stopping entirely for some time/distance travelled). This would make it so horses aren't overshadowed by the camel too much either, as the player can decide between wanting a mount that they can ride all the time without needing to worry about stamina or a mount that has some extra benefits (such as dashing and 2 seats)  but requires occasional feeding to keep it's overall stamina up so that it does not need to rest as often.

As an extra, feeding the camel good foods such as golden apples or even enchanted golden apples could prevent it from needing to rest entirely for a while (or even permanently if fed an enchanted golden apple, due to the items rarity and difficulty of obtaining). Overall, the camel has alot of potential, but needs a bit more to its balancing then just stopping entirely at random intervals.
