Camels Should Drink Water

Camels should stop near any water source to drink from it. After the camel has finished drinking, the water source would be gone, and the camel would not drink water for another 10 minutes.

    Addition: If a camel goes too long (2h) w/o water, it will take damage until it dies. Forgot to mention that in the post.

    This could be an amazing use for desert wells.

    There's no point. No other mobs do this.

    Yes, no other mobs do this. It would be unique to the camel. Another great reason to make this as a feature. If you think this needs a purpose, then you should post feedback or a comment.

    I suggested maybe it could drink water to tame it (forget cacti, heh) and then to travel long distances, it could drink water to keep up its energy.

    Jeder Mob sollte Trinken die Wasser Quelle würde aber nicht verschwinden.

    Die Mobs Trinken oft so wie sie auch Gras Essen aber sie werden nicht sterben wenn sie nicht Trinken würden. 

    Es dient lediglich um schöne Animationen und Realismus ins Spiel zu bringen!

    I don't think they should drink entire water source blocks, that would just be annoying. It should just be a drinking animation, like how horses don't actually eat grass.

    And why would camels be the only mob that needs to drink water to survive? That would just be annoying...

    I do not think having it die from not drinking water should be a feature. As a behavior, it could be used to refill its health if the Camel takes damage. Though it shouldn't drink ponds dry either

    Dont remove the water source or have it  need water to live, but this would be a cool animation none the less!

    And if you were to kill a camel, it should drop "Large Leather", used to sell to make advanced water pouches. I guess you could sell these to villagers.

    In addition to the problem being that it is the only mob for which it is necessary to drink (or then it would have to be the case for all mobs)
10 minutes is much too short a time, the camels being able to stay 2 long weeks without drinking in nature, so a duration of 14 Minecraft days (i.e. a real duration of 4 hours 40 minutes) would be more appropriate
