Mobs can be transported by camels like in boats

Would be great if camels could transport not only second player, but also mobs, for example villagers. They would be great alternative to boats on land! Would make transporting villagers much easier. Especially that zombies couldn't attack them while on camel.

EDIT: I've seen some questions on how Mojang could implement this idea (there are some issues) and decided to give a few solutions to that here.

  • First thing being - how could we dismount mobs. For sure we don't want to kill camel like boats. I thought maybe entities can dismount, when player takes off a saddle. Another idea may be that they would do that after camel lays down after the journey.

  • Second thing - zombies getting on camels with villagers. I don't really see a problem here, because in boats we already can have both mobs. But I may have a simple solution - just make mobs being able to sit on camel only while it is in laying mode, so that when it gets up no zombie can sit on it (and villager is safely travellig)

    Maybe not every mob but humanoid mobs would be amazing.

    Also make sure mobs can only get on when the camel is sitting or else this would ruin the "mobs can't reach you while you're on a camel" feature. Perhaps add a way to trigger the sitting animation to make things easier.

    How would that work? You wouldn't want hostile mobs like zombies getting onto them if mobs were able to. Seems like a tricky thing to do.

    I agree with villagers, but other mobs don't make as much sense

    maybe if the camel sits mobs can get on but when standing only the player could get on. this would add a new danger during night since the camels will randomly sit.

    We would need a way to make the camel lay down then, perhaps by shift-right-clicking them. Cause it would be absolutely irritating to have to wait around just to get the camel to lay down on its own.

    I think adding the ability to move villagers on camels would be great!

    I think this would be a better addition for Llamas instead. You can make a caravan for moving mobs around

    Ordinary boats and camels should not be a trap for all mobs. Instead add STICKY minecarts and boats using slime. This should not make mobs incapable of attacking.

    I think mobs should only be able to get in the second seat. Solves the zombie villager problem. I also think that you should have to manually put mobs on the camels, instead of them only needing to accidentally  touch the camel to get on. The player should have to ride the camel and then right click the mob. Right clicking the mob when it is on the camel again will dismount the mob. Makes sense, since interacting with mobs or players interacting while on a camel shouldn't work since they've got their hands full and theyre 3 blocks high which ties into the whole "Hostiles can't hit you from 3 blocks high since youre on a camel!" thing.

    That would make the camel even more unbalanced. Also, how would this be animated? How could this work? Maybe if the camel is on the ground.
