Desert update

I think an excellent addition to Minecraft would be a desert update with…
Camels that you can ride like a horse.
Mummies that are hostile and have a rare chance of spawning with devil horns.
Scorpions that would be a brand new boss like mob found in the desert temple.
Quicksand that if you stand in it you start to sink down.
Explorers hats that would give you the luck affect.
Palm trees that would be a rare tree in the desert.
Sand storms that if you get caught in one you would get the slowness affect.
And more…

    Camels would essentially be remodeled Llamas. There could be a Wandering Trader variant with Camels. If Thirst is added, Camels may be better equipped to stay in the Desert

    Mummies should be an alternate skin for Husks

    Quicksand could be a liquid but it could also be a block like Powder Snow

    yes! but the scorpions, Mojang don´t like boss, they said that dragon and wither are more that sufficient, even the elder guardian is not considered a boss, in all cases it will be a mini boss; I think that palm trees will be in a rare sub biome of desert, the oasis, that will more realistic than found them in a forget point of desert; mummies, I think that they must be in the desert temples, and I think that they need a reform, because, well you only enter, going down, catch the loot and put some blocks to back, it´s very boring adventure, even the jungle temple is more interesting, for this I thing that the desert temples need a update and the mummies will be part of the new desert temples and if the camels will be implemented, the horses need to be nerfed in the desert, like horses in the sand have the slowness 3 effect, but great post!

    Exactly. I genuinely think that Minecraft NEEDS a Desert Update. It seems to be the only biome that just lacks of some more features. Alongside all the proposals you've already put forward, I would definetely suggest to add some new places located in deserts, such as short mazes, a bunch of caves or structures similar to pyramids where you might find either an appealing treasure or a mortal danger; thus with enemies and mobs designed strictly for the desert biome.

    I feel like Scorpions should spawn kinda like Silverfish, with Monster Sandstone. When you mine Monster Sandstone, Scorpions pop out and attack.

    I was thinking of something just like this! However, I feel the scorpion shouldn't be a boss. The scorpion should be similar to the cave spider as in giving poison and being small. Also quick sand would really add an element of trudging through the heat of a desert. I also feel it would be appropriate to add fossils, implement archeology, and increase the amount of sand above sandstone would all make sense here.

    I think thirst is a cool idea. Maybe being in the desert or dry places in hard mode would start to give you thirst, and to not be thirsty you would need a water bottle or water/milk bucket, or swimming in a freshwater lake. Fossils sound cool, what would you do with them?

    It would be significantly more to have a pharaoh as a boss over the scorpion, also I would appreciate if you check out some of my ideas for the end.

    The sand strom can break elaytra and when you go to desert you get tersty effect that gives you damage and you can deny it for 30 seconds.
    The last one give water bottle and Desert wells a use.
