Hanging signs are also coming in the update, so you can decorate your new bamboo house with them if you choose.

Minecraft 1.20 is coming with a couple of new mobs. First off is the camel mob, which is a rideable beast you can find around the desert villages of Minecraft. Camels appear to be quite tall in the
