Where to Find Llamas

Llamas are primarily found in two biomes:

• Savannas: These warm biomes, characterized by yellow grass and acacia trees, often host llamas alongside horses and donkeys.

• Windswept Hills and Forests: These less common areas sometimes feature small herds of llamas, typically in groups of 4-6, ideal for creating caravans.

Additionally, llamas are always found accompanying wandering traders.

Llama Appearance and Traits

Llamas come in four main colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs; they won't attack unless provoked, but will spit at attackers as a defense mechanism.

Llama Uses

Llamas are invaluable for carrying cargo. Attaching a chest significantly increases your carrying capacity, perfect for exploration. Furthermore, forming a llama caravan multiplies this capacity exponentially.

Beyond cargo, llamas offer a degree of protection. While not formidable fighters, their spitting ability can deter and distract hostile mobs, giving you a tactical advantage. Finally, llamas can be aesthetically customized with carpets.

Taming a Llama: A Step-by-Step Guide

Taming a llama doesn't require a saddle, but it does involve a process:

Step 1: Finding a Llama

Locate llamas in savanna or mountainous biomes. Their tendency to travel in groups makes taming multiple llamas simultaneously easier.

Step 2: Mounting

Approach a llama and right-click (or use the equivalent action button on your platform) to mount it. The llama will buck, but persist until hearts appear above it, signifying a successful taming.

Step 3: Using a Lead

While llamas can't be ridden directly, they can be led with a lead. Attaching a lead to one tamed llama will cause nearby llamas to follow, creating a caravan.

Attaching a Chest to a Llama

Simply right-click on the llama with a chest in your hand. The chest's inventory size is random (up to 15 slots), and unfortunately, it cannot be removed once attached. Access the chest inventory by holding Shift and right-clicking the llama.

Llama caravans can consist of up to 10 llamas.

Right-click on a llama with a carpet in your hand to add a decorative carpet to its back. Experiment with different colors for unique looks!
