Where Llamas Live

Llamas are found in specific biomes:

• Savannas: These warm biomes, characterized by yellow grass and acacia trees, often host llamas alongside horses and donkeys.
• Windswept Hills and Forests: These rarer areas provide grazing grounds for llamas, usually in groups of 4-6, ideal for forming caravans.
• Wandering Trader Caravans: Llamas are always part of a wandering trader's entourage.

Appearance and Features

Llamas appear in four main colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs, only attacking if provoked, but they will defend themselves by spitting at attackers.

Ways to Use Llamas

Llamas are excellent pack animals. Attaching a chest allows for convenient resource storage during exploration. Forming caravans of multiple llamas significantly increases carrying capacity.

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. Furthermore, they can be aesthetically customized with carpets.

How to Tame a Llama

Taming a llama involves a simple process:

Step 1: Finding

Locate llamas in savanna or mountainous biomes. They often appear in groups, simplifying the taming process.

Step 2: Mounting

Right-click (or use the appropriate action button) to mount a llama. It will attempt to buck you off; persist until hearts appear above it, indicating 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 llama will cause nearby tamed llamas to follow, creating a caravan.

How to Attach a Chest to a Llama

Simply right-click (or use the appropriate action button) on the llama while holding a chest. The chest's inventory size is random (up to 15 slots) and cannot be removed once attached. Access the chest by holding Shift and right-clicking. Forming a caravan is as easy as leading one tamed llama; others within a 10-block radius will follow (maximum 10 llamas).

How to Put a Carpet on a Llama

Right-click on a llama while holding a carpet to customize its appearance. Each carpet color creates a unique pattern.

With their carrying capacity, protective abilities, and customizable appearance, llamas are invaluable companions for your Minecraft adventures. Gather your caravan and embark on epic journeys!
