Where to Find Llamas

Llamas are typically 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, usually in groups of 4-6, ideal for creating caravans.

You'll also find llamas accompanying wandering traders.

Llama Appearance and Behavior

Llamas come in four colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs; they won't attack unless provoked but will defend themselves by spitting at aggressors.

Llama Uses

Llamas are invaluable for transporting items. Attaching chests significantly increases your carrying capacity, especially useful during exploration. Furthermore, forming a llama caravan multiplies this 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. Finally, you can customize their appearance with carpets.

Taming a Llama: A Step-by-Step Guide

Taming a llama doesn't require a saddle, but it does involve a bit of patience.

Step 1: Finding a Llama

Locate llamas in savannas or mountainous biomes. Their tendency to travel in groups increases your chances of taming multiple llamas at once.

Step 2: Mounting

Right-click (or use the equivalent action button on your platform) to mount a llama. It will likely buck you off repeatedly. Persist until hearts appear above the llama, signifying a successful taming.

Step 3: Using a Lead

While llamas can't be ridden directly, you can lead them with a leash. Attaching a lead to one tamed llama will cause nearby llamas to follow, forming a caravan – a mobile inventory!

Attaching a Chest to a Llama

Simply interact with the llama while holding a chest. The chest's inventory size is random (up to 15 slots), and it cannot be removed once attached. Use Shift + interact to access the chest's inventory. A caravan can hold up to 10 llamas.
