Where Llamas Live

Llamas are primarily found in Savannas—warm biomes characterized by yellow grass and acacia trees. They often roam alongside horses and donkeys.

You can also find them in the rarer Windswept Hills and Forest biomes, usually grazing in groups of 4-6, perfect for forming caravans.

Finally, llamas are always found accompanying Wandering Traders.

Appearance and Features

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

Ways to Use Llamas

Llamas are excellent pack animals. Attaching a chest allows you to carry significant resources, invaluable during exploration. Forming caravans by leading multiple llamas exponentially increases your carrying capacity.

Beyond cargo, llamas offer a degree of protection. While not powerful combatants, their spitting ability can deter and distract enemy mobs, buying you valuable time. Furthermore, they can be aesthetically customized with carpets.

How to Tame a Llama

Taming a llama involves gaining its trust. Unlike horses or donkeys, llamas don't require saddles, but they cannot be directly controlled.

Step 1: Finding

Locate llamas in savanna or mountainous biomes. They usually travel in groups, simplifying the taming process.

Step 2: Mounting

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

Step 3: Using a Lead

While unrideable, llamas can be led with a lead. Attaching a lead to one tamed llama will cause nearby llamas to follow, creating a caravan.

How to Attach 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 cannot be removed once attached. Use Shift + right-click to access the chest's inventory.

Creating a caravan is simple: attach a lead to one tamed llama, and others within 10 blocks will follow (maximum caravan size: 10 llamas).

How to Put a Carpet on a Llama

Right-click on a llama with a carpet in your hand to add a decorative carpet to its back.

Llamas are more than just mobs; they are valuable companions for efficient and enjoyable Minecraft adventures. Tame a herd, load them up, and embark on an unforgettable journey!
