Llama Habitats

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 feature small herds (4-6 llamas) ideal for caravan formation.

Additionally, llamas accompany wandering traders.

Appearance and Traits

Llamas appear in four colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs, only attacking if provoked but defending themselves by spitting.

Llama Uses

Llamas excel as pack animals. Attaching chests significantly increases your carrying capacity, especially useful during exploration. Forming caravans further amplifies this advantage.

Beyond cargo, llamas offer a degree of protection. Their spitting ability can deter hostile mobs, providing valuable time. Furthermore, they can be aesthetically customized with carpets.

Taming a Llama: A Step-by-Step Guide

Taming a llama doesn't require a saddle, but it's not a direct mount. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Finding

Locate llamas in savannas or mountainous biomes. Their tendency to group makes multiple taming easier.

Step 3: Using a Lead

While not rideable, llamas can be led with a lead. Leading one llama will cause nearby tamed llamas to follow, forming a caravan.

Attaching a Chest

Simply right-click on a tamed llama with a chest to attach it. Inventory size is random (up to 15 slots), and chests are permanently attached. Use Shift + right-click to access the chest's inventory.

Caravans are formed by leading a tamed llama; others within 10 blocks will follow (maximum 10 llamas).
