Where to Find Llamas

Llamas inhabit specific biomes:

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

• Wandering Trader Caravans: Llamas are always part of a wandering trader's entourage.

Llama Appearance and Traits

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.

Llama Uses

Llamas excel as pack animals:

• Cargo Transport: Attaching a chest significantly increases carrying capacity, invaluable for exploration. Multiple llamas form caravans for even greater transport capabilities.

• Caravan Formation: Leading a tamed llama with a lead will cause nearby llamas to follow, creating a mobile inventory.

• Defense: While not powerful fighters, their spitting ability can deter and distract hostile mobs, providing valuable time.

• Decoration: Adding carpets adds a personalized touch to your llama caravan.

Taming a Llama: A Step-by-Step Guide

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

Step 1: Locating Llamas: Find them in savannas or mountainous biomes.
