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.

You'll also encounter llamas accompanying wandering traders.

Llama Appearance and Traits

Llamas come 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 by leading multiple llamas further amplifies this advantage.

Beyond cargo, llamas provide a measure of protection. Their spitting ability can deter hostile mobs, giving you a tactical edge. Furthermore, their appearance can be customized with carpets, adding a decorative element to your caravan.

Taming a Llama: A Step-by-Step Guide

Taming a llama doesn't require a saddle but involves a process of repeated attempts.

Step 1: Finding a Llama: Locate llamas in savannas or mountainous regions. They often appear 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 buck, requiring persistence until hearts appear above it, signifying a successful taming.

Step 3: Using a Lead: While llamas can't be ridden directly, a lead allows you to guide them. Attaching a lead to one tamed llama will cause nearby llamas to follow, forming a caravan.
