Where to Find Llamas

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 llamas grazing in small herds (typically 4-6), ideal for creating caravans.

Additionally, llamas accompany wandering traders.

Llama Appearance and Traits

Llamas appear in four main 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 a chest significantly increases your carrying capacity, particularly useful during exploration. Forming a llama caravan further amplifies this advantage.

Beyond transport, llamas offer a defensive element, deterring hostile mobs with their spitting ability. They can also be aesthetically customized with carpets.

Taming a Llama: A Step-by-Step Guide

Taming a llama involves a simple process:

Step 3: Using a Lead: While not rideable, llamas can be led with a lead. Attaching a lead to one tamed llama will cause nearby llamas to follow, forming a caravan.
