Where Llamas Live
Llamas inhabit specific biomes in Minecraft, each offering a unique environment for these creatures. The Savanna biome, characterized by its warm climate and yellow grass interspersed with acacia trees, is a common home for llamas. Here, they roam alongside other animals like horses and donkeys.

Another habitat for llamas includes the Windswept Hills and Forests, rare biomes where these animals graze in small herds. You can typically find them in groups of 4 to 6, ideal for forming caravans.

Additionally, llamas are constant companions to wandering traders, providing a reliable way to encounter them.
Appearance and Features
Llamas in Minecraft come in four distinct colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. These neutral animals won't attack unless provoked, but they will defend themselves if attacked, notably by spitting at their aggressors. This defensive mechanism can be seen when a zombie or other mob threatens them.

Ways to Use Llamas
Llamas are incredibly versatile, serving multiple purposes in the game. One of their primary uses is as a cargo carrier. By attaching a chest, you can store essential resources, which is particularly useful when exploring. Furthermore, you can form a caravan of llamas, significantly increasing your transportation capacity.

Llamas can also be adorned with carpets, available in various colors, adding a decorative touch to your caravan. Moreover, their ability to spit at enemies provides a form of protection, deterring hostile mobs and giving players additional time to react.
How to Tame a Llama
Taming a llama is a straightforward process, essential for turning these animals into your adventure companions. Unlike horses or donkeys, llamas don't require a saddle but cannot be directly controlled. Here's how to tame them:
Step 1: Finding
Navigate to the savanna or mountainous biomes where llamas typically appear in groups, making it easier to tame multiple at once.

Step 3: Using a Lead
While llamas can't be ridden, they can be led using a leash. Attach a lead to one llama, and nearby llamas will follow, forming a caravan. This feature turns them into a mobile inventory, enhancing your resource management.

How to Attach a Chest to a Llama
Attaching a chest to a llama is simple. Just hold the chest and press the action button on the llama. The chest will provide a random number of slots, up to 15, for storage. Note that once attached, the chest cannot be removed, so plan your inventory management carefully. To access the chest, hold down Shift and press the action button on the llama.
