Where Llamas Live
Llamas can be found in three distinct biomes, each offering a unique setting for these creatures to thrive:
Savanna — a warm biome characterized by yellow grass and acacia trees. Here, llamas mingle with other animals like horses and donkeys.

Windswept Hills and Forest — these rare areas are where llamas often graze in small herds. Typically, they appear in groups of 4 to 6, ideal for forming caravans.

Llamas also accompany wandering traders, making them easy to spot as they travel the world.
Appearance and Features
Llamas come in four primary colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs, meaning they won't attack unless provoked, but they will defend themselves if attacked. A unique feature is their ability to spit at enemies, such as zombies, to defend themselves.

Ways to Use Llamas
Llamas are incredibly useful for carrying cargo. By attaching a chest, you can store resources, which is particularly handy during exploration. Additionally, you can form a caravan of llamas, significantly increasing your transport capacity.

They can also be adorned with carpets, available in various colors, adding a personal touch to your caravan. Moreover, llamas can protect players by scaring off enemy mobs with their spitting defense, providing valuable time during encounters.
How to Tame a Llama
Taming a llama involves gaining its trust, a process that differs from taming horses or donkeys. Here's how to do it:
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 with a leash. Attach a lead to one tamed llama, and nearby llamas will follow, forming a caravan. This feature turns them into a mobile inventory system.

How to Attach a Chest to a Llama
Attaching a chest to a llama is straightforward. Simply hold the chest and press the action button on the llama. The chest will provide a random number of slots, up to 15.
