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: While less common, llamas can also be found grazing in small herds (4-6) in these areas, ideal for creating caravans.

Additionally, llamas are always found accompanying wandering traders.

Llama Appearance and Behavior

Llamas come in four colors: white, gray, brown, and beige. They are neutral mobs, meaning they won't attack unless provoked, but will defend themselves by spitting at attackers (like zombies).

Llama Uses

Llamas serve several crucial purposes:

• Cargo Transport: Attach a chest to a llama to significantly increase your carrying capacity while exploring. Forming a llama caravan further amplifies this capability.

• Caravan Formation: Lead one tamed llama, and others within a 10-block radius will follow, creating a mobile inventory. A maximum of 10 llamas can be in a caravan.

• Defense: Although not powerful combatants, llamas can deter some mobs with their spitting ability, providing a temporary distraction.

• Decoration: Personalize your llamas by placing carpets on their backs.
