Llama

"Llamas come in four fetching colours, brown, grey, white and creamy. A neutral mob, they can be tamed just like horses and leashed together in chains to form caravans, which is far less grim and prison-chain-gangy than I've just made it sound. Honest! Llamas can even have little llama babies, as if they weren't insufferably cute enough already."

- Tom Stone

Llamas are neutral mobs that can be tamed and used to transport large shipments of items.

Spawning
Llamas spawn at light level 7 or above, they naturally spawn in savanna biomes in herds of 4 llamas and in mountains biomes in herds of 4–6 llamas. They come in four variants of coat colours: brown, cream, white, gray. Wandering traders always spawn with two leashed trader llamas.

10% of llamas spawn as babies.

In Bedrock Edition, there is no spawn egg for trader llamas. They always spawn when a wandering trader is spawned using a spawn egg or by using the command, although a trader llama can be summoned using.

Drops
Adults drop:
 * 0-2 (up to 0-5 with Looting 3).
 * Any equipped.
 * All items in their inventory.
 * , only if killed by a tamed wolf or the player.

Upon successful breeding, is dropped.

Leading
Llamas do not accept saddles, so the player can't control one's movement, even when tamed. Thus, leads become the best way to move llamas. Leading a llama actually signals up to ten nearby llamas (both tamed and untamed) to follow each other, forming a caravan. A caravan can have up to ten llamas in it, including babies. Leashing a second llama forms a caravan of ten more llamas, and there is no intentional limit on the number of llamas following a player.

Storage
Llamas can be equipped with chests, giving it 3, 6, 9, 12, or 15 slots of inventory space, scaling directly with its NBT (see  below). Once equipped, the chest cannot be retrieved without killing the llama. A llama's potential carry capacity is equal to 3* item slots.

Decoration


Llamas can be equipped with carpets in their carpet slot. Each carpet color shows as a different patterned rug on the llamas back. This can be useful for color-coding items, similar to dyed Shulker Boxes.

For the purposes of the command, a llama carries its carpet in the   slot.

Trader Llamas have a unique, blue carpet design as their base skin. It can be replaced with any of the carpets for a different look, but cannot be removed.

Spitting
Llamas are neutral, but if a player or mob attacks one, it spits at the attacker once to deal damage. Sometimes their spit can miss their target and hit another llama, starting a fight within a group of llamas.

Llamas are hostile to wild wolves and will spit without provocation, and they don't attack tamed wolves (dogs) unless provoked. Wolves are fearful of llamas of strength 4 or 5 and always run away. Wolves flee from weaker llamas less often.

Trader llamas are hostile toward all zombie variants and illagers, and they defend both themselves and their wandering trader.

Taming
Llamas can be tamed by repeatitively riding them until hearts are displayed, done by pressing on the llama while holding nothing or a spawn egg.

Taming success depends on the llama's NBT. is a positive trait, with higher value increasing the chance of successful taming. Llamas begin with a  value of 0 and a maximum of 100. When a player rides an untamed llama, a random number from 0 to 99 is chosen. The llama gets tamed successfully if this number is less than the  value, otherwise, the   is increased by 5 and the player is bucked off. can also be decreased by feeding the llama.

Naturally spawned trader llamas are untamed and unrideable while lead by their wandering trader. If unleashed, they become tamable or tamed. In Java Edition, tamed trader llamas do not despawn.

Like all tame animals, a death message is displayed to a tamed llama's owner if it is killed.

Breeding
Tamed llamas can be bred by being fed 1–3 hay bales. Both parents must be tamed before they can breed. Trader llamas cannot breed.

The offspring takes on the appearance of either parent as if chosen by a coin flip. Its strength is chosen as a random integer between 1 and the strength of the stronger parent, inclusive. 3% of the time the resulting strength is increased by 1, but it's still capped at 5. For quick reference, consult the following table.

Select a row based on the stronger parent. The column shows the probability of the resulting offspring having a given strength.

Llamas breed in the vicinity if they are on a lead. Although one of llamas may not respond to being fed right away; they accept a hay bale/bale(s) if needed to breed. This can result in the consumption from 1 to 3 hay bales.

Food
Feeding a llama food can alter its behavior, restoring lost health or making a baby grow faster (babies ordinarily take 20 minutes to mature to adults). The table below lists the effects of the 2 food items llamas accept.

To feed a llama, hold a valid food item and press while facing the llama. Llamas can be fed only when feeding would have an effect, similar to other animals. If the food is invalid, the player will mount the llama instead.

ID
Java Edition:

Bedrock Edition:

Entity data
Llamas have entity data associated with them that contains various properties of the mob.

Spit
Llama spit has entity data associated with it that contain various properties of the spit entity. It produces spit particles when summoned, and obeys gravity. The spit entity must belong to a llama to deal damage, meaning that the spit summoned by commands deals no damage.
