Where Llamas Live
Llamas inhabit specific biomes in Minecraft, making them a bit of a treasure to find. They are commonly spotted in the Savanna biome, characterized by its warm climate, yellow grass, and acacia trees. Here, they mingle with other animals like horses and donkeys.

In rarer locations like Windswept Hills and Forests, llamas often graze in small herds, typically appearing in groups of 4 to 6. These groups are perfect for starting your own llama caravan.

Additionally, llamas are always found accompanying wandering traders, providing another opportunity to encounter them.
Appearance and Features
Llamas showcase a variety of colors including white, gray, brown, and beige, adding to the diversity of your Minecraft world. These neutral creatures won't attack unless provoked, but they will defend themselves, notably by spitting at threats like zombies.

Decorating llamas with carpets, available in numerous colors, adds a personal touch to your caravan. Beyond utility, llamas offer a layer of protection by scaring off enemy mobs with their spitting defense, buying you precious time during encounters.
How to Tame a Llama
Taming a llama to become your adventure companion involves a few steps, distinct from taming horses or donkeys as they don't require a saddle but can't be directly controlled.
Step 1: Finding
Venture into the Savanna or mountainous biomes where llamas are found in groups, facilitating the taming of multiple llamas at once.

Step 3: Using a Lead
While you can't ride llamas, you can lead them with a leash. Attach a lead to one tamed llama, and nearby llamas will follow, forming a caravan. This feature turns your llamas into a mobile inventory system.
