Llama
Llama — mob.
Natural spawning
Llamas spawn in windswept hills, windswept gravelly hills, and savanna plateau terrain. They arrive in small groups and share a warm, dry-world role with the other passive farm animals in those biomes.
| Spawn biomes | Windswept hills, windswept gravelly hills, savanna plateau |
|---|---|
| Group size | 4–6 in windswept hills; 4 in savanna plateau |
| Spawn light | Above 7 |
| Baby chance | 10% |
| Category | Passive creature |
Drops
An adult llama can drop leather when it dies. Looting can increase the amount, while a carpet or chest is not treated as a normal mob drop.
| Leather | 0–2 |
|---|---|
| Experience | 1–3 when killed by a player or tamed wolf |
| Equipment | Carpet, chest, and inventory contents are returned separately |
Taming and breeding
Repeatedly riding a llama increases its temper until it accepts a player. Wheat heals and calms it, while a hay block also heals more, grows a baby faster, and starts breeding for a tamed adult. A foal inherits one parent's coat and a strength based on both parents.
| Wheat | Heals 2, adds 3 temper, grows 10 ticks |
|---|---|
| Hay block | Heals 10, adds 6 temper, grows 90 ticks |
| Offspring coat | One parent's variant |
| Offspring strength | 1–5, based on the stronger parent |
Carrying and leading
Once tamed, a llama accepts a chest for storage and a carpet for decoration. Its strength value determines the number of chest columns, from one to five. A lead can start a caravan, allowing nearby llamas to follow the head of the group.
| Chest storage | 3–15 slots |
|---|---|
| Strength | 1–5 |
| Carpet | Changes the decorative harness |
| Caravan | Up to nine followers behind one leader |
Sounds
Llamas use separate sounds for ambient calls, anger, hurt, death, eating, footsteps, chest equipment, and spit attacks.
| Ambient | entity.llama.ambient |
|---|---|
| Angry | entity.llama.angry |
| Hurt | entity.llama.hurt |
| Death | entity.llama.death |
| Eat | entity.llama.eat |
| Step | entity.llama.step |
| Spit | entity.llama.spit |
| Chest | entity.llama.chest |
Behavior
The llama is a neutral pack animal that can be tamed. It follows players holding wheat or a hay block, spits at hostile wolves, and can follow another llama in a caravan. It floats in deep water, safely falls six blocks, and takes half normal fall damage beyond that distance. Its four natural coat variants are brown, creamy, gray, and white.

Data values
The entity stores its coat variant and strength alongside the standard living-entity state. The public identifier is stable across the normal and trader-lama rendering variants.

| Version | Minecraft 26.2 |

| Default temper | 0–30 |
| Random strength | Usually 1–3; rare 4–5 roll |
History
Llamas combine the passive-animal and pack-animal systems: they keep a coat variant, temper, strength, chest inventory, carpet equipment, and caravan links as separate entity state. Trader llamas use the same base family with their own owner and visual context.
Trivia
A caravan is a chain of ordinary llamas rather than a single inventory object. A stronger parent can raise the upper range for a baby's strength, while the coat is selected from one of the two parents.
