	“	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 which can be tamed and used to transport large shipments of items.

Spawning

Llamas spawn naturally in savanna (plateau variant) and extreme hills biomes, in herds of four or five and typically on top of hills. Their wool colors often depend on what biome they are in.

Appearance

Llamas can spawn with one of four different skins. This will either be brown, creamy, gray, or white.

They are 0.9 blocks wide and 1.87 blocks tall.

Drops

Llamas drop 0–2 leather. They will also drop anything equipped, such as a carpet, a chest, all the items in their inventory, and 1–3 experience.

Like other baby animals, killing a baby llama yields no items, nor experience.

Usage

Taming and leading

Llamas can be tamed similarly to horses. They can be tamed by right clicking on the llama until it shows hearts. However, even when tamed, the player can't control their movements when riding them. A lead can be attached to one, and when this happens, surrounding llamas (both tamed and un-tamed) will follow, making a caravan. A caravan can have up to ten llamas in it, including babies. Even though only ten llamas can be in a caravan, leashing a second llama forms a second caravan. Using this feature, a player can lead as many llamas as they want.

Storage

Llamas can be equipped with chests, giving it 3, 6, 9, 12, or 15 slots of inventory space, according to the NBT-tag "Strength" (see 'Data Values' below). The storage available is 3*(Strength).

Decoration

All llama carpet patterns.

They can also be equipped with carpets. Each carpet color yields a different pattern.

For the purposes of the /replaceitem command, a llama carries its carpet in the slot.horse.armor slot.

Behavior

Spitting

Llamas are neutral, and if a player or mob attacks one, it will spit at the attacker once, dealing 1 () damage. They are hostile to untamed wolves, and will spit at them without provocation. Sometimes when they spit at a wolf or player they can start a fight within a group of llamas by accidentally hitting each other.

Llamas will tend to repel wolves with their spitting, depending on their strength value. For llamas with strength 4 and 5, wolves will always run away, and for weaker llamas, wolves will run away correspondingly less often.

Llamas won't attack tamed wolves (dogs) unless provoked.

Breeding

Tamed llamas can be bred using hay bales.

The children will take on the appearance of one of the parents as if by a coin flip. The 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.

	Wild	1	2	3	4	5
1	32.8%	97%	48.5%	32.33%	24.25%	19.4%
2	32.8%	3%	50%	33.33%	25%	20%
3	32.8%		1.5%	33.33%	25%	20%
4	0.8%			1%	25%	20%
5	0.8%				0.75%	20.6%

Select a column based on the stronger parent. Wild means there are no parents, e.g. a llama spawned by world generation or a spawn egg. Select a row to find the probability of the resulting llama having a specific strength.
