A llama is a tameable neutral mob that can be equipped with a chest to transport items, and can also wear carpets. If attacked, it will retaliate using its spit.

A llama spawns above on grass blocks in savanna plateau, savanna‌^{[BE only][1]} or windswept savanna‌^{[BE only]} biomes in herds of 4 llamas, and in windswept hills, windswept forest, and windswept gravelly hills biomes in herds of 4 to 6 llamas, coming in four coat colors: brown, cream, white or gray.

10% of llamas spawn as baby llamas.

1–7XP upon successful breeding.

Java Edition:

Bedrock Edition:

• Any equipped 👁 Image
  carpets and 👁 Image
  chest.
• All items in their inventory.
• 1–3XP experience orbs if killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Like other baby animals, killing a baby llama yields no item or experience.

Llamas are neutral mobs that retaliate when attacked by a player or another mob. Occasionally, their spit can miss its intended target and accidentally hit another llama, causing them to fight each other.

Llamas are hostile toward wolves and spit without provocation, but they don't attack tamed wolves unless provoked. Wolves are fearful of llamas of strength 4 or 5 and always run away, and won't attack unless provoked by their spit.^[2] Wolves flee from weaker llamas less often.

Llamas are completely passive in Peaceful difficulty.

Llamas float when in water deeper than two blocks.

Llamas can safely fall 6 blocks before they begin to accumulate fall damage, unlike most mobs, which can only safely fall 3 blocks. Llamas also take half of the normal fall damage (rounded up) that most other mobs take (0.5HP👁 ❤️
× 0.25 damage per block over the safe distance instead of 1HP👁 💔
). If an entity is riding a llama, they receive the same fall damage as the llama.

Llamas have a ¹⁄₉₀₀ chance to regenerate 1HP👁 💔
health point each game tick.

Unlike other neutral mobs, llamas don't count towards the AngryAt tag.^[3][4][5]

Llamas attack other mobs by spitting at them, dealing 1HP👁 💔
damage. Llama spit is not flammable. In Bedrock Edition, like other projectiles, it can be thrown back at the llama.

Llamas can be tamed by repetitively riding them until hearts are displayed, done by pressing use on the llama while holding nothing.

Taming success depends on the llama's Temper value. Temper is a positive trait, with higher values increasing the chance of successful taming. Llamas begin with a Temper value of 0 and a maximum of 30. When a player rides an untamed llama, a random number from 0 to 29 is chosen. The llama gets tamed successfully if this number is less than the Temper value, otherwise, the Temper is increased by 5 and the player is bucked off. Temper can also be increased by feeding the llama.

Tamed llamas do not spit at mobs that attack its owner, although it spits at any mob that attacks the llama. Tamed llamas can still retaliate at players should the player hit them.

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

A llama can be fed by holding a valid food item and pressing use 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 mounts the llama instead.

Adult tamed llamas can be bred by being fed a hay bale. The baby llama takes on the coat color of one parent at random. 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 is capped at 5.

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

A llama's base health (15HP👁 ❤️
× 7.5 to 30HP👁 ❤️
× 15) is calculated based on that of its parents, in the same way as a horse's.

Color variant of llama is randomly selected between parents.

When breeding a trader llama with a normal llama in Java Edition, the offspring will always be a normal llama. In Bedrock Edition, the offspring can be either normal or trader llama.

Llamas form a caravan when one of them is leashed by a player.

Leashing a llama causes up to nine nearby llamas that are not already in a caravan to follow it, forming a caravan of up to ten llamas. When multiple llamas are leashed, each leashed llama can lead its own caravan of up to ten llamas. A caravan cannot contain more than one leashed llama, and there is no limit to the number of caravans a player can lead.

A tamed llama can be equipped with a chest by pressing the use control on it while holding a chest. The chest gives the llama 3 to 15 slots of inventory space, depending on its strength (see table below). Once equipped, its contents can be accessed by pressing the use control on the llama while sneaking, or by opening the inventory while riding the llama. The chest itself cannot be retrieved without killing the llama.

A tamed llama can be equipped with a wool carpet in its carpet slot. Each carpet color shows as a different patterned rug when on the llama's back. This can be useful for color-coding the llamas as storage containers, like dyed shulker boxes.

When given carpets, all types of llamas look the same, except for their fur colors. In Java Edition, a llama's carpet decoration, including the default blue rug of a trader llama, remains visible when the llama is under the effect of Invisibility;^[6] in Bedrock Edition, it becomes invisible.

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

Issues relating to "Llama" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

• Some carpets on a llama's back represent certain mobs; a green carpet uses the face of the green creeper, while a purple carpet gains eyes like those of an enderman. A llama wearing a gray carpet has a mask, similar to that of a superhero or a bandit.
• The llama was the first mob that Agnes Larsson designed. She visited a real-life llama named Adrian to use as a model.^[8]
