Quick answer
  • Tame a llama by getting on it again and again until hearts appear.
  • Give it a Chest for 3 to 15 slots of storage.

Llamas are walking storage. They're perfect for moving lots of items when you're setting up a new base.

Where to find them

Llamas spawn in herds of 4 to 6 on savanna plateaus and in windswept hills. Wandering traders also bring trader llamas.

Taming

  1. Get on the llama with an empty hand.
  2. It throws you off. Keep trying until hearts appear.
  3. Feeding it first makes taming quicker.
