What do llamas eat in Minecraft? Breeding & taming guide
Llamas are arguably the most sought-after pet in Minecraft because they’re cute and grant extra storage. If you’re confused about what llamas eat in Minecraft and how to breed and tame them, this guide will help you.
Having a llama in Minecraft is highly beneficial because you can attach two chests on their backs and based on the animal’s randomized strength, these chests can offer up to 15 slots of storage. Hence, before going on a long exploration journey, make sure that you have some Llamas and a lead to control their movement.
You can tame and breed llamas as well but for that, you need to know what they eat. This guide will reveal what llamas eat in Minecraft, and how to breed and tame them.
What do llamas eat in Minecraft?
Llamas in Minecraft eat hay bales. The food item heals them and even helps in taming and breeding.
You can find hay bales primarily in plains villages where you can mine them with any tool. Do not expect to find them in barren lands, deserts, or savanna villages.
You can also craft a block of hay bale with nine pieces of wheat. Fill an entire 3×3 crafting grid with wheat to get one block of the hay bale.
Wheat is abundantly found in the Overworld and you can also visit villages where there’s a high chance that you’ll spot a wheat farm. Collect wheat seeds by breaking the crop and thereafter, you can grow it yourself.
How to tame llamas in Minecraft
Repeatedly sit on a llama until it no longer kicks you off to tame it and you can boost this process by feeding it hay bale. When hearts appear over the animal’s head, you can consider it tamed.

Do note that tamed llamas cannot be saddled like horses. As a result, the only way to control a llama’s movement in the game is a lead. You can ride a tamed llama but it won’t follow your directions.
Interestingly, if you use a lead to bring a tamed llama on a journey, all the nearby llamas will also follow you even if they’re untamed.
