When taming Llamas, Minecraft players need to consider a few different factors. Appearance is the most obvious one, but this is purely up to the player’s preference of what they prefer. More important than that is the Llama’s strength value, as this determines how much it can carry. Finally, Llamas also have variable health depending on who their parents are.

Every wild Llama found is assigned a random strength value from one to five. For each point of Strength a Llama has, it has three inventory slots (ie. Llama with strength 1 has 3 slots while Llama with strength 5 has 15 slots). They are also assigned a random HP value from 15 to 30. When breeding Llamas in Minecraft, the offspring can only ever be one point stronger than its strongest parent, and this tends to be very rare. For hit points, the higher HP of both of its parents the better.
In order to get Llamas to enter Love Mode and breed, players need to feed them Hay Bales. These can be made with nine wheat, but it may take as many as three hay bales to get the Llama to start breeding. In order to maximize the chance of getting a strength five Llama, players should be sure to always have their strongest Llama be part of the breeding. Since only the strongest Llama’s strength value matters, choose the Llama with the most health for the other parent. Keep in mind it is always possible to go down in strength. Players only need to keep two Llamas really, the strongest one and the one with the most health.
That’s all there is to breeding Llamas. It may take a while to gather up the wheat needed for the Hay Bales, and the Strength and HP of the offspring are largely up to chance, but nothing beats having a strong caravan of Llamas. This is especially true if the player wants to move their Minecraft base somewhere else.
Minecraft is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
