Steps to Tame and Ride a Llama

In Minecraft when you find a llama, you can tame it.

Llamas are usually found in either the Extreme Hills biome or Savanna biome.

2. Tame the Llama

To tame a llama, make sure you have nothing selected in your hotbar. You must use your hand to tame the llama.

You will tame a llama by repeatedly trying to mount the llama and getting bucked off. The game control to tame the llama depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For PC/Mac, right click on the llama.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the llama and press the Mount button.
• For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
• For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the llama.
• For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
• For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
• For Education Edition, right click on the llama.

The llama will buck you off. Each time you are knocked off, try to mount the llama again. After every attempt, the llama will let you sit on it a bit longer before it bucks you off.

When the llama is tamed, you should see red hearts appear all around the llama and the llama will no longer buck you off.

Now at this point, you can sit on the llama but you can not control the movement of the llama. Unfortunately, you can not put a saddle on a llama to control its movements but you can use a lead and guide the llama.

Now let's learn how to get on the llama.

3. Mount the Llama

Now that you have tamed a llama, you can ride it. The game control to mount the llama depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For PC/Mac, right click on the llama.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the llama and press the Mount button.
• For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
• For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
• For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the llama.
• For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
• For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
• For Education Edition, right click on the llama.

You will mount and be riding the llama. As the llama moves, you will move around with it. Again, you will not be able to control the movements of the llama.

Change the camera angle if you want to see yourself riding the llama.

4. Dismount the Llama

The game control to dismount the llama depends on the version of Minecraft:

• For PC/Mac, press the left shift key.
• For Pocket Edition (PE), press the Center button (ie: crouch/sneak button) twice.
• For PS3 and PS4, press the Right Stick (RS) on the PS controller.
• For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the Right Stick (RS) on the Xbox controller.
• Windows 10 Edition, press the left shift key.
