Trader Llama Spawn Egg — Minecraft block
Trader Llama Spawn Egg
Trader Llama Spawn Egg instantly spawns a Trader Llama, the pack animal that escorts every Wandering Trader and spits at hostile mobs to defend nearby players.
Description
A Trader Llama behaves like a standard llama with one key difference: it spits at any hostile mob that attacks it, a nearby player, or its Wandering Trader, making the Trader Llama Spawn Egg useful for testing mob-defense setups and caravan mechanics. Trader Llamas can be leashed and linked into a caravan of up to ten animals, and their health ranges from 15 to 30 hit points (7.5 to 15 hearts) like ordinary llamas. Builders and map-makers use the Trader Llama Spawn Egg to populate villages, roads, and adventure maps with roaming merchants and their guardian llamas without waiting for a natural Wandering Trader to appear.

How to use a Trader Llama Spawn Egg in Minecraft
-
1
Open the spawn-egg inventory
Find the Trader Llama Spawn Egg in the Spawn Eggs tab of the Creative inventory, or run /give @s minecraft:trader_llama_spawn_egg in Survival.
-
2
Aim at a solid block
Point the crosshair at the ground or any solid surface where you want the Trader Llama to appear.
-
3
Right-click to spawn
Use the spawn egg (right-click) to place a Trader Llama at that spot; each use spawns exactly one llama.
-
4
Leash and form a caravan
Attach a lead to the Trader Llama and link several together into a caravan of up to ten animals.
A Trader Llama spawned from a spawn egg never despawns, unlike the two llamas that arrive leashed to a natural Wandering Trader and leave when the trader does.
