Description

Trader Llama Spawn Egg is a creative-only item that spawns a Trader Llama when you right-click a block surface, and it cannot be crafted or obtained in Survival without commands. Trader Llama Spawn Egg was introduced in Minecraft Java Edition 1.14 (Village & Pillage) and Bedrock Edition 1.11, the same update that added the Wandering Trader. In the wild, two Trader Llamas spawn already leashed to each Wandering Trader, but a llama created from the Trader Llama Spawn Egg is persistent and never despawns.

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 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.

Java & Bedrock Guide

How to use a Trader Llama Spawn Egg in Minecraft

  1. 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. 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. 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.

    Attach a lead to the Trader Llama and link several together into a caravan of up to ten animals.

Persistence note

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.
