To put a chest on a trader llama in Minecraft, you simply need to have a chest in your hand and then interact with the llama. The process is the same as equipping a chest on any other llama.
How to Equip a Chest on Your Llama
Equipping a chest onto a llama, including a trader llama, is a straightforward process that varies slightly depending on your game edition. First, ensure you have a standard chest in your inventory and selected in your hotbar.
Quick Reference Guide
| Game Edition | Action |
|---|---|
| Minecraft: Java Edition | With the chest selected in your hotbar, position your pointer (crosshairs) over the llama and right-click it. |
| Minecraft: Bedrock Edition | Move your pointer over the llama. An "Attach Chest" button will appear on your screen; press this button. This applies to Pocket Edition (PE), consoles, and Windows 10 editions. |
Detailed Steps by Edition
Trader llamas, while typically appearing with a Wandering Trader, function identically to regular llamas when it comes to attaching chests. They do not require taming by the player before a chest can be placed on them, though taming might be desired for other interactions or ownership.
For Minecraft: Java Edition (PC/Mac)
- Select a Chest: Open your inventory and drag a standard chest into your hotbar.
- Hold the Chest: Make sure the chest is the currently selected item in your hotbar, meaning you are "holding" it.
- Interact with the Llama: Position your crosshairs directly over the trader llama.
- Right-Click: While pointing at the llama and holding the chest, right-click your mouse. The chest will instantly appear on the llama's back, providing it with inventory space.
For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (Pocket Edition, Consoles, Windows 10)
- Select a Chest: Navigate to your inventory and place a standard chest in your hotbar.
- Hold the Chest: Ensure the chest is the active item you are holding.
- Approach the Llama: Move close to the trader llama.
- Activate "Attach Chest": As you move your pointer over the llama, a button prompt labeled "Attach Chest" will appear on your screen. Press this button to equip the chest.
Once a chest is equipped, you can access the llama's inventory by opening its GUI (Graphical User Interface), usually by interacting with it again while not holding an item. This storage is particularly useful for transporting items across your Minecraft world.
