Spawn

Llama attack

Llama spit is a projectile produced by llamas that deals a small amount of damage.

Behavior

Llama spit that hits an entity deals 1HP♥ damage. Despite the spit being a projectile, dying from llama spit still shows the death message "<player> was slain by trader llama/llama." In Bedrock Edition, however, the death message is "<player> was spitballed by trader llama/llama". When a llama accidentally hits a neutral or hostile mob (except goats) with its llama spit, the mob retaliates and attacks that llama.

The spit entity must belong to an entity to do damage, meaning that a spit entity summoned by commands does no damage unless its Owner NBT attribute matches the UUID of an entity in loaded chunks.

In Bedrock Edition, llama spit can be deflected if hit by the player or hit by certain projectiles. Doing so makes the new entity the owner of the spit.

Llama spit can not pass through any blocks, and in Java Edition, includes non-solid blocks (ex. signs, open fencegate & sugarcane) and even water. The spitting animation still shows the trajectory but the spit entity that does damage terminates on the non-solid block.

Llama spit can be blocked by a shield or deflected by fist ‌.
