Llama Steeds
Llama Steeds lets players saddle llamas so they can ride them, and it links llamas into caravans that follow a rider.
What it does
A saddle lets a player mount a llama and steer it like a horse, a riding option that vanilla does not offer. Llamas that are led behind a ridden llama join its line, forming a caravan. The gamerule maxLlamaCaravanLength sets how long a caravan may grow, and the data pack ships with the mod.
Fabric API is required, so it must be installed next to Llama Steeds on Fabric. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.14 – 26.2, with 44 release versions, and the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds target 26.2 while the latest Forge build targets 1.20.4.
The code is open source under the zlib License, and the project publishes its source code and an issue tracker for reports. Releases are posted on GitHub, and the mod was first published on 2023-04-09 and last updated on 2026-07-12.

How it compares
No Llama and No Trader Llama are server-side tools for removing llamas and are not open source; both are released under All rights reserved, cover 1.13 – 1.21.11 and need no client install. Better Than Llamas is a client-side only mod under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, built for 1.18 – 1.21.5, so it changes only the client. Llama Steeds is the one here that adds riding and caravans on both sides.
