What's the difference between spawn_adult and spawn_baby?

spawn_adult makes the trader llama appear full-grown and mature. spawn_baby makes it appear as a young llama that will grow up later using the ageable_grow_up event.

Can I use multiple spawn events at once?

No. The /summon and /event commands only let you trigger one spawn event at a time. If you need multiple behaviors, use multiple /event commands on the same llama after spawning it.

Do these spawn events work on older Bedrock versions?

No. Spawn events for trader llamas require version 1.19.10 or newer. Older worlds and versions won't support them.

What does the on_chest event actually do?

It makes the trader llama appear with a chest attachment. This is visual only and doesn't add actual inventory space like it would on a regular llama.

Can I use spawn events in Creative and Survival modes?

Yes. Spawn events work in both Creative and Survival modes on all Bedrock Edition platforms.

Trader Llama Spawn Events - Bedrock Commands

What Are Spawn Events?

Spawn events are special behaviors you can trigger when summoning a mob. They let you customize how the mob acts the moment it appears. For trader llamas, you’ve got spawn events for everything from growing up to joining a caravan.

You use spawn events with two commands: /summon and /event. In /summon, the parameter is called spawnEvent. In /event, it’s called eventName. You can only trigger one spawn event at a time with these commands.

How to Use Spawn Events

/summon Command

Use /summon to create a trader llama with a spawn event. The syntax is straightforward:

/summon trader_llama ~ ~ ~ minecraft:EVENT_NAME

Replace EVENT_NAME with one of the spawn events from the table above.

Example: Summon an angry trader llama:

/summon trader_llama ~ ~ ~ minecraft:become_angry

/event Command

You can also use the /event command on an existing trader llama already in the world. This triggers a spawn event on any trader llama:

/event entity @s minecraft:EVENT_NAME

The @s selector targets yourself. Replace it with other selectors like @e[type=trader_llama] to target specific llamas.

Common Spawn Event Uses

Some spawn events work well together for specific effects:

Angry adult with chest: Summon with minecraft:spawn_adult and minecraft:on_chest, then use /event to trigger minecraft:become_angry
Baby trader: Use minecraft:spawn_baby to start with a young llama that grows up over time
Wandering trader guard: Use minecraft:from_wandering_trader and minecraft:defend_wandering_trader together
Calm llama: Use minecraft:spawn_adult with minecraft:on_calm for a peaceful trader llama
