LLamaPalooza guide for FTB Skies 2: Aero 1.9.0 to 1.9.1

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.23.0 guide

LLamaPalooza is part of this pack. This version ships LLamaPalooza 0.0.5, built for Minecraft 1.21.1 (file LLamaPalooza-1.21.1-0.0.5.jar).^[1]

It isn't a new addition either. The pack's mod list shows it was already included in version 1.0.1 or earlier, so it has been around for a long time.^[1]

Unverified What LLamaPalooza adds to the game (its items, blocks or mechanics) can't be confirmed from the material available for this pack, so this guide doesn't describe its features. No recipes, configs or guidebook entries for it were available either.

Here's the honest picture for LLamaPalooza in this pack: the information I can confirm is about how Loot Llamas behave, not about a crafting order. There are no recipes for the mod's items and no quests that involve it in the sources I have, so I can't give you a first-items-to-craft list without making it up.^[2]

What Loot Llamas do

The mod's settings show that Loot Llamas spit items out at a regular interval. By default, they only do this when a player is within 16 blocks of them. So if you want to see what a Loot Llama gives you, stay close to it.^[2]

The mod default for the spit interval is 200 ticks, where 20 ticks equal 1 second. The mod also has Speed upgrade levels, and each level reduces that interval by 20 ticks by default.^[2]

Settings worth knowing about

• Always spit: off by default. If it's turned on, Loot Llamas spit items even when no players are nearby.^[2]
• Spit interval: the time in ticks between spits. The mod default is 200.^[2]
• Speed reduction: the ticks removed per Speed upgrade level. The mod default is 20.^[2]
• Tables: the list of loot tables the mod knows about, written as namespace:loot_table_name, for example minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon.^[2]

Unverified How to obtain Loot Llamas or Speed upgrades, any crafting recipes for the mod's items, and any quests related to LLamaPalooza are not confirmed by the available sources, so this guide doesn't describe them.

LLamaPalooza is built around Loot Llamas that spit items out. The sources for this pack only cover the mod's config, so this section is short. It explains how the spitting is timed and what the pack changed.^[2][3]

How Loot Llamas spit items

Loot Llamas spit items out at a fixed interval, set by general.spitInterval. The mod default is 200 ticks, but the pack raises it to 1,200 ticks. The config counts 20 ticks as 1 second. Llamas in this pack spit much more slowly than the mod's defaults would suggest.^[2][3]

Normally a Loot Llama only spits when a player is within 16 blocks. The pack turns on general.alwaysSpit, whose mod default is false. Here, Loot Llamas keep spitting even when nobody is nearby.^[2][3]

Speed upgrades

Each Speed upgrade level reduces the spit interval by the amount set in general.speedReduction. The mod default is 20 ticks per level, but the pack doubles it to 40 ticks per level. Speed upgrades are therefore twice as effective here as in the mod's defaults.^[2][3]

What they spit

The loot comes from loot tables the mod knows about, listed in general.tables. Entries use the syntax namespace:loot_table_name. The pack's list contains a single entry, ftb:llama_food.^[2][3]

Unverified The sources don't explain how to obtain Loot Llamas or Speed upgrades, how the upgrades are applied, or whether the mod has machines, multiblocks, power, fluid handling or automation features. None of this is confirmed for this pack.

LLamaPalooza keeps its settings in a common config file, and this pack changes some of the values you are most likely to notice. Here is what each option does and what the pack sets it to.^[4]

Values the pack changed

• general.spitInterval is the number of ticks between Loot Llamas spitting items out. The pack sets it to 1,200 instead of the mod default of 200, so your llamas spit far less often.^[4]
• general.speedReduction is the number of ticks removed per Speed upgrade level. The pack sets it to 40 instead of the mod default of 20, so each Speed level cuts more time than it would in a default install.^[4]

Other options worth knowing

• general.alwaysSpit is set to true in the pack. That means Loot Llamas spit items even when no players are nearby. The config comment lists the default as false, where they only spit when a player is within 16 blocks.^[4]
• general.tables is the list of loot tables the mod knows about. The pack's list contains only ftb:llama_food.^[4]

Upgrade level caps

The pack leaves the level caps at the mod default of 10. These are llama.maxGain for Loot Gain, llama.maxSpeed for Loot Speed and llama.maxStrength for Loot Strength.^[4]
