Technical Details
Llama Steeds was originally developed out of my love for llamas in Minecraft and a desire to learn how mixins work. Mixins essentially allow you to modify obfuscated Java code (e.g. Minecraft's) at runtime (when you play the game).
At its core, Llama Steeds modifies the llama code with mixins to let them be saddled, which is literally 11 lines of code as of Minecraft 1.20.2, including all imports the class needs to work. Slightly more complicated mixins modify llama caravans to implement the other features.
