And so are lucky blocks, root beer, sunglasses, mountain dew, creeper cannons, sprite, computers, seven-up, etc.. But that doesn't mean you should just add them in. They feel very out of place in the game, as does the name "Elytra," and Polar Bears. The llamas also don't expand existing functionality for the game. We already have donkeys and you can hold multiple leads, meaning you can do with a donkey what they're trying to get you to use llamas for. And there are those inventory-saving chests.. If we just add things in because people think they'd be cool, we end up with something akin to Orespawn. Concentrated immaturity and a lack of balance. I personally think a sniper rifle crafted with 2 dirt that does 500 damage per shot would be awesome.
